Prince Charles May Regret Not Trying To Save Princess Diana Marriage, Netizens Say

Prince Charles and Princess Diana have been divorced for over two decades but some royal fans still haven’t gotten over how they ended their marriage.

On the online forum site Quora, royal fans wondered whether or not the future king regretted the fact that he didn’t try to save his marriage to the late Princess of Wales.

Mickie Southam said that nobody with a conscience will walk away from a failed marriage without having any regrets regardless of who is to blame.

“Everyone wonders if they could have tried harder or done something differently. They wonder if they should have married earlier or waited until they were more certain, or if they should have married that person at all… They wonder if they should have been prepared to sacrifice more to try to save the marriage,” she said.

But Southam said that the problem is that when someone is in a disastrous marriage, it is very hard to think about regrets. But after getting out of that marriage, the royal fan said that she’s certain Prince Charles had some regrets.

However, John Lingley, a resident of Britain, said that he doesn’t think the heir to the throne had any regrets about his marriage to Princess Diana failed.

“He was railroaded against his best instincts to marry an unsuitable young lady purely on the grounds that she was an aristocratic virgin. By his age, he was running out of options there… He married Diana as a broodmare to provide the ‘heir and a spare’ which she did in short order… Once she had done that, he saw her as a liability and as an embarrassment which to some extent she was,” he said.

John Lavery said that the only thing Prince Charles didn’t regret when he married Princess Diana was the birth of his two sons. Tony Gilbert, a resident of Edinburgh, said that Prince Charles’ only regret was the conventions of the time which prevented him from marrying Camilla Parker Bowles in the first place.
