This new biography of King Charles isn’t pulling any punches!
We knew the connection between the then-Prince of Wales and Princess Diana was problematic, however it is a new one on us! According to royal biographer Christopher Andersen‘s explosive new e book The King: The Life of Charles III, the couple outright loathed each other. He writes:
“Consumed by anger and frustration, both bride and groom separately cried themselves to sleep the night before the wedding.”
And issues solely received worse. According to the e book, their fights towards the top have been so “highly combustible” that royal safety officers have been afraid of actual violence following. One change particularly has our jaws on the ground.
Obviously it’s entered into royal legend by now that Charles by no means truly broke up with Camilla Parker-Bowles. Diana famously mentioned there have been “three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.” And the long run King’s secret cellphone calls to Camilla, effectively… these are unforgettable in their very own approach…

In his e book, out November 8, Andersen claims a former valet of the royal couple recounted a vicious combat — although a moderately one-sided one. As a lot as Diana’s mood was working sizzling, Charles was ice chilly — frigid, one would possibly say. Because this valet claims the topic was his refusal to sleep together with his spouse. Yes, Andersen writes that Charles “had for all intents and purposes unilaterally called a halt to their sexual relationship” after the conception of Prince Harry.
Wait, so as soon as he had produced an inheritor and a spare, he was carried out along with her? Like she was a receptacle for his royal seed? No marvel she was livid!
The valet recollects a time Diana “literally pursued” Charles “down hallways, up staircases and from room to room,” all of the whereas “hurling epithets and mocking her husband’s obsession with the dreary-looking Camilla.” Ouch, proper?
But it was Charles who had the final snicker. When Diana demanded, “Why won’t you sleep with me?” her husband caustically spat again:
“I don’t know, dear. I think I might be gay.”
Oof. He needs.
But it wasn’t simply Diana who might get upset. Andersen writes about one other time when Charles demanded the respect “that he felt his position warranted,” demanding: “Do you know who I am?”
“Diana answered that he was a ‘f**king animal.’”
He provides that she shouted:
“You will never be King! William will succeed your mother. I will see to that.”
Whoa. They have been so savage to 1 one other, mentioned a bodyguard, that “violence seemed inevitable.” In truth, the officers started to get fearful concerning the “sheer firepower” throughout the partitions of Highgrove House. The residence was residence to varied weapons, presumably for looking and sport, together with shotguns, rifles, and pistols. Andersen notes:
“The detectives in charge of protecting members of the royal family were deeply concerned that ‘in the heat of anger,’ any one of these could be used to commit suicide, homicide or both.”
Wow. The truth they have been fearful a couple of potential murder is chilling given the conspiracy theories surrounding Diana’s dying only a 12 months after their divorce…
