By now, most of us know the story of Princess Diana.
The pair were married in 1981 when she was just 20 years old.
Read on to learn a little more about Diana’s relationships with each royal family member.
However, in reality, Diana and the Queen were likely a little more friendly.
Naturally, their relationship went through a few ups and downs.
At first, Diana was reportedly “terrified” of the Queen.
After Diana and Charles split, the Queen remained one of Diana’s only real allies.
After all, they were both outsiders who had married into the family.
Morton also revealed how both Diana and Margaret were more alike than other members of the family.
As Diana told Morton, “I’ve always adored Margo.
I love her to bits, and she has been wonderful to me from day one.”
According toTatler, Margaret sent the princess a devastating letter, and the pair never spoke again.
“Somebody who might conceivably pull the monarchy down.”
It seems the distrust was mutual.
She was rather wary of her" (viaExpress).
And things only got worse.
After a quick and fairly formal courtship, the pair announced their engagement.
The young Diana was thrilled but, according to experts, unprepared and naive.
There were a number of reasons why their relationship was doomed.
These cracks soon began to show in their relationship, and things eventually became unsustainable.
After their divorce, their relationship actually became a little better.
“They talked about their philanthropies.
And she had accepted Camilla,” Brown wrote (viaElle).
According to reports, their differences meant that the two royals didn’t always get along.
Anne had no time for Diana’s “pretension.”
“She looked up at Diana and looked straight through her.
Even though Anne and Diana weren’t best friends, rumors of a feud were probably exaggerated.
In one interview, Diana even gushed about Anne’s charity.
When asked about a rivalry, she said, “None at all.
Anne also reportedly later regretted not making an effort with her sister-in-law.
“Anne’s not one for shows of emotion,” a source toldNew Idea.
“She’s like her mother in that way.
But Diana’s death really got to her.
Deep down, she did regret not making more of an effort with her.”
According to royal biographer Ingrid Seward, some people thought that Diana and Andrew might be a good match.
“But Diana wasn’t interested in Andrew.
It was Charles she was interested in” (viaElite Daily).
“I was horrified by it as it wasn’t really long after [she died].”
According toTown & Country, the pair first met as children in school and became close as teenagers.
The pair allegedly became closer after Diana joined the royal family, with Sarah becoming her close confidant.
When Sarah and Andrew began dating, Diana was there to help her friend get accustomed to royal life.
‘Just keep smiling,’ Diana whispered.
And I did, as I would for long years to come.
I always felt safe in mimicking Diana.”
As sisters-in-law, the pair were both close friends and, occasionally, rivals.
In fact, the pair were not actually on speaking terms when Diana died.
As Sarah later confessed toHarper’s Bazaar, “Because we were like siblings … we rowed.
And the saddest thing, at the end, we hadn’t spoken for a year.”
Apparently, both she and Sarah Ferguson shunned Sophie and “ganged up” on her in return.
Apparently, Phillips and Anne missed Prince Harry’s christening and opted to go on a rabbit hunt instead.
It sounds like Phillips cared more about hunting than about showing up for his sister-in-law’s son’s christening.
Diana reportedly felt that William had a lot of similarities to Charles, while Harry was more like herself.
It turns out Diana actually knew her fairly well.
In fact, the pair were actually friends before Diana discovered her affair with Charles.
Apparently, they spent their time laughing and gossiping.
By then, it’s pretty clear that things had become more than frosty between the two women.
