According to a story in Vanity Fair last month, Camilla has watched previous seasons of The Crown and had no qualms about watching the fourth season in which she’s portrayed as ‘the third person’ in the marriage between Charles and Diana.

An insider claimed to Vanity Fair: ‘I imagine she’ll be tuning in with a glass of red wine to watch it… She has a wonderful sense of humor and this won’t fuss her in the slightest.’

The late Princess Diana famously described her marriage to Prince Charles as ‘a bit crowded’ in her BBC interview with Martin Bashir referencing the affair her husband continued with Camilla.

Following Diana’s death in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997, Camilla, who had divorced her husband Andrew Parker-Bowles in 1995, married the Prince of Wales in a civil ceremony in April 2005.
