Prince Charles and Diana had a fairytale wedding of the century in the 1980s, but their physical relationship was not romantic, even when Charles proposed.
Ingrid Seward, editor of Majesty magazine, revealed in channel 5's documentary " Charles and Diana " that Prince Charles' proposal was not romantic , and he called Diana to a nursery at Windsor Castle ( " Because the nursery is like a home " ) , where she simply and directly asked for ideas about marriage. It is reported that in the face of such a somewhat serious and embarrassing scene at that time, 19-year-old Diana also laughed at one point ("suddenly burst into laughter").
In this regard, biographer Christopher Wilson said in a recent interview with the British "Mirror" that although the scene is not romantic, Prince Charles does not behave at all like he wants to marry his beloved in love, but Diana is still fascinated, and after hearing Charles's inquiry, she did not even have the slightest consideration and hesitation, and directly said that she was willing.
At that time, she may not have thought that the marriage between the two was just a routine for each other.
According to Wilson, Prince Charles, after the successful marriage proposal, called his mother, the Queen of England, and told the Queen, "Well, I've done it now." You asked me to marry someone, and I've settled it. ”
Wilson said it was clear that marriage was more of a problem to be solved for Charles, the Prince of Wales at the time, as the first heir to the throne, who was 32 years old at the time, marriage was an urgent issue that needed to be solved, Diana just happened to appear at that time, and she happened to be a perfect wife candidate.
In this regard, royal expert Elizabeth Holmes also once pointed out that the couple's union was "almost like a business transaction" and was not romantic at all. Holmes said Diana met their demands in every way and that she was more than willing to please them.
After all, Diana was only 19 years old at the time, and Charles held the title of Prince of Wales, as the most golden bachelor in Britain, for Diana, a young girl who was doing a "romantic princess dream", it was very attractive.
But Diana was misled, she was too young to know the real inside story behind the matter, prince Charles did so to fulfill the queen's request, as heir, which was a duty he needed to fulfill. She made this momentous life decision without sound family support and too much guidance. In fact, if you look back, it's easy to see that these are all red flags...
Before the engagement, the two had only met 12 times, and it could even be said that they could not get to know each other well. Many royal experts believe that if the two can be in a relationship for a longer time, they will find that they are not suitable for each other.
In fact, even during the love period, Charles did not have much affection for Diana, and in Diana's first autobiography, it was revealed that during the love, Charles was hot and cold to her, sometimes for several days in a row " evaporated " , and after the two contacted again , they didn't say anything about the previous "disconnection" reason.
In the post-engagement interview, when confronted with a reporter's question about whether the two are in love, Diana immediately replies "of course", while Charles utters the intriguing "Then it depends on how you understand love" (
Whatever
in
love
means
.)
Although Charles obviously did not love Diana, but under the pressure of all sides, he still proposed in a hurry, and hoped to slowly cultivate feelings after marriage, but many contradictions and personality conflicts between the two completely broke out after marriage and intensified...
More importantly, there seems to be a "third person" in their marriage, which makes the young Diana like a fish in the throat, which eventually leads to a complete breakup between the two, and Diana is even more angry to directly expose Charles and the third party in front of the media, creating the biggest royal scandal at that time.
Because of the feudalism of the British royal family and the weakness of Charles, the tragedy of the lives of two people was caused, and Diana was almost directly involved in her own life.
