When the former Prince Charles was crowned the Prince of Wales, he was paired up with Tricia Nixon, President Nixon's daughter. But a love match wasn't meant to be.
Before Princess Diana, King Charles was almost set up with American royalty. The former Prince Charles visited the United States in 1970 when he was 21 and newly crowned the Prince of Wales. An eager President Nixon was determined to play matchmaker between the prince and first daughter Tricia Nixon.

Diana died in 1997 from injuries she sustained in a car crash. She was 36. Diana is survived by her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, who she shared with her ex-husband. Charles and Camilla married in 2005. Charles ascended to the throne upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. England's longest-reigning monarch died in 2022 at age 96.
