00:00How did Queen Elizabeth supposedly give Camilla a lesson she would never forget?
00:05In 2005, Charles and Camilla were finally preparing to marry.
00:09But according to this story, Camilla made an unusual request before the wedding.
00:15She reportedly asked Queen Elizabeth not to wear blue to the ceremony.
00:19The reason came from an old superstition claiming that when a queen wore blue to a wedding,
00:24the marriage would eventually end in divorce.
00:27Supporters of the rumor pointed to several royal marriages,
00:31including Charles and Princess Diana, Princess Margaret's marriage, and Princess Anne's first marriage.
00:37But there was another reason Elizabeth was not planning to attend the ceremony in the first place.
00:43She had never supported Charles marrying Camilla and had already decided to stay away from the wedding.
00:49Then came the alleged twist.
00:51Rather than confronting Camilla, the queen supposedly announced that she would attend wearing white.
00:58If the story were true, that created an awkward problem.
01:02Royal protocol was said to discourage other women at the same event from wearing the same color as the queen.
01:08Camilla could hardly wear white to her own wedding.
01:12In the end, she appeared in a pale gray outfit instead.
01:15Whether the story is fact or royal folklore, it became another chapter in the complicated history between Elizabeth, Charles, and
01:24Camilla.
