The tragic death of Princess Diana in 1997 was a shock for the whole world.
On July 1, 2024, Princess Diana could turn 63 years old. However, it remained forever at the age of 36, died at the end of August 1997. This event shocked millions of people. The royal biographer Penny Junior in her book "Firma", dedicated to the history of the Windsor family, described the fatal day when the sad news reached the Buckingham Palace. Later, the extracts from this book were published by Express.
As Junior writes, hearing the tragic news, Charles said:
“They will all blame me, aren't you? The world is crazy. We will face a reaction that we did not even imagine. And she can destroy everything. It can destroy the monarchy. "
Charles's words were somewhat prophetic to some extent: the reaction to the death of a nationwide pet was indeed a large -scale. It seems that there was no person in the United Kingdom who would remain indifferent to the death of the "Queen of Human Hearts." People brought flowers to Buckingham Palace and left hundreds of records in a book for compassion.
Many blame Diana's death of the British royal family, putting forward various theories. The current King of the UK may have been right: some fans of Diana are still negatively due to his relationship with Camilla Parker-Boules. Charles could not forgive that his marriage with Lady Dee was unhappy.
The royal biographer also noted that on that fatal day, Charles called his friends in search of support and, first of all, Camilla. As for Elizabeth II, it was during this period, as Junior writes, "had never been a relationship with the son and mother more tense."
Recall that in August 1996, Prince Charles and Princess Diana officially divorced. The prince tried to take care of everything and immediately began to develop a plan for how to competently present his long -standing loved one. Elizabeth II's eldest son decided to wait for people to forget about his resonant gap with his wife. However, due to the death of his ex -wife in a terrible car crash in Paris, all his plans were destroyed - to officially recognize Camilla with his companion during such a difficult time he could not. At that time, only the lazy did not blame Charles of the fact that the tragedy had occurred because of his fault, too.
