Echoes of "Tampongate"
In 1993, Charles made international news when tabloids published transcripts of phone calls he had made to now-wife Camilla Bowles while they were both married to other people.
The scandal became known as "Tampongate" because the transcripts included an exchange in which the duo discussed Charles' hope to be reincarnated as one of Camilla's tampons. Some online observers have noted that the portrait's color and texture resemble a used feminine hygiene product, leading to comparisons.
