Prince Charles Cried After This Heartbreaking Incident Despite Calling Princess Diana ‘Mad’

Prince Charles finally showed a surge of emotion after the death of Princess Diana on Aug. 31, 1997.

In the book “The Queen & Di: The Untold Story,” royal author Ingrid Seward said that after the heir to the throne found out that his ex-wife had died, he broke down into tears.

“Charles’ composure collapsed and the tears which the public never saw started to flow. There had been times when Diana’s behavior had driven him to such distraction that he declared her to be utterly mad,” she said.

But immediately after he learned that Princess Diana in a fatal car crash in Paris, all of the bitterness and anger in the future King’s heart disappeared. Prince Charles also exposed his sensitive side in that devastating moment, and this was actually one of the things that Princess Diana loved about him.

Shortly after Princess Diana’s death, Prince Charles decided to tie the knot again. But this time around, he married the love of his life, Camilla Parker Bowles, in a civil wedding ceremony. Following their nuptials, royal expert Penny Junor said that Camilla never thought of replacing Princess Diana in her sons’ life.

“To be fair to Camilla, she never tried to be mommy, but she was the ‘other woman’ and she was there and taking daddy’s time,” Junor said.

And during a recent interview on “True Royalty TV,” producer Juliet Rice said that there have been tons of misconception regarding Camilla’s relationship with Prince William and Prince Harry.

“There’s been this historical misconception about Camilla because of the circumstances surrounding Prince Charles’ marriage to Princess Diana. There’s a lot of misconception about what really went on there and throughout all that coverage, the 80s and beyond, she’s never said a word… We didn’t talk to her about that, but it was nice to see her as a human, a relatively normal human being,” she said.

And during another interview, Prince Harry said that Camilla was never an evil stepmother to him and his older brother.
