Princess Diana was maybe the only person that was more popular, better liked, and more important than Queen Elizabeth during her time. She was well-liked by the broad public and she was globally renowned.
The Queen saw a great companion for her son and a worthy possible successor. She was young, beautiful, and exceptionally smart. However, sooner than later the marriage between her and Charles shook up and they decided to separate. Charles and Diana married back in 1981, just to separate 11 years later and divorce after 4. They divorced in 1996, just a year before Princess Diana’s tragic death.
What Relationship Did Queen Elizabeth II Have With Princess Diana? – Are The Conspiracies Behind Her Death True?
Princess Diana knew the Queen for a long time. Ever since she was a little girl. The Royal family had a good relationship with the Spencers for a long time. In fact, long before Diana was in her marrying years.
Diana’s father was an equerry to the Queen and both her grandmothers were ladies-in-waiting to the Queen.
Princess Diana lived in Park House for a long period of time. From her childhood and until she married the Prince. Princess Diana’s family lived on the Royal family’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk. Her family often hosted the royal family in their house. It wasn’t rare that Diana played with Charles’s brothers Andrew and Edward.
From the above text, you can get a notion that Prince Charlie and Princess Diana knew each other and you’d naturally guess that they socialized, however that is not the case. Due to the age gap, Charles did not socialize with Diana. Instead, they were officially introduced to each other back in 1977, when the Prince dated Diana’s older sister.
At the time Prince Charles was dating Princes Diana’s older sister, Sarah. Prince Charles got a ‘closer look’ at Diana once they attended a goose hunt together. She was 16 years old at the time. Prince Charles was amazed by Diana and her positive character and beautiful looks. So amazed actually that it was then and there that he made up his mind that she is to be his wife.
Naturally, both the Royal family and the Spencers encouraged the relationship to happen. However, it didn’t until a few years later. That moment came when Prince Charles turned 32 and was pressured more and more to find himself a suitable match. Diana ticked all the boxes on the list. She was young, beautiful, a virgin, and a smart individual that could’ve produced quality offspring for the royals.
Everything happened quickly. The Prince went on just 13 dates with Princess Diana before proposing to her. King Philip, Charles’s father pressured him into rushing things up, as time was catching up on him.
The Royal wedding was a fairytale-like celebration. However, in a short time, the public witnessed clues that the marriage is not as ‘ideal’ as portrayed in newsletters. Diana seemed to have little to none in common with Prince Charles, or his family. Arguing and not getting along became an everyday thing for the royal couple. They went into heated arguments every chance they got.
Employees and servants in the palace revealed that when such arguing happened Diana did not hesitate to rush to the Queen for guidance in solving the issue. But they were two different women.
Queen Elizabeth II used to be a strict and professional woman, dedicated to work and service for the kingdom. She was very stoic, even with her son, and other close members of her family. Diana was seeking some emotional support and a person she can rely on. However, the Queen was unable to provide that to her. Naturally, as the relationship between Princess Diana and Charles worsened, the Queen seemed to distance from her as well.
Both Prince Charles and Princess Diana wanted to better their marriage and worked on it for a long time. However, things did not start getting better. Quite on the contrary, as time passed Diana started putting Charles in her shadow. She became beloved by the nation. They liked her far more than they like Charles. She gained so much popularity that she put even the Queen in shadow.
After the birth of Diana’s two sons, William and Henry, both Diana and Charles had extramarital affairs. The situation was not getting any better for Diana, or the Royal family.
Finally, after much anticipation, the Queen allowed the marriage to end. The divorce came in 1992, but the aftermath lasted until Princess Diana died in 1997.
In 1995 both Diana and Prince Charles started appearing on TV spilling secrets of their private life. On one occasion, Diana appeared in a television interview with Martin Bashir. She told that she had little, to no help from the Royal family during her marriage to Prince Charles.
Queen Elizabeth suggested that after 4 years Charles and Diana should finalize the divorce. The Queen showed nobility and good-heartedness by suggesting that Diana should retain her Royal Highness title. It is Prince Charles who refused it and stripped Diana from the Royal title.
Exactly one year after the divorce, Princess Diana lost her life in a car accident that happened in Paris. The Queen received criticism for being noncompassionate and uncaring as until the funeral, she hadn’t released a statement on her ex-daughter-in-law’s death.
At the funeral, Queen Elizabeth II delivered a heartfelt speech. She praised the late Diana and tried to show her in the best light. She went further and broke the tradition allowing the flag at Buckingham palace to fly halfway on the day of the funeral. The Queen attended the funeral and even bowed to Diana’s coffin.
“There has been so much written incorrectly about the Queen. Being a bit of a dictator, demanding Diana behave a certain way…” – Victoria Arbiter told the Independent. “Diana and the Queen shared a warm relationship. The Queen found emotional problems difficult – that’s her generation.”
Queen Elizabeth II was aware of the publicity and the attention that Diana had amongst the people in the UK. On several occasions, she stepped into Diana’s defense when she thought needed. Once she asked for a meeting with newspaper editors to ask them to stop following Diana. She ordered the journalists to lay off and leave Diana alone.
“The meeting further galvanized the press.” – according to Arbiter. “The Queen certainly gave Diana support behind the scenes. She felt very fondly towards Diana, whom she had known since she was a little girl. Diana had tremendous respect for the monarchy and, by extension, the Queen.”
On the other side, there have been numerous conspiracy theories surrounding Princess Diana’s death. All of them are surrounding the fact that Diana’s death was not an accident, but a carefully planned murder. Most of the conspiracies involve the Royals as potential orderers of the murder.
The investigation behind the ‘accident’ was very shallow and did not include numerous key factors. There have been various false statements by officials during the investigation that additionally fueled the conspiracies. All of this piled up and started pointing at only one certain thing. The world started conspiring that the accident was not an accident, but a well-planned murder.
Until this day, more than 25 years after Diana’s death, the mystery surrounding it has not been taken away.
One of the most ‘eye-catching’ conspiracies is that Diana knew that someone’s going to kill her. The confirmation of this conspiracy is the handwritten letter that Diana gave to her butler, Paul Burrell. She gave him the letter for safekeeping in case a sudden death happens to her.
“I am sitting here at my desk today in October. I am longing for someone to hug me and encourage me to keep strong and hold my head high. This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous. X is planning ‘an accident’ in my car, brake failure, and serious head injury. All that, in order to make the path clear for Charles to marry.” – Diana wrote in the letter. “I have been battered, bruised, and abused mentally by a system for 15 years now, but I feel no resentment … I am strong inside and maybe that is a problem for my enemies. Thank you Charles for putting me through such hell. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn from the cruel things you have done to me.”
The X person in Diana’s letter is a security officer. She points him out with his full name and surname. However, when publishing the letter, the newsletters decided for his identity to remain hidden.
The letter looks so intense, powerful, and spine-chillingly true. In no time, the public believed it and accepted that someone killed Princess Diana by order.
What do you think? Is there a possibility that the MI6, CIA, or Prince Phillip ordered the murder of Princess Diana? Queen Elizabeth had nothing against the Princess and even pledged for her to keep the Royal Highness title. However, did someone from Buckingham Palace have something against her?
