The issue never came up of Camilla's becoming Charles' bride. I doubt if he raised it with the RF, because he was rather young to marry at the time of their affair... but there was a general feeling, (NOT a law of any kind) that the Kings wife would be a woman without a past, who would not have lovers who might tattle to the press - just as there was a feeling that it would be very embarrassing if for example a nude picture of said girlfriend turned up...
Koo Stark's semi nude acting scenes were a bit of a strike against her, some few years later and she wasnt dating the future King.
But this is all in the realms of unspoken feelings and conventions so there is not likely to be a quote from the queen saying "No, I've told Charles that he
has to marry a virgin."
Mountbatten DID write to Charles ssaying something like that a man like him should have his fun, date a lot of women and gain experinece before settling down and that then he should pick some nice girl of good character who had had no experiences.
It wasn't at the time all that unsual advice, that it was Ok and desirable for a man to gain pre marital experience but if a woman did it, she was a bit of a floozy. However as the 1970s progressed, the Pill and social changes meant that more and more girls were living openly with boyfriends, having a varied pre marital sex life, etc..so it was getting more and more unlikely that Charles would find a girl near his own age who did not have a sexual past. .
When in the 1980s Andrew was seeing Sarah, I have read somewehre that teh RF felt that her past of having had a well known affair with Paddy McNally would not count against her as by then, nearly all girls in their 20s had had affairs
