The paper asserts the two share "at least two nights a month" at Charles' St. James apartments and that Camilla last arrived there Monday. "The pair are said by friends to be more in love than ever and 'happy to breathe the same air.' But their hush-hush arrangement is bound to shock millions still grieving over the death of Princess Diana," says the Sun, which highlights the point that Camilla...
