Princess Diana, the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry, did not have any chance to be happy or to feel like she belonged in the royal family. Despite her fairytale wedding to Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, Princess Diana's marriage was in crumbles, and her life was hardly an ideal one.
Royal fans discussed Princess Diana's fate in Quora, where many users felt that the Princess of Wales was doomed in the royal family from the very beginning. One participant said in the discussion that since her marriage to Prince Charles was orchestrated, badly at that, she wanted out of the family, especially after learning her husband was in love with another woman.
Princess Diana once apparently said she felt like a lamb in a slaughterhouse within the palace halls. She also did not get help from the royal family and instead had to rely on her "inattentive husband" to teach her how to perform her royal duties. They also apparently did not help her see a therapist when she suffered depression.
Another royal fan shared that the royal family thought Princess Diana was prepared for her role as the better half of the heir to the throne. Yet, she was hardly an adult when she got married to Prince Charles, and he also did not have the chance to get to know the woman she would marry as they were both pressured to fulfill obligations.
In his 20s, Prince Charles wanted to marry Camilla Shand, now the Duchess of Cornwall and his second wife. However, because she not seen as a "suitable match" for the heir to the throne, some members of the royal family took matters into their hands and meddled in Prince Charles' romantic life.
At that time, Camilla was also in an on-and-off relationship with Andrew Parker Bowles, who would become her first husband. The royals also made sure that Prince Charles would forget about his feelings for Camilla by deploying him off the sea in the Royal Navy and then later marrying him off to his virgin bridge, Princess Diana.
However, between the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, Princess Diana, Prince Charles, and Camilla would figure the headlines of a royal scandal until Queen Elizabeth ordered her son to get a divorce. In 1996, Princess Diana and Prince Charles would be single again, and a year later, she would die in a tragic car accident in France.
