After her confession to the BBC, her life was ruined, as well as that of other people, her sons Princes William and Harry say.
A young woman, almost a child, will close her eyes and large tears will roll down her soft skin. Lump in the throat, lead in the heart. She just heard “I don’t love you” from the man she’s going to marry in the morning. The story of Lady Diana and Crown Prince Charles has never been a romantic tale of a prince and princess.
From the very beginning, a stigma describes Diana – appropriate. He was in his 30s, he needed a wife, a virgin, a Protestant, of good descent.

She will later say:
“He had found a virgin, sacrificial lamb and was somehow obsessed with me, but he was hot or cold. I never knew what mood he would be in – up or down.”
It was as if she had a premonition of what awaited her, and the day before the wedding, as she had lunch with her sisters, she told them: “I can’t marry him, I can’t do that.”.
“And they said to me, ‘Well, good luck, Dutch, your face is on the tea towels, so it’s too late to run.’
Some time ago, Diana’s girlfriend, Penny Thornton, said in a documentary that the princess heard the devastating words “I don’t love you” the night before her glamorous wedding to Prince Charles. “She was considering canceling the wedding at the last minute.”, Penny is adamant.
Misled
On paper, their life together lasted 15 years, but unofficially ended years earlier because, as Diana admits in an interview – the third in the relationship – Charles’ current wife and his first love Camilla Parker Bowles.

It was the interview with Martin Bashir in “Panorama” on the BBC that puts the final chord of their marriage. It has recently become clear that Bashir acted through her brother Charles Spencer, to whom he showed fake bank statements that they were allegedly paying two people at the royal court to stalk his sister. Spencer grabbed and persuaded Diana to pay attention to the journalist. Prince William directly accused the BBC of fueling Diana’s fears, paranoia and loneliness in the last years he had spent with her, and of poisoning her relationship with Prince Charles.
“In my opinion, the disappointing way in which this interview was received had a significant impact on what my mother said. It contributed greatly to the deterioration of my parents’ relationship and has hurt countless others since then.”said William. Prince Harry agrees with his brother: “The undulating effect of this culture of exploitation and practices contrary to any ethics eventually took her life.”.
The television apologized in writing to everyone in her family.
Lady Diana’s interview with the BBC
Diana’s appearance before the BBC in November 1995 was historic not only because members of the royal family gave interviews extremely rarely, but also because of the shocking confessions about the collapse of her marriage and infidelity. Diana and Charles have been separated since 1992, but after the infamous interview, Queen Elizabeth wanted a formal divorce, which takes place today in 1996.
What he said to the BBC
Before Bashir, Diana shared that she and Charles had an extramarital affair. Charles has resumed contact with Camilla, and the princess admits to her relationship with Cavalry Officer James Hewitt. “I adored him. I was in love with him.”she says. Diana also says that she suffers from bulimia and that she has a tendency to self-harm.
He suggests that Prince Charles is not a king. She also reported that Charles’ men were campaigning against her. 20 million viewers watch the interview and it causes huge controversy.
A graphic designer working for the BBC says he was asked by Martin Bashir to make fake bank statements. Bashir admits, but claims he didn’t show them to Spencer until he realized he had nowhere to go.
Injured
After a while, in front of another media, Diana revealed details about her sex life with Charles, as well as about his infidelities. He called the intimacy between them strange and that they made love once every three weeks. She attributes to her immaturity the omission of many signs that he is having an affair with Camilla.
“When people saw me in the red coat crying at the airport because Charles was on a 5-week trip, they thought it was because I was going to miss him. But it was because a little earlier, I found out about him and Camilla.”.
She enters her husband’s office and talks about his trip when Camilla calls him. Diana wonders if she should go out or stay. In the end, she chooses to be tactful. But later he sees a package and asks him what’s in it, and he says not to open it. However, she decides to check and sees a bracelet for Camilla. This completely breaks her heart.
They escort her with 17 million pounds
Leaving the royal court, Diana receives an agreement for a considerable sum of about 17 million pounds, but a special clause in it forbids her to discuss the details. Days before the official divorce decree, the queen issued a decree naming the persons married to a member of the royal family after their divorce. According to these rules, as she is no longer married to the Prince of Wales and thus no longer a member of the royal family, Diana loses the title of Her Royal Highness and is instead titled Diana, Princess of Wales.
After the divorce, Diana returned to her home in Kensington Palace, completely redecorating it. She remained there until her death. She is officially dating the respected heart surgeon from Pakistan – Hasnat Khan, whom her friends call “the love of her life” after her death. The two have been together for almost two years in complete secrecy before ending the relationship due to cultural differences. Shortly afterwards, Diana began a relationship with Dodi Al-Fayed.

