Almost a quarter of a century after her death, Lady Di has retained a special place in the hearts of Britons, and indeed the world. But the same cannot really be said for Prince Charles, her ex-husband and father of their two children, William and Harry.

And especially those concerning the undersides of his union with the heir to the throne of England. Eating disorders, scarification, suicide attempts … we now know that Diana Spencer was at its worst during her years at Buckingham Palace.

Very harsh words that are unlikely to restore the already unflattering image that the British have of the future sovereign, now married to his then mistress, Camilla Parker-Bowles.
