Here's the real reason Charles and Diana's marriage went sour

A Balmoral insider has revealed the moment Prince Charles and Princess Diana's marriage began to deteriorate, shortly after their 1981 wedding.

The difference in temperament between Charles Diana According to royal author Tom Quinn's book "Yes, Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants," Princess Diana was not a fan of the Scottish palace, bored with rural activities like hunting, despite being raised in an aristocratic family that loved such sports.

While Prince Charles was an avid hunter and was passionate about the royal traditions associated with it, Diana did not share this enthusiasm.

The current king enjoyed chasing foxes from a young age, and considered it an important part of his royal identity.

But the late princess did not find herself in this atmosphere, which led to the early exacerbation of the differences between them.

One source revealed that these differences were the real reason behind the deterioration of their relationship, and not as was rumored that the main reason was Charles' relationship with Camilla.

The source said: “I think this was the beginning of the deterioration of their relationship, and not as people were saying that the reason was the prince’s relationship with another woman!”

Funny situations and unexpected jokes Over time, Diana's boredom became apparent as she joined her husband in his favorite activities.

Once, when she was accompanying him on a fishing trip, she got tired of the long discussions about what kind of bait was appropriate, and when everyone had calmed down for a moment, she said jokingly, “Honey, wouldn’t it be easier to just use a net?”

A seemingly happy, but actually tense honeymoon. Diana's personal letters reveal that she described the honeymoon as a "huge success", but in reality she was hiding feelings of disappointment.

While Charles enjoyed swimming, reading, painting, and writing thank-you notes, Diana expected to spend more time in conversation and shared activities.

In her book The Duchess, author Penny Junor explained that Charles had hoped Diana would share his interest in books, and had imagined discussing the writings of philosopher Laurence van der Post with her, but was surprised by her lack of interest. She added: “Diana was not a good reader, and she hated his gloomy books and was offended that he preferred to read them rather than sit and talk to her.”

Once, while Charles was painting on the deck of the yacht Britannia, he left his painting for a while, and when he returned, he discovered that Diana had ruined the painting and the materials he was using, in a clear sign of her displeasure.

Did Charles consider annulling the marriage? According to royal writer Robert Jobson, Prince Charles was experiencing intense internal conflict before his wedding, realizing that his relationship with Diana was incompatible, but feeling he could not back down because canceling the wedding would have been disastrous for the royal family.

King Charles: moody despite good treatment In Tom Quinn’s latest book, insiders reveal that King Charles has small temper tantrums despite treating his staff well. They explain that he can lose his temper in a heartbeat if his requests are not carried out precisely. Despite this, he and Queen Camilla are known for treating their staff well. Despite the decades since Charles and Diana were married, the details of their relationship remain intriguing.

It is clear that the huge differences in their personalities and lifestyles played a major role in the collapse of the marriage, even before other problems such as his relationship with Camilla arose.
