What is Tampongate?
Tampongate, which has also been dubbed Camillagate, refers to a private phone conversation between Charles and Camilla, which took place when they were still married to their respective spouses. The conversation, which happened in December 1989, per Vanity Fair, was secretly recorded and later leaked to the press. Due to the explicit nature of Charles and Camilla's discussion, the leaked recording caused an inordinate amount of drama for the royal family.
As revealed in the actual transcript (shared by TIME), Charles told Camilla he wished he could live in her "trousers," so as to be close to her at all times. She retorted that the prince could be reincarnated as "a pair of knickers," to which he joked that, knowing his "luck," he'd end up as a tampon instead. Needless to say, the world was shocked to learn of Charles' late night phone chats with his former girlfriend.
