Prince Charles is the first to admit he was never truly embraced by the British public. A dour boy who complained of being under-loved by “cold and distant” parents, he grew into a solemn, introverted young man who felt bullied into taking the “right kind of wife” by his family, the media and his subjects.

He was assigned to protect Anne at royal engagements when she was 29, and mother to son Peter, two, and soon became a fixture at her horse events, often seen laughing with his royal charge. In a kiss-and-tell in 1985, Peter revealed their relationship flourished because Anne felt “lonely and isolated” when her husband was away. He claims their trysts occurred…
