The king is the subject of a new documentary on True Royalty TV titled “Charles and the Women Who Could Have Been Queen,' which explores the royal’s quest to find a bride.
Charles attempted to keep it in the family when he dated Lady Amanda Knatchbull, his second cousin and a descendant of Queen Victoria. Knatchbull is the granddaughter of Lord Mountbatten, Charles’ godfather and beloved mentor. According to reports, they dated on and off in the ‘70s, which led Charles to propose. But according to the film, Knatchbull was firm in saying no on the spot to her childhood friend. With little chemistry between the two, there were no hard feelings.
Charles was quoted as saying that Tryon was"the only woman who ever understood me," but some reports alleged that statement may have come from Tryon herself. Nevertheless, Charles was named godfather to Tryon’s son, Charles Tryon, in 1976. Camilla also made Charles the godfather to her son, Tom Parker-Bowles.
Reports claimed that Tryon was iced out by Charles after he and Diana called it quits. It is also believed that Tryon’s willingness to speak with the press prompted the move. In 1996, Tryon fell from a window of a rehabilitation clinic, which left her wheelchair bound. In September 1997, a month after Diana’s death, Tryon and her husband divorced. Two months later, she died from septicemia. She was 49.
