Why was Camilla at the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana? When 20-year-old Diana walked down the aisle of St Paul's Cathedral with her father Earl Spencer, she was looking for one particular person: Camilla Parker Bowles, her future husband's ex-girlfriend. "I knew she was there, of course. I was looking for her," Diana told biographer Andrew Morton in 1991. "And so, walking down the aisle, I spotted Camilla, in a light grey dress and a pillbox hat with a veil, saw her son Tom standing on a chair. To this day you know - it's a very vivid memory." It is known that the invitation was insisted on by Charles himself, although the royal family was strongly opposed.
