From Quiz The Guest List

Answer: Camilla Parker Bowles

Camilla Parker Bowles and Prince Charles were romantically involved before, during and after his wedding to Diana Spencer. Their relationship received lots of scrutiny and criticism, particularly for the time period when Charles and Diana were married. At least they were in it for the long haul and they married each other on April 9, 2005. This was the second marriage for both of them. Camilla is entitled to use the title Princess of Wales but at least a little bit of judgment was used in the relationship as she is referred to as the Duchess of Cornwall instead. Diana is in people's hearts as the Princess of Wales.
