Well, no, he disliked his mother - they did not have a good relationship at all. He wanted Camilla Parker-Boyles, who had an on-again/off-again relationship with Andrew Parker-Boyles, who she kind of pushed into marriage. (They were five years older than Charles - and he fell for her at the age of 16.) He's been very happily married to Camilla ever since both of their divorces went through and they were allowed to get married in the late 1990s.
But other than that? You're right. Charles' family pushed him to marry Diana. He'd never have married her otherwise. She was 19, he was in his thirties. It was nuts. They had absolutely nothing in common.
