According to Daily Mail, a secret tape of the late Princess Diana revealed that her wedding with Prince Charles was not as rosy as it seemed. It had turned bitter soon after their wedding, which made her depressed and led her to make a suicide attempt.
As per Daily Mail, Princess Diana was devastated when Prince Charles rekindled his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles in 1991. She recorded her side of story and left it for author Andrew Morton via an intermediary.
In 1992, Andrew wrote a book titled ‘Diana: Her True Story – In Her Own Words’ revealing the details of what Diana had recorded. The book has now been republished and contains transcripts of those tapes.
One of the transcripts reads: “We got married on Wednesday. On Monday (July 27, 1981), we had gone to St Paul’s for our last rehearsal, and that’s when the camera lights were on full and I got a sense of what the day was going to be. And I sobbed my eyes out. I absolutely collapsed and it was because of all sorts of things. The Camilla thing rearing its head the whole way through our engagement. I was desperately trying to be mature about the situation, but I didn’t have the foundations to do it, and I couldn’t talk to anyone about it.”
Princess Diana has also mentioned that she had spotted Camilla, while walking down the aisle on her wedding day, and was filled with anxiety.
She revealed in the tapes that she had suffered “appalling dreams”. “At night, I dreamt of Camilla the whole time. I was obsessed by Camilla totally. I didn’t trust (Charles) – thought every five minutes he was ringing her up, asking how to handle his marriage.” “I was so depressed, and I was trying to cut my wrists with razor blades,” she said.
The Princess of Wales always remained in the limelight since her marriage with Prince Charles, till a tragic road accident took her life.
