The saddest story of "love triangle" is Princess Diana's marriage to Prince Charles.
Prince Charles met Diana in 1977, while dating her sister. It was far from love at first sight when Charles met Diana. In fact, when the heir to the throne was first introduced to the future Princess of Wales during a grouse hunt at Althorp, the Spencer family home, in November 1977, he was there with her older sister, Sarah. That couple had a short-lived romance, but they obviously weren't compatible—Sarah, who went on to marry Neil McCorquodale, reportedly said she wouldn’t marry Charles “if he were the dustman or the King of England.”
Princess Diana’s sister, Sarah, dated Prince Charles briefly in the late ’70s and was the one to introduce the future royal couple. While her big sister may not have been head-over-heels, 16-year-old Diana evidently had a different impression, telling her friends that one day she was going to marry Prince Charles and laughing that he was, “The one man on the planet who is not allowed to divorce me,” according to The Diana Chronicles.
In her later years, she recalled the incident somewhat differently, telling author Andrew Morton for his book Diana: Her True Story in Her Own Words that her first thought upon meeting the Prince of Wales was, “God what a sad man.”
Charles, meanwhile, recalled that first meeting in a 1981 interview with The Telegraph: "I remember thinking what a very jolly and amusing and attractive 16-year-old she was. I mean, great fun, and bouncy and full of life and everything."
However, it's widely accepted that he was still in love with Camilla at the time. The two had dated in the early '70s and Charles had intended to propose, but a combination of Camilla's on-again-off-again relationship with Andrew Parker Bowles, the interference of her and Parker Bowles's parents, and a feeling within the royal family that Camilla wasn't a suitable match for the heir to the throne caused friction.
Camilla ultimately married Parker Bowles in 1973, though the couple divorced in 1995. At that time they released a statement, which read in part: "Throughout our marriage we have always tended to follow rather different interests, but in recent years we have led completely separate lives," according to The Washington Post.
Charles and Diana started dating after reconnecting while staying with mutual friends. The relationship didn't stand quite the same test of time. Though the couple went on to have two children, Prince William and Prince Harry, it slowly became obvious that they weren't a good match. Charles began an affair with Camilla in the 1980s, which would ultimately create a massive, worldwide scandal when the news went public in the early '90s. By 1992, Charles and Diana had separated; they officially divorced in 1996, just a year before her tragic death.
Eventually, Charles and Camilla began openly seeing one another, and after a change to the Church of England's rules about remarriage after divorce took effect in 2002, finally married in a civil ceremony in 2005.
