It wasn’t Camilla: Princess Diana revealed who really ruined her marriage to Charles, and named names

For decades, the world believed Camilla Parker Bowles was the primary cause of Princess Diana and King Charles's failing marriage.

However, just before her tragic death, Princess Diana revealed a surprising truth to someone close to her, and that moment has finally resurfaced now.

What did Princess Diana reveal shortly before her death?

The marriage of Princess Diana and King Charles has been extensively covered, including the fact that both royals had extramarital affairs while they were together. Princess Diana and Prince Charles had a relationship that was far from romantic from the very start.


Shortly before her death in 1997, Diana actually talked about the person she blamed for her failed marriage to Charles, according to a royal expert who was close to the former Princess of Wales, as per a report by Marie Claire.

Who did she really blame for the marriage breakdown?

Princess Diana reportedly told royal expert Ingrid Seward before her death that Queen Camilla was not to blame for the breakdown of her marriage to King Charles.

Instead, she pointed to individuals in King Charles' inner circle. The revelation adds new layers to the long-standing story about their very public royal split.

According to royal expert and author Ingrid Seward, who appeared on Hello!'s "A Right Royal Podcast," "She told me right before she passed away that it wasn't Camilla." "It wasn't Camilla that ruined our marriage, it was the people around Charles," as per a report by Marie Claire.

The royal expert asserted that she was never able to fully figure out what that comment meant. However, she also recalled Diana's father mentioning the complexity of the royal household.

During their marriage, Charles and Diana both openly accepted having extramarital affairs. In his own TV interview, King Charles talked about his adulterous affair with Queen Camilla, while Diana acknowledged her affair with horseback riding instructor James Hewitt in her Panorama interview, as per a report by Marie Claire.

Does King Charles regret how things ended?

Rebecca English, the royal editor of the Daily Mail, interviewed several of King Charles's closest friends earlier this year, and they implied that the king did regret his previous actions.

In the article, English wrote of The King, "Charles still deeply 'regrets' the pain and sadness caused."

Another friend of Charles's talked about The King's marriage to Diana and said it seems cruel to ask someone to give up their happiness for the sake of their public image.

Both of them, King Charles and Princess Diana, behaved badly in that first marriage and made decisions that none of us could ever condone," one insider said.
