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 this can be 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 obtained worse. According to the e book, their fights towards the tip 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 really broke up with Camilla Parker-Bowles. Diana famously stated 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 means…

In his e book, out November 8, Andersen claims a former valet of the royal couple recounted a vicious combat — although a somewhat one-sided one. As a lot as Diana’s mood was operating 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 achieved along with her? Like she was a receptacle for his royal seed? No surprise she was livid!
The valet remembers 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 chortle. 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 at least one one other, stated a bodyguard, that “violence seemed inevitable.” In reality, the officers started to get anxious concerning the “sheer firepower” inside the partitions of Highgrove House. The residence was dwelling to varied weapons, presumably for searching 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 reality they have been anxious a couple of potential murder is chilling given the conspiracy theories surrounding Diana’s demise only a 12 months after their divorce…
