When Charles Philip Arthur George is crowned King in Westminster Abbey and his wife, Camilla Rosemary, becomes Queen, it will, amidst all that pomp and ceremony, be the culmination of a remarkable love story.

Scandal and misery, media humiliation and public opprobrium shrouded their relationship for so long that it was easy to forget that at its heart was an extraordinary, enduring love. The couple’s situation is pretty much unique, with no historical precedent I can think of. Imagine if the Montagues and Capulets had been at daggers drawn for 50 years and Romeo and Juliet had somehow stuck it out, their hair grey, their youthful faces lined, their bond undying.
