Then how do you explain his string of involvements with non-titled woman vetted as possible Queens - like Davina Sheffield? Who I think I focus on because it was the first moment I really thought he was going to marry - that she was it. Imagine if she had been the one? She seemed a modest sort - not flashy. Too bad it didn't work out.
Look at this picture - so sweet: Prince Charles and Davina Sheffield in a Carriage at Windsor:

This is from a DailyMail article, 2004 - and honestly, I just can't believe the guy was fixated on Camilla early on. Or that Camilla would have seen herself as not up to snuff - look at the women he was dating after her - not everyone had a title, either.
It was with the failure of his first marriage, depressed and disillusioned, that he went seeking for something more. If it wasn't Camilla who Charles sought out in 1986 - who was it? (That may be a thread-nap).
A former aide says: 'Charles has always been attractive to women. Apart from the power thing, he dresses immaculately, he's in good shape and is charming and flirty.' He also has a strong libido [...]
Charles has always seemed to heed the famous 1974 note from his great-uncle, Earl Mountbatten, that said: 'I believe in a case like yours a man should sow his wild oats and have as many affairs as possible before settling down.'
Starting with Lucia Santa Cruz, the daughter of a former Chilean diplomat he met while a student at Cambridge and who is believed to have taken his virginity at 19 Charles has enjoyed flings with a stream of well-bred girls, including the Duke of Wellington's daughter Lady Jane Wellesley; Lord McGowan's daughter Davina Sheffield; landowner's daughter Anna Wallace and socialites Fiona Watson, Sabrina Guinness and model Jane Ward, who told a friend he was 'an experienced lover, tender and sweet.'
