[Telepathic Intruder]

Forced to marry Dianna? I don’t know about that. I’m no fan of royalty, as you can probably tell, and I don’t like the way Dianna was treated by the royal family. Charles married her under false pretenses and then tossed her aside once she did her duty and produced capable heirs. One problem they had with her is that she continued to treat servants as “equals”, which they didn’t like. I remember at Dianna’s funeral Charles was yelling at Dianna’s brother for some reason while he just stood there saying nothing. Very classy. Royalty in my opinion is just a bunch of rich, inbred people with power thinking they’re better than everyone else.

I always felt Diana was scheming, publicity seeking....that she was more than happy to use the media to advance her schemes and interests but then would turn right around 180 degrees and whine about the constant media scrutiny.

You do have an obsession with the "inbred" part. I doubt they're as inbred as you imagine. Throughout most of human history, most people lived their entire lives in the same small village, marrying each other, whereas royals interbred with foreign royals. So perhaps royals are less inbred that commoners?

I'm of the camp that "Shy Di" was far more devious and manipulative than the image she carefully cultivated. She presented a false image of herself to Charles as a naive naif, then created a false image as "a woman of the people" which she weaponized against Charles and the family.

Charles cheated with Camilla. Diana cheated with a roster of lovers.
