EXCLUSIVE: How Prince Charles wept over Camilla on the eve of wedding to Diana, was beaten by the princess when he knelt to pray and was so skittish he took his own food when visiting friends: The prince's less-than-fairytale life chronicled in new book
New York Times bestselling author Sally Bedell Smith chronicles the life of the heir to the throne in her new book
Smith describes how the prince's parents was cold, but his Great Uncle Lord Louis ‘Dickie’ Mountbatten taught him about love and women
When Charles met Camilla he was head over heels, but he was forced to marry virginal Diana after receiving a letter from his father Prince Phillip
During their rows at Kensington Palace Diana used to taunt Charles that he would ‘never be king’, knowing it caused him deep consternation
Diana resented anything to do with his previous life including his beloved yellow Lab, Harvey, who was banished to live with an advisor
Charles has the same breakfast every day, specially mixed wheat germ and cereal grains, honey and preserves on a silver tray and tea
He would bring his own food and chef to cook his meals even if he was attending an event at a friend’s house

Personally, I think it's time to call a halt on any more books like this. Can there be anything new to come out of this sad story?
By the way, does anyone else remember the equally disastrous marriage in the early 1970s of the then Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau and his much younger wife, Margaret? She led him a merry dance, to put it mildly.
The current P M is their son Justin.

To begin with I hardly think Charles knelt by the bed and said prayers at night !!!!

I feel that it's time to leave all the bad things that happened in the past and concentrate on the happier times that there were as well; something that I try to do with events in my own life too.

Yes extremely well. Margaret was many years Pierre Trudeau's junior and came from a wealthy Vancouver family. She suffered from mental health issues and isn't shy about discussing them now. She spoke about them here: http://news.nationalpost.com/news/world/i-no-longer-had-the-ability-to-reason-margaret-trudeau-talks-about-life-before-mental-health-diagnosis
She's very well supported now and has her bipolar disorder treated and maintained. Her son Justin has also spoken publicly about his mother's disorder and is a strong advocate for mental health policies.

I`m not a royalist but that charming little drama is in such bad taste, whether it`s true or not. I wonder which bright spark thought of that - just shows the types you`ve got working at the BBC. The media just seem in competition these days as to who can screen the most lurid, the most violent and the most shocking dramas - it`s a slippery slope.

Diana's anniversary has started really early for supposed scoops that we've heard many times before.

Re: Princess Diana - then and now
I`ve seen these recordings before, but can`t remember where. It`s nothing new.
Anyway IMO it`s good that the public have an insight into what she had to go through.
P.S. It was NBC in America.

This programme with William and Harry should be more pleasant to watch.

Re: Princess Diana - then and now
I could not see anything in the programme that was so awful that it was worth all the fuss over showing it, it just showed her as she was, a baby who got married to a dream, and was badly let down by the older man who did not, ever, appear to love her.
If she had not been so young his famous reaction to the question about being in love would have (possibly) alerted her, when he asks "whatever being in love is".
For all her faults, she genuinely wanted to love him, and she was a good mother to her sons. She did her best to be what everyone else wanted her to be, but ultimately, was doomed to fail, she needed to be married to an older man who adored her.

Re: Princess Diana - then and now
I don`t believe she wanted to be adored - just cared for. She always had an independent streak and was able to do her own thing (Moon in Aquarius) but her main need was to have a proper family life, to care and be cared for (Sun in Cancer).
