Diana's final words on Charles: 'He was the one'
25 Sep
Summary
- Princess Diana expressed deep love for Prince Charles before her death.
- She believed they could have succeeded if they met at a different time.
- Diana and Kate share parallels as fashion icons and charitable figures.
Princess Diana confided in royal author Ingrid Seward that she "really loved Charles" and considered him "the one that got away." Seward shared these intimate details at a live recording of HELLO!'s A Right Royal Podcast. Diana reportedly believed that if she and the then-Prince Charles had met when they were older, they might have succeeded and "conquered the world."
Seward also addressed claims from Earl Spencer's memoir regarding Prince Charles's reaction to Diana's death. She suggested the controversial comment was taken out of context during a heated exchange about the funeral arrangements, with Prince Charles concerned about Diana's lasting image.
The royal author further drew parallels between Diana and Catherine, the Princess of Wales. Both women are described as fashion icons and celebrated for their ability to connect with children and champion significant causes, transforming the role of royalty.
