THE NEWS TRAGIC that Diana, Princess of Wales, had died in a car accident in Paris, came to us in August, four years ago, while the Americans watched her take place at Westminster Abbey, a princess, a person completely different from us all. But in the royal family, Diana was a too human parent, she loved and fought with Prince Charles, her ex-husband, and she had a complicated relationship with the Queen , her mother-in-law, looking at her alternately as a surrogate mother and an old woman who tangled to catch her.In The Queen and Di British author Ingrid Seward, which covers the royal family for 18 years, draws on its own sources to show how Diana and the Queen were close to one of the When the princess was holding a sick orphan or wearing a breathtaking dress, she warmed the public image, if not cold and sometimes even bizarre, of the royal family. The Queen, meanwhile, offered Diana a chance to regain the family life she missed – Diana's own mother had left the house, and a broken marriage, while Diana was only six years old. But the princess's psychological problems, and the rigid meaning of the Queen's protocol and property, eventually undermined their relationship. In his new book, Seward recounts the morning of August 31 when the Queen and Prince Charles learned of Diana's accident. The princess and her lover, Dodi Fayed, were trying to escape a crowd of paparazzi when their driver lost control in an underpass. Almost immediately, the news was broadcast to Balmoral, the Queen's country home in Scotland. The queen woke up in the early hours of the morning. Pulling on her old-fashioned bathrobe, she went down the hall where she met Prince Charles. The news from Paris was that Dodi Fayed was dead, but Diana had survived. Soon the whole castle stirred from his sleep. Charles took incoming calls. The Queen ordered tea, which was brought from the kitchen, and then ignored. Their first concern was to find out how bad Diana was. Initially, they were told that she had been away from the accident virtually unscathed. Then another call is passed. "Sir, I'm really sorry to have to tell you that I just have the ambassador on the phone, the princess died a short time ago. Charles's composure collapsed and the tears that the public never saw began to flow. The Queen was equally astonished. While other members of the royal family had long since abandoned Diana, Elizabeth had retained some affection for her daughter-in-law and still had sympathy for her. She recognized Diana's potential and saw her death as a terrible mess. Discover the secrets that no one knew of Princess Diana until her death. In the outpouring of grief from Diana's supporters, the royal family found themselves caught in a surprising tear of public resentment. Crowds swept through the streets of London, crying for the princess, and the palace was blamed for treating her without heart. Perhaps for the first time in her life, Queen Elizabeth had to ask: What do they want me to do? Once, I asked Diane if her marriage had been arranged, and she said with some irritation: "It's Charles and I who decided on the wedding." Not the queen. We. Nobody else. It was true, no one ordered Charles to propose or Diana to accept. However, without the approval of the Queen, no proposal would have been made. As their romance grew, almost everyone urged Charles to go ahead. The Queen herself never directly addressed the issue of her marriage, but by nuance and nuance, she specified that she approved Diana. The prince, however, was confused. "Sometimes I'm terrified at the thought of making a promise, then living to regret it," he said, the question: when she came, was a question in itself. If I had to ask, what would you say? Charles asked laughingly, Diana answered, "Yeah, okay." Charles then went out of the room to phone his mother with the news: the engagement was announced on February 24, 1981, and Diana soon settled in. the rooms of Buckingham Palace. Since Diana was born in privilege, the Queen believes that her future daughter-in-law knows what is expected of her and, as she wrote to a friend in March 1981: "J & # 39 hope Diana will find here less burden than in fact Diana had no idea what to expect and from the beginning she found the royal life an extraordinary burden: she was swimming most of the time in the palace pool, drowning in wedding projects and taking dance classes. The rest of the time, she just sat there, bored and more and more irritable. Diana started to get sick, the first signs of bulimia. Several times a day she visited the kitchen, filling a bowl with frosted flakes and Kellogg fruit, adding sugar and dipping everything in cream. Then she would go to the bathroom and get sick. His moods became more and more unpredictable, and Charles shot a large part of his fire. Why, she asked, did not he spend more time with her? It was explained that the prince had a schedule of commitments arranged months ago. It did little to pacify it. The Queen chose to ignore Diane's behavior during those early months, concluding that she needed time to settle down. Almost everyone, from the queen to the staff who looked after Diana, attributed her behavior to a bad case of "nerves". Left to struggle, Diana did it, barely. After a particularly difficult time in June 1981, as the Prince was traveling, she rushed. After a party to celebrate Prince Andrew's 21st birthday, she got in her car at 5:30 am and went from London to the family home, more than an hour away. She told her father, John Spencer, that she was canceling her engagement. He listened as Diane spread her heart, then informed her that it was probably just pressure. Once married, said her father, things would become easier. Sunday night, Diana was back at