Early romance of Charles, Camilla to be made into film
www.chinaview.cn 2005-04-13 09:19:37

    BEIJING, April 13 -- You've seen Prince Charles and Camilla being wed on television. Now you can catch their early romance on film, in a one-off special catapulting the middle-aged British couple back 34 years in time.

Britain's ITV television channel said Monday it was currently casting actors for a two-hour dramatization of the first meeting and early relationship between Britain's heir to the throne and Camilla Parker Bowles, then known by her maiden name Camilla Shand.

    Britain's ITV television channel said Monday it was currently casting actors for a two-hour dramatization of the first meeting and early relationship between Britain's heir to the throne and Camilla Parker Bowles, then known by her maiden name Camilla Shand.

    But the film will end at Charles' 1981 marriage to then Lady Diana Spencer, without going into lurid but little-known details about how he and Camilla rekindled their romance.

    The film is to be entitled Whatever Love Means ¡ª quoting Charles' response to the press when he was asked earlier this year whether he loved Camilla.

    A spokeswoman at Granada, the ITV franchise producing the film, told the media that the drama would focus on "why they fell in love so deeply" and recount their "passionate relationship up to his marriage."

    Charles and Camilla, then in their early 20s, met for the first time at a polo match in Windsor, and they later became close, spending time at the prince's private apartments in Buckingham Palace.

    However, after Charles joined the Royal Navy and was posted abroad, Camilla lost hope and married army officer Andrew Parker Bowles in 1973.

    Whatever Love Means will film for five weeks in Dublin beginning in May, and is scheduled for broadcast in Britain later this year.
