Here’s why Princess Diana and King Charles ‘cried together’ on the day of their divorce.
It is one of the most well-documented divorces of the 20th century and yet, 23 years later we are still learning new things about the Prince of Wales and Lady Diana’s infamous separation.
A new Channel 5 documentary claims that the late Lady Di and Charles, 70, both cried together on the day they signed their divorce papers.
Ingrid Seward, the editor of Royalty Magazine, reveals the information half-way through the documentary.
‘Diana did tell me something quite interesting,’ she says. ‘She said that on the day of the divorce, she and Charles sat down together on the sofa and they both cried,’ she goes on.
‘It was this crazy separation, but by the time the divorce was finalised, they were on much better terms.’
This leads to believe Charles and Diana ended things on much better terms then previously thought.
Prince Charles and Lady Diana’s divorce was officially finalised on 24 August 1996, after a very public fall out.
It claims that Lady Diana felt threatened early on by Camilla, now Duchess of Cornwall and Charles’ new wife.
In the wake of their engagement, Diana already suspected that something was going on between her groom-to-be and his former flame.
‘At the time of the marriage, Charles was not seeing Camilla, but Diana was convinced he was,’ said Seward, ‘and then her worst fears came true.’
The documentary recounts that Diana intercepted a package from Charles to Camilla, which contained a bracelet engraved with the initials ‘F’ and ‘G,’ for ‘Fred’ and Gladys’, Charles and Camilla’s nicknames for each other.
