King Charles III and the late Princess Diana went through a lot during their marriage. Ultimately, the pair divorced in August 1996 to live calmer lives. However, the tragic accident that took Diana’s life was a complete shock to the Monarch of the United Kingdom.
The then-Princess of Wales passed away on August 31, 1997. At the time, the 36-year-old perished in a car crash during a persecution by paparazzi in Paris. The royal author, Christopher Andersen who wrote, “The Day Diana Died,” told Fox New Digital about King Charles III’s moment when he learned the Princess died.
“When he was first told over the phone that Diana had died, Charles, according to an eyewitness, howled like a wounded animal. Later, after he rushed from Balmoral Castle in Scotland to Paris to bring her back to England, Charles nearly passed out when he first viewed her body. He was devastated by Diana’s death, perhaps to a degree that surprised even him.”
Andersen’s statements rely on the former Prince Charles’ letter written to his friend, which was sold at auction for $2,000. King Charles III detailed the “unbearable emptiness” he felt four months after Princess Diana passed away. The unfortunate situation might be a great regret for the King, particularly during this 27th death anniversary.