Buckingham Palace, acting as if nothing had happened. Here are other things you have never known about Princess Diana. MOST BRIDES REVEL in the first weeks of marriage. Instead, during her honeymoon cruise in the Mediterranean, Diana became violently ill with bulimia. After 15 exhausting days, which were punctuated by huge fighting, the newlyweds returned to Balmoral. The prince summoned a doctor, the first of all who would try to help. "All the analysts and psychiatrists you've always dreamed of have come to unravel me," Diana recalls. In medical terms, some people think that Diana suffered from borderline personality disorder. Symptoms include fear of abandonment, a tendency to histrionic behavior, a need for adoration and mood swings. Bulimia can be another manifestation. The queen understood Diana's difficulties, especially after she was told how painful her daughter-in-law was. For all her reserves, Elizabeth seemed to have a natural empathy with Diana. And for a while, Diana saw the Queen's support as a source of tremendous comfort. "I have the best mother-in-law in the world," she said one day. But the queen's indulgence could not bridge the gap between Diana and Charles. Diana was an exuberant city dweller barely twenty or so years old, having no experience in romance. Charles was a self-proclaimed "compatriot" and contemplative, with behind him several stories of love. The Queen hoped that the birth of Prince William in 1982 and Harry two years later would ease tensions and give Charles and Diana reason to grow together. Instead, the pressures on the couple have increased. Diana's emotional difficulties worsened and in a short time the marriage began to curdle. At this moment, Diana started calling Buckingham Palace for advice from her mother-in-law. At first the queen took a tolerant view of these unplanned visits. "Diana was generally in a better mood when she left than she was when she arrived," recalls one of the Queen's employees. With time, Elizabeth came to dread the meetings. After a session, a lackey said: "The Princess cried three times in half an hour while she was waiting to see you." The queen replied, "I had her for an hour – and she cried all the time. Diana went out looking for comfort wherever she could find him and in 1986, she had built close ties with Captain James Hewitt of the Queen's Household Cavalry. Charles also resumed a relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, a married woman that many believed to be the lover of his life. Discover the true story of what happened between Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Queen Elizabeth has been informed of these unfortunate developments. She had once compared Diana to a "nervous racehorse" who needed careful handling, not a harsh discipline. Despite the evidence, she was convinced that if Diana had the independence she claimed to need, her confidence in her would grow and she would settle down. Instead, what happened next was the publication in June 1992 of the book by Andrew Morton Diana, Her True Story . The outrageous bestseller threw Charles in the worst light and painted the image of a royal family so cold and so absorbed that she was unable to respond to the fate of a young woman which should have been in his very heart. Although she was not quoted directly, it was clear that Diana collaborated on the book. The queen was stupefied. She knew very well how unhappy her daughter-in-law was, but she never imagined Diana was going to breathe dirty laundry that way. In most families, this behavior would have meant the immediate end of the marriage. Instead, the Queen ordered a six-month cooling off period. Charles accepted. So Diana. Despite all her grievances, the princess realized what life would be like if she were driven out of the royal family. Through all this, Diana presented a captivating image of beauty and compassion. Gossip magazines might print acres of stories about the illicit arguments and cases, but Diana continued with her appointments, and the public never stopped to adore him. She also had a real sympathy for the sick and the troubled. In a royal family that desperately needed a human face, she was the only one who could kneel to comfort a sick child and give the impression that she thought it. As much as anyone, Elizabeth saw the good that Diane could do for the monarchy. However, as the princess was making her way – for example, when she was giving a TV interview and wondering if Charles had the moral character to be king – she was becoming more and more a responsibility. Charles and Diana were separated at the end of 1992; they divorced in August 1996. And barely a year later, she was dead. In the end, Diana was the only person the queen had ever learned to handle. She reacts badly to criticism – any reprimand from the queen was considered an example of the family that would gang up against her. Neither the patience, nor the silent, sharp-eyed discontent Elizabeth had learned to deploy with such wilting effect made no impression on Diana. Yet, by doing nothing and allowing Diana to ignore the conventional constraints that keep the monarchy in place, the Queen has unwittingly let the princess escape control. From today 's point of view, getting married at the Windsor House is certainly not a fairy tale; Charles, Princess Anne and Prince Andrew all had a divorce. Looking back on the litter of the broken marriages of her children, the queen would come to wonder if she had failed in her duty as a mother. Or, as she has already asked a lady waiting, "Where are we cheated?" Then learn the fascinating facts – and some scandals! – about Queen Elizabeth. * Adapted from "The Queen and Di: the unpublished story". Copyright 2000 by Ingrid Seward.
