Re: ROYALS: King Charles' Forgotten Mistress DIED Broken-Hearted After He Chose Camil
King Charles' Forgotten Mistress Who DIED Broken-Hearted After He Chose Camilla
Lady Dale Tryon - or 'Kanga' as she was nicknamed by Charles - is said to have been as important to the future King as his other girlfriend Camilla
BBC News 12 MAY 2023
King Charles' affair with his now-wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, has been common knowledge for decades, and much was previously made of her transition from mistress to Queen.
But far less has been reported about his supposed second mistress, Lady Dale 'Kanga' Tryon, who died just months after his first wife, Princess Diana, in mysterious circumstances.
Once described as "the only woman who ever understood Charles", Dale was a socialite in British royal court circles and a successful businesswoman in the fashion world.
Born in 1948 in Melbourne, Australia, to a wealthy middle-class family, Dale moved to London in 1972, where she met her future husband, Anthony Tyron, 3rd Baron Tryon.
Dale became friends with Charles through Anthony, who was one of his closest pals during the 1970s and 1980s.
According to a 2008 documentary, Prince Charles' Other Mistress, Charles was already seeing Camilla, who was married to Andrew Parker Bowles, when Dale caught his eye.
Charles was apparently as smitten with Dale - who he nicknamed Kanga - as he was with Camilla. And when the Baroness gave birth to a child with her husband, she named her son after Charles and even made him godfather.
The single Prince allegedly jumped between Camilla and Dale, who are said to have been sworn enemies. The supposed love triangle only came to an end when Charles married Diana.
Dale reportedly began to understand the power that came with being a mistress of the future monarch, and utilised it to drum up publicity for her 'Kanga' fashion line.
It's believed that Dale became Diana's friend and Camilla's enemy - with the Princess even wearing one of Kanga's designs in 1985.
But while she reportedly remained in love with Charles, it was Camilla he chose to restart his affair with.
Sadly, Dale's health then deteriorated with the re-occurrence of her childhood illness, Perthes' disease, and a diagnosis of uterine cancer in 1993.
