#38: King Charles III & Queen Camilla
King Charles III and Queen Camilla are a slightly different kind of later-life love story, because they first met when they were young. Still, their stable official partnership began after 50. Charles, then Prince of Wales, had lived through his marriage to Princess Diana, while Camilla had been married to Andrew Parker Bowles.

After decades of public scrutiny, Charles and Camilla married in 2005, when they were in their 50s. Their relationship became quieter, steadier, and more official with time, eventually leading to their coronation as King and Queen in 2023. Today, they remain married and carry out royal life together.
