Lmao. He did not love Camilla, she was just a convenient and easy f**k. What exactly have you read abou their backstory? Charles was generally unfaithful, he had dozens of girls. Camilla became Chief Mistress because she was convenient. Her house was nearby the Wales house. She was married, so we wouldn't make too many demands of Charles (mistresses mustn't be demanding, they must be soothers of your insecurities). She was plain/not very cute, so she wouldn't outshine Charles. (Many biographers, including Andrew Morton, have noted that Charles actually resented Diana's beauty and hated that she got more cheers and camera flashes than he did.)
And he would've ended the affair many times, if not for Camilla clutching him like a drowning squirrel. The Queen was said to have been angry that Camilla didn't leave Charles alone to repair his marriage.
That he married Camilla in the end has nothing to do with "love", but again soothing his bruised ego. She enabled his narcissism from the start, and he probably resented the public scandal about their affair. So finally he's like, "Well f**k it, I'll need a wife once I'm king, and I'm insecure and lonely, and people already ripped me a new one for having an affair with Camilla. So I'll marry her and then I can give my critics the finger. Hah! We won!"
So romantic. Much roses. Wow.
