King Charles' secret affairs that Palace tried to hide

Beneath the surface of British monarchy, few stories capture the imagination like the secrets surrounding King Charles III’s purported affairs. Love stories involving the Queen have, until recently, stolen the show but insiders suggest the narrative hints at something different than the public knows.

The Affair That Shook the Crown

Before Camilla joined the royal family, Charles was thought to be romantically involved with several women including Lady Dale Tryon, “Kanga,” whom he was married to. 

Kanga gained notoriety as an Australian socialite and fashion designer. Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, Kanga continued to build upon the relationship she had with Charles, who had, according to historians, romantically loved her.

Was Camilla the Only One?

While The Daily Mail gave Camilla “the third person” in a description that characterized her as an active participant in Charles and Diana's marital triangle, it seems she wasn't the only one, at least according to some royal watchers. 

Diana and Charles's marriage allegations have trance-like captivated the public's imagination and have received a wealth of attention in some unauthorized biographies which have hinted at methods of communication and telecommunications that are quite unique, clandestine meetings, private letters, and communication methods that are unique and hidden that have yet to come to the attention of the public.

While no concrete evidence has ever been presented, it was reported throughout the 1990s that tabloid journalists were warned off the story with sweeping legal threats stemming from Buckingham Palace regarding the more than persistent rumor on a married aristocrat from Charles’ inner circle that everybody was talking about.

Silence from the Palace

As is tradition, royal family still refuses to confirm or deny any such allegations and as of this moment, the official statement still remains: “King Charles is meant to be seen and respected as a loyal, dutiful man of deep connection and love to his former mistress and eventual wife Camilla” which from a cursory glance seems to be the case.

But, for those who are more inclined to delve deeper into the story and intrepid readers, the picture conjured is far from the simplistic characterization on the surface.

With a royalty centred on reputation and heritage, it is not surprising that tales of clandestine partners and concealed romances are carefully tucked away from public view. But with the constant yearning to unveil the mysteries around the royal family, the questions only multiply: why more information isn't available regarding the individual who now holds the crown?
