When did Princess Diana and Camilla first appear together in public? It happened in 1980 at the Ludlow races. Young 19-year-old Diana Spencer came to the races with Prince Charles's friend, 33-year-old Camilla Parker Bowles. At this time, no one understood how important Camilla occupied in the life of the prince. And the relationship between Diana and Charles has not yet been publicly announced. Charles first met Diana three years before the events described, when Diana was 16 years old and the prince was 29. It is known that Camilla was always close to Charles, was considered his friend, and Charles even became the godfather to her son. A very young and inexperienced Diana did not suspect that there could be something more in this relationship, and oddly enough, Camilla Parker Bowles would become the main part of the tragic story of her life.
