Princess Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles has been the subject of countless books and magazine articles for four decades. Even more than twenty years after her death, the discussion about the tumultuous relationship continues. One royal biographer claims that Diana wanted to ‘prove’ that Charles loved her, despite his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles.
Princess Diana did not take her relationship with Prince Charles seriously at first
It’s no secret that Prince Charles has been in love with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall for years. They met before Charles Diana, and her love affair continued throughout his marriage to the People’s Princess.
According to Express, Charles was when Diana first met an attraction, but he gave her the quiet treatment after they started spending time together.

In a recording with royal biographer Andrew Morton, Diana told a story from her early days with the Prince of Wales. She said Charles invited her to spend a few nights at Petworth, where he stayed.
Princess Diana said that Charles’ was all about me, and it was very strange. The next minute he practically jumped on me, and I thought this was very strange too. ”
When Charles proposed not long after, Diana says she laughed because she did not think he was serious.
Charles gave Diana the silent treatment during her engagement
Just two days after Charles proposed, Diana traveled with her mother to Australia. She explained that the purpose of the trip was to “arrange” and prepare her for her wedding.
However, during the three weeks she was in Australia and away from Prince Charles, he never mentioned her.
“I pinned him for him, but he never wrote me down,” Diana told Morton. “I thought that was very strange, and when I ran him, he was out, and he never touched me back.”

As heir to the throne, Diana knew that Prince Charles was a busy man. But still, she had the feeling that something was not right. Diana explained that at the age of 19, she was “too immature to understand all the messages in my path.”
Diana notes that she wanted to cancel her engagement, but she never did. She also revealed that Charles’ relationship with Camilla was something she often fought over.
Princess Diana wanted to prove that Prince Charles loved her
Charles and Diana were married for 15 years and welcomed two children – Prince William and Prince Harry – before finalizing their divorce in 1996. In his 1994 book Prince of Wales: A Biography, writer Jonathan Dimbleby claimed that Charles proposed to Diana because his father, Prince Philip, gave him an ultimatum.
Diana was extremely shocked by the suggestion that her father-in-law forced Charles to marry her, and Piers Morgan says it pushed Diana into a final ‘act of despair’.

According to Express, Morgan revealed that someone from the palace had contacted him to let him know that the Princess of Wales would be in order with certain images that were published that were previously thought to be ‘introductory’.
Morgan asked why Princess Diana would have no argument if he published the photos. When she replied, “Because they prove he loved me.”
“It’s extraordinary that she would do this, but also an indication of how hurt she is by this particular revelation,” Morgan said.
