Was Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s divorce more amicable than royalists first thought?
Despite their very public fallout and later, Diana’s scathing tell-all by Andrew Morton, Diana: Her True Story, a new documentary on the UK’s Channel 5 recounts a very different view of the pair the day they went their separate ways.
Ingrid Seward, the editor of Royalty Magazine reveals on 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 this crazy separation, but by the time the divorce was finalised, they were on much better terms,” she added.
Ingrid’s revelation shines a very different light on the couple’s tumultuous divorce, which was finalised on August 24, 199.
According to Morton, 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,” he adds to the documentary.
“She was speaking like a prisoner in a cell, that just had a few minutes to get the story out.”
