Charles married her because he knew camilla could no longer give birth so the queen and Charles father convince him to marry Diana and later get divorce after she bears him the nxt king to the throne .camilla all along knows that Charles will come for her in the future.remember when he told the world that he never did love Diana?? and that's a pity because that family to me is toxic and i donot regret Harry living.

But when her depression made he unable to cope with all that attention ,she cried and running away and had to be taken away home. Poor thing she can't cope and made liFE VERY DIFFICOLT for herself and husband. She hide from them suffered depression and even bulimia. that made herself more sick. eventually the only helpful think for her, and for everyone was divorce.
Yep, and look who's the queen now. My God. What an injustice.

Thank you for this, we must never forget her. Diana represented the good character in life and I cry for the losses she was made to bear with. Her children live on to shine her light into a world which has forgotten the compassion we all must replant. From Canada I am so in awe of who she came to be and represent.

She was the epitome of a Saint. I'm not even British and I deeply admired her work. Nobody with her influence and stature ever walked a live minefield, or hugged someone dying from AIDS in 1984.

Coming up in a south England boarding school , I remember this exact feeling-that I could like “this” royal. I was genuinely crushed when she passed. I felt empathy for Q E II’s passing, without a doubt. Lady Di, however was another thing altogether. I watched the whole Cinderella wedding on the telly, etc..
Queen of people's hearts, including mine ❤️
The timing of this 💀
Where ever you are out there I miss you terribly
Nobody forgets how her suffering was caused by her adulterous husband and his mistress. Dianna was 19 and she had no idea she was being primed to be a royal brood mare. If she had been given a choice for her future things may have been different for her. In the end she was pushed into the arms of a rich Muslim, and the royal establishment would never allow a half sibling to William, future king, by Dodi Fayed. Was her death an accident? You come to your own conclusions.
