Twenty years. Two decades of marriage for a royal couple whose love story has been anything but conventional. This Saturday, 5 presents a documentary commemorating King Charles and Queen Camilla’s anniversary, examining a relationship that has weathered storms of scandal, public disapproval, and intense media scrutiny.
From their initial meeting in 1970, the documentary traces the complicated trajectory of their relationship. Early hurdles, including disapproval from within the royal family and the constraints of other marriages, shaped their path. The shadow of Princess Diana, and Camilla’s portrayal as “the other woman,” loomed large for years, making their eventual marriage in 2005 a truly significant moment in royal history.
This documentary offers a look at their resilience, the gradual shift in public perception, and Camilla’s transition from a figure of controversy to a respected Queen Consort. Featuring expert commentary and seldom-seen archival footage, the program provides context to a relationship that has inrigued the world for over five decades.
Tune in to 5 on Saturday, April 5 at 9:15 PM for “Charles & Camilla: 20 Years Married – A Royal Love Story.”
