Diana thought Charles and Camilla were just friends and found out about their history only after she said yes to his proposal.

Charles Didn’t Tell Diana He and Camilla Used to Date Here’s the true story of Princess Diana and Camilla’s relationship-and that awkward meeting. JFYI: Even though Diana and Camilla’s tense lunch scene felt almost too wild to be true, the women in Prince Charles’s life really did hang out. But if you're still hung up on the lunch 🍵 (same)-and the general drama around Charles, Diana, and his affair with Camilla-here are all the deets right this way. Since then, season 5 of The Crownhas come and gone and went even more into depth on the time period between the ’90s and the early aughts-aka then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s divorce as well as Princess Diana’s tragic death. Like, straight up: If your new boyfriend tries to make you hang out with his ex-girlfriend, maybe…like…break up with him! It feels like we watched The Crown season 4 and its many, many awkward moments, like, 30 million years ago, but one scene that has unfortunately been living in my head rent-free since then? Yep, *that* lunch meeting between Princess Diana and now-Queen Camilla Parker Bowles at a restaurant called Ménage à Trois.
