Even on dates and during intimate moments, actress Susan George King still called Charles “Sir”
After his first great love, Camilla Shand, married Andrew Parker Bowles in 1973, Charles was free to play on the field.
One woman who caught his eye was actress Susan George – star of the 1971 film Straw Dogs – with whom he enjoyed several intimate dinners.
An informed source, who was very close to her at the time, said that even in their most intimate moments, Susan still referred to the prince as “sir.”

Another actress whom Charles greatly admired was Barbra Streisand, with whom he became close in 1974. He recently told a radio show that they had first met when he was a lieutenant in the Royal Navy and his ship in San Diego, California.

“I said, ‘You know, if I had played my cards right, I could have become the first Jewish princess!’ ‘
