Now the columnists—and even some of his friends—are betting that the prince, who turns 28 in two months, will become engaged after he leaves the navy next year to 25-year-old Davina Sheffield.
The Queen was displeased that she had decided to sit in Queen Victoria's chair and was snubbed by Prince Philip. The future King set about the task with enthusiasm - and a string of close friendships and relationships with princesses, heiresses and even a second cousin until, in 1981, he finally married Lady Diana Spencer. Prince Charles met Lucia Santa Cruz in 1967 at a dinner party hosted by a friend when he was studying at Cambridge University. Beautiful and with an impeccable pedigree, she was a natural choice for the Prince, but it wasn’t to be. In his 2007 biography, Charles - The man who will be King, wrote how fond Lady Amanda was of the future monarch.In the company of esteemed individuals, including French actress Claudine Auger, Shakira Caine, Alexandra Bastedo, and The Countess of Normanton, Davina stands out as an epitome of style and charm. The daughter of wealthy Scottish landowner Hamish Wallace, Anna was dubbed by the press 'Whiplash' because of her fearless attitude and great horsemanship. Tackling both news and features, she's covered everything from the rise of feminist audio porn platforms to the latest campaigns protecting human rights. In Robert Lacey's book, Battle of the Brothers, he explained: 'Over the years the two cousins did grow close, developing a mutual respect and friendship that has lasted to the present day.
The daughter of wealthy Scottish landowner Hamish Wallace, she is said to have dumped the Prince after he brought her to the Queen Mother’s 80th birthday party and then largely ignored her - instead dancing with Camilla Parker Bowles, who he had recently rekindled his relationship with. Photographers and reporters camped outside her small terraced house in Fulham and 10,000 people jammed the Norfolk roads around Sandringham during the New Year's Eve festivities in an attempt to see the woman who could be the country's future Queen. The scoop brought Charles and Davina’s romance to an abrupt end; royal tradition followed at the time dictated any bride of a future King must be ‘intact’. Frederik's younger brother Joachim will be there to witness and support proceedings, but his children will be absent – is this a sign of tension after the titles-row or just a pragmatic approach? This stunning photograph captures the timeless beauty and glamour of Davina Sheffield at a charity function in 1977, where she shone alongside Claudine Auger, Shakira Caine, and Alexandra Bastedo, all friends of Prince Charles.
She also likes to make the odd cake, tackles a bit of DIY, gardens and most of all spends time with her family.
