Queen Elizabeth II refers to 1992 as an “Annus Horribilis,” a latin phrase meaning a horrible year. It was a year that three royal marriages collapsed, a fire destroyed more than a hundred rooms in Windsor castle and an extremely heated scandal involving Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, spooked Britain and the monarchy. It was the first time the Royal Family had been seen in such an intimate, yet intrusive way. With tension rising between the Queen and the media, the royals were unwillingly thrust into the spotlight. In a nutshell, the queen desired compassion and fairer coverage in a year which she felt had allowed her neither. 1992 was most certainly a horrible year, only amplified by the scrutiny of the press. The monarchy has evolved over 1,000 years. It has had all sorts of circumstances running against it, but it has survived.

Sadly Diana hadn't had a good parent child relationship. All she knew of Love came from her Grandmother's books. Life in books never mirror's the real thing.
It was very sad that Charles was not allowed to marry the girl he loved in the first place. It is a love that has endured. M

Camilla was given a downvote for marrying Charles years before Diana. It was said that Camilla and Andrew PB had an open marriage. This didn’t help C&D’s marriage. I read that Camilla lived with a boyfriend years before marrying Andrew PB. She married APB AFTER B. Palace declined to sanction a marriage between her and Charles.

Their marriage was brokered for heirs. And none of it helped her bulimia. 💔Having Camilla lurking around in the background didn’t help. Camilla was moving in for the ‘kill’ with their marriage. Camilla had a Devil May Care attitude.

I don't remember, if I ever knew, who was the owner of the tape recorder with which Charles and Camilla were recorded? Who taped the 'tampon' conversation?

Diana's media manipulation, the "Squidy Tapes" of her with James Gilbey are forgotten somehow. This poor Diana narrative is ridiculous.
