Princess Diana Accused Of Trying To Commit Suicide By Michael Gove
Princess Diana and Prince Charles were previously mocked by top Tory Michael Gove over their failed marriage and other things.
During his interview on Channel 4’s “A Stab in the Dark,” Gove compared the future king to Adolf Hitler. He said that one of Prince Charles' differences from the Nazi dictator was that when Hitler’s wife tried to commit suicide, she succeeded. Gove, who was a journalist during his 1992 interview, also talked about Princess Diana’s difficult week at the time. The year 1992 was the year when Prince Charles and Princess Diana separated from each other. The late Princess of Wales’ eating disorder also made headlines back then.
“The papers have taken a renewed interest in her eating disorders – in particular, her late-night bingeing on paracetamol. But you can see why she wanted out… There are more problems in living with Charles that just his not liking Dire Straits,” he said.
During the same interview, Gove said that Prince Charles and Hitler both believed in population control. Prince Charles believes in doing it through contraception, while Hitler tried to make it happen through extermination.
After Gove’s interview resurfaced, some royal fans slammed him over his insensitive statements about Princess Diana’s death. One of the conspiracy theories surrounding her sudden demise was that she wanted to commit suicide.
“His joke regarding Diana trying to commit suicide is nothing but cruel and cheap,” one person commented.
But a source close to Gove said that he was young and irresponsible.
In related news, Princess Diana also made headlines this week after it was revealed that she was pushed coldly aside by Camilla Parker Bowles. In the Amazon Prime documentary “Diana: The Woman Inside,” former royal protection officer Ken Wharfe said that Camilla never gave Princess Diana a chance.
He also said that Princess Diana desperately wanted to fix her marriage to Prince Charles for the sake of their two sons but Camilla didn’t allow for this to happen.
