The Princess of Wales famously outed their affair to Martin Bashir in an interview that shocked the world.
However, Penny Junor wrote in The Sun: “Camilla and Charles had loved one another for nearly 34 years when they finally wed on April 9, 2005.
“But their love held strong, even when everything else around them had fallen apart.
“Their tears set off the staff who were waiting for them, and soon everybody was sobbing.
Bonded over humour
The biographer claimed that Camilla also has an “unerring ability to laugh even in the most terrible of situations” and her family, including children Tom and Laura, are cut from the same cloth.

“When things go pear-shaped, her first instinct is to laugh. In fact, she is a terrible giggler.
“But she can be tough when needs be. She is nobody’s fool and won’t be pushed around.”
Lavish £50k gifts

In the new portraits to celebrate their 20-year anniversary, Camilla wore a pair of earrings which have a very sentimental meaning.
The Queen wore a bridal white coat dress by Anna Valentine, and accessorised with her £50k wedding earrings, which were thought to have been gifted by Charles.
Unusual bed arrangement

According to Jack Stooks, who worked as a senior gardener at Highgrove for King Charles for over two decades, the royal couple spend time apart, which keeps their bond strong.
While King Charles splits his time between several locations, including his London pad Clarence House and Highgrove House, Camilla heads back to her Wiltshire bolthole, Ray Mill House, for most weekends to escape royal life.

The former staff member shared: “Before Charles and Camilla got married, they agreed Camilla would keep her home.
“For Camilla, her Wiltshire house had so many memories of raising her family.
“It’s somewhere she can go with her family and have a laid back weekend without prying eyes.”
Spicy body language

She told Fabulous: “Beneath all those signals of loving support and dedication though, the subliminal messaging is still one of spice, hinting at a relationship that can still be sexy, naughty, passionate and even fiery when it comes to hints of temper.
“It’s a shared look of mischief that suggests a matching capacity for being playful and even badly behaved.”

During a leaked phone call, Charles and Camilla fantasised about being intimate with each other, and Charles joked about being reincarnated as a tampon so he could live “inside her”.
The phone call occurred while the then Prince Charles was married to Princess Diana, and Camilla was married to Andrew Parker Bowles.

The biographer added: “Everything about him, from the grin on his face to the relaxed body language, tells you that he adores her, depends upon her and that with her in his life he feels complete, I suspect for the first time.
“They are a compelling and well-matched couple, fired by the same ideals, tickled by the same sense of the absurd. They are friends, companions and soulmates.”

Through the treatment, which is ongoing, stoic Camilla has been right by his side.
And Judi notes that there could even be a suggestion “their relationship might have deepened” given Charles’s illness.”
Inside Charles and Camilla's relationship
CHARLES and Camilla’s relationship began back in 1971 when the pair were introduced by a mutual friend.
Aged 23, they quickly became close friends talking for hours on the phone and spending as much time together as possible.
However, the relationship never progressed amid warnings from Charles’ great-uncle Lord Mountbatten that Camilla was not “sufficiently aristocratic” to marry into the Royal Family.
The then-Prince of Wales tied the knot with Diana in 1981 upon his family’s recommendation – but the People’s Princess called the relationship “tricky” as she knew how much Charles loved Camilla.
She claimed that before her wedding, she found out Charles had a bracelet made with the initials “G” and “F” for Gladys and Fred – pet names Camilla and Charles had for each other.
She also found photos of Camilla in Charles’ diary on their honeymoon, as well as cufflinks with the initials “C” and “C” intertwined.
Five years on from their spectacular wedding, Charles and Diana’s marriage was lost – with Camilla firmly back in the picture.
Charles and Diana divorced in 1996, before her death in 1997.
King Charles II wed Camilla Parker-Bowles on April 9 2005, nearly eight years after his ex-wife and mother to his sons, Princess Diana, tragically died.
‘Greatest love story’
She told Fabulous: “The King seems very happy to have Camilla by his side, and I think there is a great deal of gratitude there.
“It’s ironic, really, when you consider how their relationship started.
“Yet, in hindsight, it may be one of the greatest royal love stories of all time, up there with Elizabeth and Philip.”
