Prince Harry has recently addressed his feelings about his father King Charles remarrying after the death of his mother Princess Diana.
The confession that he didn't think it was "necessary" for the wedding to go ahead came years after he was asked his opinion by the paparazzi, but his elder brother jumped in before he could reply. Back in March 2005, with just one week to go before his wedding with Queen Consort Camilla, Charles enjoyed a ski trip in Klosters with his two sons.

"Why go that far when you don't necessarily need to? We wanted him to be happy. And we saw how happy he was with her. So, at the time, it was, 'OK.'"
King Charles was previously married to Princess Diana from 1981 to 1996, but Harry said Camilla was "the third person in their marriage" in reference to his infidelity.
