King Charles: This is what he said to Camilla during that infamous phone call that shocked the world

The British Royal Family has had its fair share of drama and scandal over the centuries. Despite its well-polished and carefully thought out image, it has been at the heart of many scandals and controversies over the years.

One of the most violent ones has taken place in the days following the death of Princess Diana in the summer of 1997, while she was trying to escape from paparazzis in Paris. Before her brutal death, the Princess of Hearts was married to then-Prince Charles. And the least we can say is that the future king of England was not the most faithful of husbands.

Charles cheated on Diana with Camilla

Indeed, while Princes Harry and William's mum was still married to Queen Elizabeth II's son, the latter was also in a relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, whom he married in 2005, seven years after Diana's death. The adulterous affair broke out in 1993, when a British newspaper broadcast a telephone conversation between Prince Charles at the time and Camilla, who have recently starred in Coronation Street, as themselves!

In exclusive recordings, King Charles, still Prince of Wales at the time, can be heard talking to his mistress, Camilla, and saying:

Oh, God. I’ll just live inside your trousers or something. It would be much easier!

To which Camilla answered:

What are you going to turn into, a pair of knickers? Oh, you’re going to come back as a pair of knickers.

And Prince Charles said, while laughing:

Or, God forbid, a Tampax. Just my luck!

The messages between Charles and Camilla shocked the world

The content of this naughty conversation is rather surprising, to say the least. The Prince of Wales at the time then told Camilla:

I can't start the week without you. Your greatest achievement is loving me.

Princes Harry and William's future step-mother then concluded with:

I would put up with anything for you. That's love. That's the power of love.
