Charles went to his sister, Princess Anne, for help shortly before the spectacular wedding, but she told him: "You've got to play the hand you're dealt." Camilla —
his longtime mistress and phone-sex partner — also insisted that he should marry the woman he knew he would never love. Camilla called the 20-year-old Diana
"an absolute mouse" who would pose no threat to their affair, adding: "She will be fine. She is almost perfect."
