It has been 41 years since Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana announced their engagement in 1981. As the two posed for a series of photos at Buckingham Palace back then, a behavioral expert revealed the People's Princess seemed to have already "doubts" about her then-future husband right from the start.
The conflict in Prince Charles and Princess Diana's romance is said to be evident in their engagement photos. In fact, it seemed to hint their marriage wouldn't last long and so it seemed.
To add fuel to the fire, Express noted the Prince of Wales even said "whatever in love means" when they were asked if they were in love. So, weren't they really in love with each other?
Despite that, no one still thought they would end their marriage in divorce in 1996. Sadly, after just a year, the Princess of Wales died.
Princess Diana donned a blue suit that perfectly matched her sapphire engagement ring during their engagement photos. Sure, they were all smiles, but behavioral expert Darrent Stanton told Slingo she showed "moments of doubts" about her relationship with Prince Charles "right from the outset."
The future King was behind his then-future wife with his hand on her shoulder. However, Stanton saw that not as intimate as a happy newly-engaged couple should be.
They seemed to be quite formal, while the heir apparent didn't look overwhelmed with joy. Though they might only be reserved, an event like this should have made them feel overjoyed.
Stanton continued that Prince Charles' face looked unengaged, suggesting his smile wasn't real. Crow's feet couldn't be seen at the side of his eyes, which were a sign of true happiness and sincere emotion.
So, would fans see Prince Harry tackle this in his upcoming bombshell book? The News claimed Meghan Markle's husband would give an "inside account" of his parents' failed marriage.
Though there are different theories on what the Duke of Sussex will reveal in his book, many believe it will include surprising details about Prince Charles and Princess Diana's broken marriage. He may even expose the breakdown of their relationship.
In fact, royal correspondent Tom Skyes told Us Weekly Prince Harry might go after Camilla Parker Bowles when he speaks about his mom and dad's relationship. As the publisher is willing to pay the controversial prince $20 million, the book may contain the juiciest details about the royal family. The said book is expected to be out this year.
