Princess Diana Conveyed Message That She’s An ‘Abandoned Woman’ Amid Charles’ Longstanding Promise

Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s trip to India shortly before their separation made headlines but for all the wrong reasons. The heir to the throne promised the public that he would take his wife to India, but he only fulfilled half of the things that he said.

In the book “Charles: A Biography,” royal author Anthony Holden said that Prince Charles accompanied Princess Diana to India, but he didn’t join her on her trip to the Taj Mahal. As such, the Princess of Wales was photographed outside the beautiful attraction looking like a lonely and abandoned woman.

“Beside the Taj Mahal, built by a seventeenth-century Mogul emperor for his wife, who had died at childbirth, the Prince of Wales posed poignantly alone, sending a deliberate ‘postcard home’, bearing the clear message that she now saw herself as an abandoned woman,” Holden said.

And just before their tour of India, Prince Charles made a shocking suggestion to Queen Elizabeth II that the latter immediately rejected. The dad of two urged his mom to have a neo-classical fountain built in Parliament Square to honor her time as the monarch.

However, Her Majesty didn’t feel that it was the right thing to do and her rejection was one of the best decisions that she has ever done in her life.

“Amid the deaths of a recession with hard-pressed Births tax payers processing about subsiding the world’s wealthiest woman, the Queen herself was quick to veto her loving son’s idea. It proved a sound judgment on the monarch’s part, as her personal milestone that February was obscured by the visible deterioration of Charles’s marriage during a disastrous six-day visit to India,” Holden said.

The Queen’s decision became even more reasonable after Princess Diana’s photos in India were released by the press. And even though the monarch didn’t really meddle in her son and daughter-in-law’s relationship, she was the one who urged the royal couple to finalize their divorce.
