Photos of Camilla Parker Bowles as a Young Woman
The fourth season of The Crown really dives into the Whole Thing that is Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles’ tumultuous relationship. Season 3 showed how the eventual couple met, the fact that they were dating while Camilla was on a break from her future first husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, and how Princess Anne was actually dating Andrew for a quick sec while Camilla and Charles were together. And season 4 captures how that relationship didn't change all that much after Charles and Princess Diana got married.
We know how their relationship went down IRL, But you might still be wondering what Camilla was like at that age. Do the show and the actress who plays her, Emerald Fennell, do her justice? Here are the very few pictures we can find of Camilla Shand as a young woman.

We love a girl who rides horses. LOVE.
The actor they chose to play her on ‘The Crown’ is so spot on.
