Breaking News: Prince Charles Found This Aspect of His Marriage to Princess Diana “Very Difficult to Cope With…..Read More

Former royal correspondent and current ‘Loose Women’ panelist Jane Moore gave insight into the doomed marriage of the former Prince and Princess of Wales.

The marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana certainly looked like a fairytale in its early days, but multiple factors caused it to collapse—including one part of married life the former Prince of Wales found “difficult to cope with,” according to a former royal correspondent.

Jane Moore, who is now a star on Loose Women, found herself face-to-face with Diana a number of times while working as a royal correspondent, and, per The Mirror, Moore described the late Princess of Wales as “moody” and “mercurial.”

While chatting with her fellow panelists on a recent episode of Loose Women, Moore said, “She could be quite mercurial. One minute she’d be quite chitty chitty chat chat with you, and then if there was something that happened that she didn’t like, she would be very frosty.”

It’s true—Charles was 32 when they married on July 29, 1981, and Diana had barely turned 20 years old just weeks prior. Add to it that he was, you know, in love with someone else (a certain Camilla Parker Bowles, who was even at their wedding at St. Paul’s Cathedral), that they were engulfed in the royal fishbowl (difficult for anyone to navigate), and that they were just two entirely different people, and it’s easy to see how the marriage crumbled. The couple separated in 1992 after 11 years of marriage and finalized their divorce four years later on August 28, 1996, just 368 days before Diana’s untimely death in a Paris car accident at just 36 years old.

The fairytale wasn’t what it seemed, and after their divorce, the parents of Prince William and Prince Harry reached a mutual understanding, historian and royal commentator Marlene Koenig said, per The Mirror.

I think she was aware that Camilla was the one, and she wasn’t,” Koenig said. She added, “Diana told a reporter—and I remember this—after this she wished she could have made their love letters public, because she knew Charles loved her in the beginning. But it was never meant to be. It was an arranged marriage.”
