No protocol reasons to stop them. Charles, being the most eligible bachelor on the planet at the time, vaccillated then went away on a Royal Navy posting. Possibly his first command.

When he returned 18 months or so later, Camilla had married Andrew Parker Bowles - polo player and cavalry officer who moved in the same circles as Charles.

Rest is history.
