Why Prince Charles Hasn’t Been Allowed To Move On From Princess Diana’s Death

Following Princess Diana’s death in 1997, Prince Charles’ public image suffered a detrimental blow. A year before the Princess of Wales’ death, the pair finalized their divorce after Diana discovered Charles’ affair with Camilla Parker Bowles.

Although he received backlash over breaking Princess Diana’s heart at the time, Charles has since been accused of having a hand in her death. Recently, an alleged witness told a tabloid that Diana accused her ex-husband of trying to kill her.

The unidentified tipster claimed they were on the scene at the time of the fatal car crash in Paris and heard Princess Diana’s final words.

“When I first saw her, she was moaning in pain but conscious. She seemed dazed and disoriented and, at first…I heard her ask, ‘My God, what’s happened?’ She was told she’d been in a terrible car crash and to lie still,” the alleged source told The Globe.

“She was quiet for a few heartbeats then gasped in pain. Her eyes narrowed, and she whispered, ‘He’s killed me! That bloody bastard has killed me. Now what will happen to my boys …’ and she drifted off,” the anonymous onlooker claimed.

Despite the supposed witness’ claims, New Idea magazine insisted the tipster’s allegations of Princess Diana’s final words conflicted with past accounts of those who were present on the night of the tragedy.

The recent claims about Diana aren’t the first time someone has accused Prince Charles of causing his ex-wife’s death. Past conspiracy theories claimed the royal family had Princess Diana assassinated, and others have accused Prince Phillip and Charles of teaming up to plan her murder.

Although Prince Charles married Camilla in 2005, the future king continues to be accused of playing a part in his ex-wife’s tragic end. Despite the public backlash he received following Princess Diana’s death, Charles attended her funeral service and walked behind her casket alongside their sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.
