in London.

book was published, stating that Prince Charles had continued
to stay in touch with Camilla Parker Bowles, his old girlfriend,
all through their marriage.
In 1992, they announced their formal separation.

Her enthusiastic support for several charities

touched many people around the world.
The Princess was very photogenic and became

Unfortunately, this was to lead to her tragic
death at only 36 years old.
Millions of people all over the world wept
as they watched her funeral on television.
