Show Notes
Hugo Vickers unveils the truth about Charles and Dianas marriage in his new Queen Elizabeth bio. Despite their July 1981 wedding, doubts persisted, with Charles questioning love growth and Diana breaking down at Ascot. Camillas presence was always felt, but Dianas affair with bodyguard Barry Mannakee, starting around Harrys birth, was the real game-changer. Mannakees involvement led Charles to declare the marriage irretrievably broken, as admitted in his 1994 interview. Dianas bulimia and tantrums escalated, pushing Charles back to Camilla. While Camilla was seen as the third wheel, Vickers reveals Mannakee as the true catalyst. Royals like Prince Philip saw through Dianas drama, but her antics wore everyone down. Dianas side was exposed in Andrew Mortons 1992 book, leading to separation in December 1992, Panorama interview in 1995, and final divorce in August 1996. Vickers shows how these events led to Dianas link with Dodi Fayed and her tragic Paris crash in 1997, with the royals maintaining composure amid global grief.
