Definition of Tampongate
Tampongate or Camillagate was the controversy over a 1989 intimate telephone conversation between Charles, Prince of Wales (later King Charles III), and his then-lover, Camilla Parker Bowles (later Queen Camilla), which was published in the tabloid press in 1993. The tape immediately damaged Charles' public image, and the media vilified Parker Bowles for the breakdown of his marriage to Diana, Princess of Wales. The publication of the tape came only a month after Charles and Diana's formal separation had been announced in the House of Commons.