Her friends about the events
“Soon after the interview, Diana changed. She was constantly worried that there was a conspiracy against her. The paranoia led her to think that Prince Charles had an affair with one of their sons’ governesses. The fear of wiretapping made her change her phone number as well. at Kensington Palace, Rosa Moncton, another friend of Diana, told the Daily Mail. She also believes that the interview with the BBC turned Diana’s life upside down. “Buckingham hastily decided to divorce Prince Charles, and the other big mistake was that they took away her royal title. If she had kept it, she would hardly have been in the car of a drunk driver on August 31, 1997.” Moncton thinks.
“Martin Bashir was very convincing to Diana because he enjoyed the authority of the BBC. Despite his pious appearance, however, he filled her head with nonsense. After a preliminary conversation with him, Diana believed that Prince Charles had an affair with her sons’ babysitter. she became paranoid and constantly worried that her phone calls were being recorded. “, explains the former lover Kahn, who very rarely comments on his relationship with the princess.
“One of Diana’s most attractive qualities was her vulnerability. That made her even sweeter in people’s eyes. Bashir took advantage of this vulnerability and exploited her.”, the 62-year-old cardiologist told the Daily Mail.
His relationship with Diana began in 1995 and ended a few months before her death on August 31, 1997. He attended this preliminary meeting with the journalist, which took place in a pub, and immediately afterwards advised Diana to be careful.
“From the beginning, Martin started with personal questions – why don’t we marry Diana, when will the wedding be. I didn’t like that and I warned Diana to be careful. Of course, I’m not naive and I know she wanted to give such an interview. but if Bashir hadn’t been so insistent, the Panorama conversation might not have taken place, says the doctor.
Philanthropy
After her divorce, Diana worked for the Red Cross and participated in campaigns to remove anti-personnel mines around the world. Her work is more humanitarian.

She pursues her own interests in philanthropy, music, fashion and travel – although she still needs permission from the royal family to take her children on holiday or to represent the United Kingdom abroad. Except for a weekend or holiday at home, Diana spends most of her time in London, often without her sons, who are either with Prince Charles or at school.

On August 31, 1997, Diana died in a car accident in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris, along with Egyptian businessman Dodi Al-Fayed, sitting in one of the back seats, and Trevor Reese-Jones, security manager at the Ritz Hotel. Paris in the other back seat.
On the day of the fatal accident
None of the four passengers in the car was wearing a seat belt.
Blood tests show that Henry Paul was under the influence of alcohol while driving. He drove at high speed to escape the pursuing paparazzi. Tests show that he has 3 times more alcohol in his blood than the permissible levels. Dodi Al Fayed’s bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was closest to the crash site, and yet he was the only one who survived, although injured.
Henri Paul and Dodi Al-Fayed died on the spot, and Diana, who was sitting in the back seat but without a seatbelt, slipped forward on impact and sank under the front seat.

The investigation ended in 1999 with the statement that the car accident in which the princess died was caused by Paul, who lost control of the car at high speed and under the influence of alcohol. Since February 1998, Dodi’s father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, owner of Harrods and the Ritz Hotel, for which Paul works, has claimed that the crash was the result of a conspiracy and was led by MI6 under instructions from Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
