Princess Diana: her own words about the disease | Swedish lady

The television series The Crown, whose plot and characters are based on the British royal family, is back with a new season on Netflix and has brought old conflicts to the surface. The first season began with the wedding between Elizabeth and Prince Philip and now we are in a slightly later part of the story, and Diana Spencer entered the box for the first time, played by actress Emma Corrin.

One of the future princess’s personal battles illustrated in the series is against the eating disorder, which Diana says began a week after she and Charles got engaged when he commented on her character, writes The Mirror.

Princess Diana has her own words

Diana herself has spoken of the fight and her words are recorded on tape from conversations with author Andrew Morton, words that later became the basis of Diana’s biography. But what Diana had said about eating disorders wasn’t known until 2017 when Andrew Morton announced the recordings to the public.

Diana talks about a devastating life with a partner who made her feel inadequate, and the affair with Camilla Bowles that went on for a long time didn’t help.

Bulimin started a week after we got engaged. My husband put his hand on my waist and said “Wow, a little chubby here right?” and it triggered something in me. “Princess Diana says on the tapes.

“And about Camilla, I was desperate. Desperate.”

“I remember the first time I forced myself to vomit. I was so happy because it felt like a relief from so much tension.”

Bulimin caused Diana to lose weight in the lead up to the wedding and the seamstresses who worked on her wedding dress had to make it smaller all the time.

“The first time I used my measurements for the wedding dress I was 73 cm waist, on my wedding day it was 60 cm. I had been reduced to nothing between February and July. “Diana says in the recording.

It is, to say the least, a crushing image now shown in the series, of a life that we all know ended in tragedy.
