Princess Diana‘s Marriage To Prince Charles Was “Hell,” Said He Wasn’t Fit To Be King
The late Princess Diana didn’t shy away from describing how her marriage to Prince Charles was “hell from the start” and how she didn’t think he was fit to be King.
25 years ago, Diana went on BBC to shed light on her marriage, “There were three of us in this marriage . . . so it was a bit crowded.”

Now, more of the truth will come to light In “Diana: The Truth Behind the Interview,” which comes out on Wednesday in the U.K. Former newspaper editor Sir Max Hastings describes his encounter with the princess,
“She said I was terribly anxious for my side of this to come out. And I spent as part of a couple of hours with Diana and she put on a wonderful show. I mean, absolutely gripping stuff.”
“It became clear, first of all. How much she hated Charles. Yes, she did hate Charles. And when I said ‘were there ever happy times?’ she said ‘no, the marriage was hell from day one,’” he added.
Diana often spoke about Charles not being able to take over the British throne.
“She said that all she cared about was William’s succession to the throne. She said to me quite explicitly — ‘I don’t think Charles can do it,'” he added. “The outcome she wanted to see was for Charles to stand aside as heir to the throne and for William to occupy the throne. This was pretty dynamic stuff.”
“She asked me what I knew about a conspiracy to have her put down. I said well, ‘it sounded absolutely crazy to me.’ But she, I think, did believe this sort of stuff,” he added.
Diana died August 31, 1997, in Paris. The circumstances surrounding her death have always been questionable.
