Before King Charles officially got married, he was called playboy prince and also cited as among the most eligible bachelors. Before he settled down with Princess Diana and had a family, he was often in the news for his love affairs.

He kind of had a type- blonde woman, tall and curvy! The list of his love affairs is a part of Bradford’s biography.

Bettina Lindsay

They met in the 70s, attending a concert as snapped by paparazzi. It’s unclear how long the relationship lasted or what it exactly was.

Lucia Santa Cruz

His college girlfriend who made him acquainted with Camilla Shand, the actual love of his life.

Camilla Shand

They met at a polo match in the ’70s. The duo connected quickly, but they were not together for a long time.

Amanda Kantchbull

In between, the prince dated several other women. His lady love from 1974 to 1979 was Amanda. She was the granddaughter of Lord Mountbatten, who wanted the two to get married as Charles was also his godson. However, when Charles proposed, she declined as she did not want to be a royal.

Lady Jane Wellesley

Then comes a just friends type of affair with Lady Jane Wellesley, as the details of their connection are vague.

Georgiana Russel

Another one of an unsuccessful love story for Georgiana Russel who got tired of waiting while dating Prince Charles. She married someone else instead.

Davina Sheffield

Prince Charles almost married Davina Sheffield. The two were serious, and she even got to have lunch with the Queen. Unfortunately, the whole thing was canceled as an ex of hers informed them about their live-in relationship. That information was a potential for scandal for the royals.

Lady Leonora Grosvenor

Another royal that Charles could have married was Lady Leonora Grosvenor. But she instead married the Queen’s cousin.

Anna Wallace
