KING Charles was “so miserable” married to Diana, but Queen Camilla gave him a “backbone”, according to a royal expert.
Royal editor Ingrid Seward revealed on The Sun’s Royal Show that the key to Charles and Camilla’s strong relationship is “laughter”.

Speaking to The Sun’s royal correspondent Matt Wilkinson, Ingrid shared: “Charles used to look so unhappy when he was married to the beautiful Diana – how could a man look so unhappy married to someone so beautiful and lovely – but he was obviously very unhappy.
“He looked so happy around Queen Camilla.
“And you can tell she kind of gave him a backbone.
“She’s really a glass half full, and he’s a glass half empty – and she said so – and she makes him laugh.”
Ingrid shared how King Charles and Queen Camilla’s London home, Clarence House, is a “very happy place” and is “full of laughter” and “a little chaotic.”
The royal editor added: “I think they actually laugh.”
“And I know that being royal really separates you from the rest of the world – it’s a very lonely place to be.
“And if you have someone you don’t get along with, it’s even harder.”
Ingrid stated that Queen Camilla is also “very supportive” of King Charles, something he “never had” growing up.
She continued: “She compliments him all the time, ‘honey you were wonderful’, ‘your speech was wonderful’.
“And he needs that, because in his youth he never had that.
“So in his old age, I suppose you could say, he is really being praised.
And you can see how happy he is when he meets the crowd.
“I have never seen Charles so happy as he was over Easter weekend, shaking hands and smiling, and on every walk he has taken since becoming king he seems a very happy man, despite his health It’s not great at the moment.”

However, the couple separated in 1992 and finalized their divorce in 1996.
King Charles and Camilla’s highly publicized romance began at a party.
They were introduced in 1971 by Charles’ college girlfriend Lucia Santa Cruz and quickly bonded over their love of polo.
