Ingrid Seward, a renowned royal biographer, revealed that Princess Diana’s marriage to the king did not end due to his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles.

Just 368 days after their divorce was finalized on August 28, 1996, Princess Diana tragically passed away in the summer of 1997.

In a poignant conversation with Diana shortly before her death, Seward gained insights into the true reasons behind the royal couple’s split.

The union between Princess Diana and the king took place on July 29, 1981, but sadly ended in divorce four years later.

Diana met her untimely demise in a fatal car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997.

Contrary to popular belief, Diana assured Seward that Camilla played no part in the breakdown of their relationship.

Seward, who is also the editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, recounted how Diana harbored concerns about the royal family’s conduct, particularly regarding Camilla.

Despite Diana’s persistent grievances about Camilla, she confessed to Seward that the real issue lay with the people surrounding her husband, rather than Camilla herself.

Reflecting on their final conversation, Diana emphasized that the challenges of royal life demanded a level of strength and maturity that she felt inadequate to uphold in her marriage.

While the king battles an undisclosed form of cancer, Camilla has taken on the role of primary caregiver since 2024, showcasing her dedication and resilience within the royal sphere.

Seward, now 76 years old, highlighted the immense respect the queen commands within the royal family, having entered the fold at the age of 50.

She underscored the demanding nature of royal life, emphasizing that it requires a unique upbringing to navigate its complexities successfully.

The Windsors, known for their dynamic nature, have faced various trials over the years.

The late Prince Philip and the current king shared a passion for running in their youth, embodying a spirit of vigor and determination.

Seward acknowledged that while many hold Camilla in high regard, she may lack the same fervor and intensity exhibited by other members of the royal family.
