Princess Diana’s naughty letters sold at auction – it reveals a side of her we haven’t seen before
Princess Diana was a rare and compassionate figure who touched millions with her warmth and humanity. Behind the public admiration, however, her personal life was marked by deep pain. When she became engaged to Prince Charles in 1981, the world celebrated what seemed like a fairytale union. Yet cracks appeared early, most notably during their engagement interview when Charles responded ambiguously to a question about love—an answer Diana later said deeply traumatized her.
The marriage deteriorated long before Charles’s well-known affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, whom he had loved even before meeting Diana. Diana eventually confronted Camilla and, in 1995, bravely shared her truth in a landmark BBC interview, declaring, “There were three of us in this marriage.” The couple divorced in 1996 after years of emotional turmoil.
Recently revealed letters show how devastated Diana was during this period, describing intense pressure, lack of royal support, and profound loneliness. Her tragic death in 1997 cut short a life shaped by both extraordinary compassion and immense suffering.
