Details about the issues that existed in Lady Di and King Charles III’s marriage before their divorce are revealed in a new book. On November 8 of last year, following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles’ ascension to the throne, the book “The King: The Life of Charles III” was published.
The book’s author, Christopher Andersen, describes how Lady Di had numerous partners who attempted to fill the void left by her husband’s disinterest, which sent her into a severe melancholy. On the other side, it is revealed that their relationship was filled with humiliations and mistreatment on numerous occasions, and that neither love nor sexuality played any role in it.
At the royal couple’s country getaway, Highgrove House, a close royal source claimed that Diana practically pursued her husband down hallways, staircases, and from room to room in order to have sex; however, her husband had stopped wanting to have sex with her after the birth of Prince Harry in 1984.
One of the worst moments was when Charles responded to Lady Di in a nasty and dismissive manner, saying:
I don’t know dear, I think I might be gay.
A response that has outraged Lady Di’s supporters. The couple chose to separate in 1992 after having ongoing and catastrophic issues, but they did not get divorced until 1996. On August 31, 1997, just one year after the couple’s divorce, Lady Di was killed in a fatal vehicle accident in Paris.
Charles III’s life is extensively described in Andersen’s novel, including his marriage to Camilla Parker and his coronation preparations. The book has drawn criticism for focusing mostly on the connection between Charles and Lady Di, but critics have praised it for its careful research and the unique information it reveals about British royal life.
