On July 29, 1981, Charles married Lady Diana Frances Spencer, daughter of the 8th Earl Spencer. The royal wedding was a global media event, broadcast live on television and watched by hundreds of millions of people. Following the ceremony, she took the title princess of Wales. The couple’s first child, Prince William of Wales, became at his birth in June 21, 1982 second in line of succession to the throne. Their second child, Prince Henry Charles Albert David, was born on September 15, 1984.

Charles’s marriage to Diana gradually grew strained amid intense scrutiny from the tabloid press and rumours of infidelity. On December 9, 1992, it was announced that Charles and Diana had decided to separate but would continue to fulfill their public duties and to share the responsibility of raising their sons. The couple divorced on August 28, 1996. A year later Diana died in an auto accident, and popular feeling for her, stronger even in death than in life, served to jeopardize the traditional form of monarchy that Charles represented.

He subsequently spent much effort in modernizing his public image as the heir apparent. On April 9, 2005, he married Camilla Parker Bowles was born in 1947, with whom he had a long-standing relationship. After the wedding, Parker Bowles took the title of duchess of Cornwall.
