Few will know that the now proclaimed King Charles III had several lovers such as Princess Lady Di and Camilla Parker, his second marriage within the British crown; however, few know Amanda Knatchbull, one of the women who was about to be part of the royals, who surprisingly enough, rejected the son of Queen Elizabeth II.
And is that Lord Louis Mountbatten, who is a distant cousin of the late monarch of the United Kingdom, would plan that his granddaughter (Knatchbull) would marry at some point in history with Charles III, and that he considered that Amanda met the requirements for the profile of princess, this according to the book “Battle of the Brothers” by Robert Lacey.
Mountbatten told the now King Charles III that a man should have as many affairs as he can before settling down, but for a wife, he should choose an attractive girl, the right one and sweet-natured before meeting someone else he could fall in love with.
In this sense, Amanda and Charles III had a very close relationship, who in 1979, during his trip to India, he proposed to her, but, although he looked like a movie heartthrob, she rejected him because she did not feel attraction, and only wanted his friendship, plus she wanted to keep her private life away from the cameras.

It should be noted that one of the main reasons why she did not agree to marry Charles III, was out of fear, since in August of that same year, her grandfather Lord Mountbatten, who became a very famous politician, was murdered along with his wife Lady Brabourne and his grandson, Nicholas, also Amanda’s brother, by an armed group.
As a result, the young woman was terrified of being so exposed and feared for her life, thinking that she would also be assassinated.
Thus, after Amanda’s rejection to Charles III, he decided to marry years later with Princess Lady Di, while the young woman who rejected the current King of England, married in 1987 with a novelist and real estate investor named Charles Ellingworth, who had three children with him, even both families continue to have a close relationship.
