A new insight.

As far is the world is concerned, Princess Diana and Prince Charles had a very bad breakup.

The alleged animosity between the couple was splashed all over the media.

However, new information has emerged, and it seems as though the relationship between Charles and Diana wasn’t all bad.

According to the documentary The Royal Family at War:

“Diana did tell me something quite interesting. She said that on the day of the divorce, she and Charles sat down together on the sofa and they both cried.”

It was the Editor of Royalty Magazine, Ingrid Seward, that made this claim, and continued:

“It was this crazy separation, but by the time the divorce was finalised, they were on much better terms.”

Well, that’s comforting to know.

She also spoke about Charles’ relationship with Camilla, and how it was one of the things that Princess Diana feared.

Ms Seward said: “At the time of the marriage, Charles was not seeing Camilla, but Diana was convinced he was.”

This claim conflicts with the tell-all book by Andrew Morton, Diana: Her True Story.

According to the book, Diana was “absolutely miserable” in the marriage, and “felt she was like a prisoner of the Palace.”

“Nothing prepared me for the cascade of information and the controversy that the book aroused.”

“She was speaking like a prisoner in a cell, that just had a few minutes to get the story out.”
