6. Marriage Troubles and Royal Indifference
As Diana and Charles’s marriage unraveled, the royal family remained largely passive, reluctant to intervene or provide meaningful support. Their strained relationship became public, with private grievances and infidelities exposed in the press. Instead of addressing the couple’s emotional needs, the institution often prioritized appearances and protocol, further alienating Diana. This lack of empathy and action deepened the chasm between Diana and the royal machine. For an in-depth look at their troubled marriage, see Vanity Fair.
