Former royal correspondent and current ‘Loose Women’ panelist Jane Moore provided insight about the marriage of the former Prince and Princess of Wales.
The marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana was certainly considered as a fairytale in its early days, but multiple reasons caused it to collapse—including one part of married life the former Prince of Wales found “difficult to deal with,” according to a former royal correspondent.
Jane Moore, who is now a star on Loose Women, found herself face-to-face with Diana a number of times while working as a royal correspondent, and, per The Mirror, Moore explained the late Princess of Wales as “moody” and “mercurial.”
Moore said, “She could be quite mercurial. One minute she’d be quite chitty chitty chat chat with you, and then if there was something that happened that she didn’t like, she would be very frosty.”
“She was quite moody, I suppose, and I think that was what Charles found very difficult to suffer from, because she was a lot younger than him,” Moore continued.
It’s true because Charles was 32 when they married on July 29, 1981, and Diana had barely turned 20 years old just weeks prior.
When they married, Diana told her biographer Andrew Morton, “I remember being so in love with my husband that I couldn’t take my eyes off him. I just absolutely thought I was the luckiest girl in the world. He was going to look after me.”
The fairytale didn’t happen, and after their divorce, the parents of Prince William and Prince Harry reached a mutual understanding, historian and royal commentator Marlene Koenig said, per The Mirror.
“But they hadn’t had time to get to know each other, court each other,” she added. “They learned a lot from that mistake.”
