Princess Diana Called 'Prostitute, Whore' By Her Own Mother For This Reason

Princess Diana and her own mother, Frances Shand Kydd, didn’t have a good relationship.

The late Princess of Wales’ former butler Paul Burrell shared an incident when he overheard a telephone call between Princess Diana and her mother.

“(Diana) said come and have a listen to this, and her mother ... berated her for being [seen] around with Muslim men,” Burrell said.

“You’re nothing but a prostitute and a whore, that’s what I’ve brought up, a prostitute,” Princess Diana’s mother said.

Burrell added that after the conversation, Princess Diana told him that she would never ever speak to her mother again as long as she lives. Princess Diana’s mom died in June 2004.

To make matters worse, Princess Diana didn’t have a good relationship with her stepmother, Raine Spencer. Princess Diana and her siblings would reportedly refer to their stepmother as “Acid Raine” and often sang “Raine, Raine, go away.”

When Princess Diana married Prince Charles in 1981, she wasn’t seated with John Spencer. She also didn’t appear on the Buckingham Palace’s balcony after the ceremony. There were also reports claiming that one time the Princess of Wales pushed Raine down the stairs.

However, their relationship improved after Princess Diana and Prince Charles’s split. According to Daily Mail, as Princess Diana was coming to terms with the collapse of her marriage with Prince Charles, she remained estranged from her own mother, so Raine provided her a “no-nonsense shoulder to cry on.”

Following Princess Diana’s fatal car crash, Raine spoke at the princess’ inquest and her affection and sympathy for the People’s Princess were obvious, BBC reported.

Raine recalled how Princess Diana would always tell her that she had no hidden agenda because there are so many people around her that wanted something from her. Raine also described Princess Diana’s life as “very draining.”

Raine also shared Princess Diana’s affection for her boyfriend Dod Al Fayed who was with her during the accident. According to Raine, the relationship between the two was not a “summer romance” and she described Al Fayed as “charming, sweet and modest.”

When the inquest was about to finish, Raine asked coroner Lord Justice Scott Baker’s permission for a short statement. She thanked everyone involved in the inquest and begged to solve the mystery surrounding Princess Diana and Al Fayed’s death, so they could truly rest in peace.
