I remember my reaction at the time was shock. I said to my British husband (who could not have cared less) that I realized people died in car crashes, but not usually people like her. Diana was a young, naive brood mare for the heir and the spare. I believe she was actually in love with Charles, but found out about his mistress before the wedding. She didn’t feel she could cancel the wedding and extracted a promise that the physical relationship was over. He lied. She didn’t see any way out and started having affairs of her own. What a mess that marriage was! What a mess her life was! No, Diana wasn’t blameless and Diana was really manipulative. I have always had respect for the Queen, who has tried her best to keep dignity in the monarchy. Charles is a prig. I know he will be King, as long as he outlasts his mother. But thankfully his tenure should be short. I think the biggest misfortune in the whole mess is the fact that those two young guys lost their mother as such early ages. They seem to be pretty good people. I look forward to seeing William and Kate in the palace.
You give too much credit to William, Kate & Harry.
