Just when Prince Charles thought things couldn’t get any worse, yet another shameful scandal is causing major upset at the palace. New photographs of New Zealand-based vet Felicity Tonkin Wade – the love child of Princess Anne’s former husband Captain Mark Phillips and art teacher/model Heather Tonkin – have emerged and are threatening to open old wounds once again.
“As the scandal over Charles’ brother Prince Andrew was starting to lessen, Felicity has been thrust into the spotlight and it’s turning into another PR nightmare for the future king,” one palace aide tells Woman’s Day.
ROYAL FAMILY SHAME
According to our source, Felicity’s birth – the product of a one-night stand between married Mark Phillips and her model mother in 1984 – is not only a royal scandal Charles would rather forget, but also a reminder that he himself has been the subject of a number of love child rumours over the years.
