They Later Separated
Since separating in 1992, the royal pair divorced in 1996. Worse, Diana had become steadily distant due to the separation, with confidants becoming challenging to retain. A Daily Mail journalist, for example, reported that she had just five close friends at the time of her death. Diana’s romantic life thrived long after her marriage to Charles ended, which was a blessing in disguise.
Her Flings
And it’s been said that the young and lovely princess attracted a slew of suitors. She had affairs with men, including bodyguard Paul Manakee and cavalryman James Hewitt when she was married. According to reports, she was also pressured to end a friendship with a car dealer called James Gilbey after recordings of him labeling her “Squidgy” surfaced. As one would imagine, the press flocked to that specific story.
