You know, I heard about that too.
I remember a few days leading up to the wedding a few months ago, I think it was an A&E Biography that touched on that fact. I believe Camilla used that info to her advantage when she introduced herself to young Charles years ago. Something along the lines of, "My ancestor shagged your ancestor. Care to repeat history?" Something like that.
And it wasn't just A&E either. CNN, MSNBC, and all the major networks mentioned it at least once. That family must love breeding homewreckers, seriously.
