CHARLES & DIANA - Their PROMISE TO EACH OTHER

|August 19, 2024

Diana and Charles endured one of the 1990s most acrimonious divorces, but they both separately acknowledged that their 1981 marriage began in love. “There was a period of great love between them,” says royal biographer Ingrid Seward. “And she wanted the boys [Prince William and Prince Harry] to know that.”
