The Woman Who Rejected Prince Charles Twice—Then Walked Out of Windsor Castle

The Woman Who Rejected Prince Charles Twice—Then Walked Out of Windsor Castle Subscribe to the channel: @LostGrandeurUK In 1979, a 23-year-old landowner's daughter named Anna Wallace became the woman the whole country expected Prince Charles to marry. Within a year he had reportedly proposed twice, and twice she had said no. In June 1980, at a ball inside Windsor Castle for the Queen Mother's 80th birthday, Charles spent the evening dancing with the married Camilla Parker Bowles and left Anna standing among the guests. She crossed the floor, told him she had never been treated so badly in her life, and walked out. By 2 December 1980 she had married another man, months before Charles's engagement to Diana was even announced. Then she disappeared from the story, and for more than 40 years she has never said a word.
