Camilla Parker Bowles faced severe public backlash when her affair with Prince Charles was revealed, causing her to hide from the public eye and endure mistreatment. Royal expert Angela Levin revealed that Camilla was afraid to leave her house and had to send friends to do her errands. Levin explained, “She was constantly called nasty names like ‘rottweiler,’ and it must have come as a huge shock that people were so vile about her.”

The relationship between Charles and Camilla dates back to 1972 when they first met at a polo match. They briefly dated before Charles left to serve in the Royal Navy. Camilla married Andrew Parker Bowles in 1973, but Charles and Camilla’s affair continued. Princess Diana initially got along with Camilla, but tensions arose.
