Tampongate

In December 1989, Charles III had a flirty conversation with Queen Camilla over the phone without knowing that it was being recorded. It was controversial because, in 1989, Charles was still married to Diana, Princess of Wales. He let the public knew about his separation with Diana 3 years later.

The British media called it "tampongate" as Charles mentioned a brand of tampon while flirting with Camilla. The word "gate" is added as a suffix.
