Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles had been married for 15 years by the time April 9, 2020, rolled around. However, their anniversary celebrations were likely much different than what they could have expected. Instead of a lavish party filled with friends and family — or even a more intimate event, for that matter — the pair marked the occasion in isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Charles became the first British royal to test positive for the illness in March 2020, which forced both himself and his wife into isolation until he was well again and until Camilla was deemed safe from the virus. “The future king was self-isolating in Birkhall — and that meant keeping apart from Camilla, who was also self-isolating in another part of their grand home in the Scottish highlands,” per People magazine.
According to People, the couple was reunited on April 6, 2020, just in time to celebrate their past 15 years as husband and wife by spending some one-on-one time together at their Scottish home. In honor of the milestone, the Clarence House Instagram, which posts photos and videos of The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, gave followers a look at the couple at Birkhall with Camilla’s dogs Bluebell and Beth. The account also shared a slideshow of the duo, looking as happy together during their marriage as they’ll surely continue to be in the years to come.
