The Hidden Truth Behind Diana’s Tears
In the 2017 documentary “Diana: In Her Own Words,” Diana’s account was disclosed. In an honest interview with biographer Andrew Morton, she revealed that her tears were not because of Charles leaving but due to a shattering discovery just hours before the airport farewell. At just 19 years old, Diana found out about Charles’s ongoing affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, which had been concealed from her for years.
She even came across a bracelet that Charles had made for Camilla, a personal gift that embodied her worst fears about her impending marriage. This revelation devastated Diana, as she realized that Charles had already made his choice and was set on continuing his relationship with Camilla, regardless of the implications.
Emotional Turmoil and Confrontations
Despite the emotional upheaval, Diana was determined to put on a brave face. She tried to stay strong even when confronted with more evidence of the affair. For instance, when invited to lunch with Camilla, the tension between them was palpable. In that uncomfortable encounter, Camilla subtly asserted her hold over Charles, leaving Diana feeling humiliated and deeply hurt.
