Prince Charles married Diane Spencer because of a misunderstanding with his father

On the eve of the release of a new biography of the main heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, some details of the marriage of Elizabeth II's son to Diane Spencer became known. Biographer Sally Smith says that this doomed marriage, unwittingly, was arranged by Charles's father Prince Philip.

Expected premiere

A few weeks later, a book will appear in stores, which promises to become a bestseller of the coming spring. Lovers of personal life of royal persons will be able to learn about the new secrets of Buckingham Palace from the book of Sally Smith "Passions and paradoxes of the incredible life of the heir to the throne," which describes the biography of the prince.

While readers eagerly await the scandalous details of the life-being of the eldest son of the queen, a curious story of his marriage to Diana Spencer appeared in the press.

Marriage involuntarily

As it turned out, the wedding of Charles and Diana happened because of the misunderstanding and the softness of the prince. When the two started dating, Miss Spencer was only 19 years old. The young girlfriend, who had blue blood in her veins, liked Charles, but he considered their romance a pleasant intrigue, because his heart was occupied by Camilla Parker-Bowles.

Rumors of his son's negligent behavior reached Prince Philip, who wrote an angry letter to the offspring, saying that he defamed the girl's name and compromised her.

The father in a rude form allegedly asked Charles to come to his senses and rectify the situation. Cousin Prince Pamela Hicks confirmed the fact of the letter, saying that Charles saw in his father's words an order to marry and did not dare disobey.
