Christopher Andersen's new biography makes some shocking claims about the royal marriage.
A new biography following the lives of Charles and Princess Diana is making some shocking claims about their marriage.
Titled The King: The Life of Charles III, a new book by Christopher Andersen catalogs the royals' “highly combustible” marriage, claiming that the couple's protection officers were worried someone could get hurt.
According to the biography, Charles’ valets claim Diana would pursue her husband "down hallways, up staircases, and from room to room” at Charles’ Highgrove House country retreat and hurl “epithets and mocking her husband’s obsession with the dreary-looking Camilla,” news.com.au reports. Andersen claims that Diana realized that Charles was in love with Camilla Parker-Bowles. “Consumed by anger and frustration, both bride and groom separately cried themselves to sleep the night before the wedding.”
Andersen goes on to write that Charles “had for all intents and purposes unilaterally called a halt to their sexual relationship” since Prince Harry’s birth in 1984. Diana would ask Charles, “Why won’t you sleep with me?” He allegedly responded sarcastically, “I don’t know, dear. I think I might be gay.”
The book goes on to say that Charles demanded Diana to give him the respect “that he felt his position warranted,” and would ask his wife, “Do you know who I am?”
“Diana answered that he was a ‘f***ing animal,’” Andersen writes, going out to shout, “You will never be king!” and “William will succeed your mother. I will see to that.”
The couple notoriously separated in 1992, divorced in 1996, and Princess Diana tragically died in a car accident a year later.
The King: The Life of Charles III debuts November 8.
