I hope people aren't going by the current series of The Crown, if they are watching, most of it is hyped up fiction for dramatic effect .  |
No, I did watch the Crown but I didn't take that as gospel, anything that did peak my curiosity after I watched I checked to see how true it was. Dianas own words said that the Queen was very cold with her after the troubles in her marriage showed and that she blamed Diana for those issues, she told her that her marriage was falling a part because of her Bulimia
"Diana says the Queen eventually considered her to be “a threat”
Despite early warmth from Queen Elizabeth, Diana said that their relationship soured when her and Charles’s marriage began to deteriorate. “I long to get inside her mind and talk to her and I will. I’ve always said to her: ‘I’ll never let you down but I cannot say the same for your son.’ She took it quite well,” Diana recalled. “She indicated to me that the reason why our marriage had gone downhill was because Prince Charles was having such a difficult time with my bulimia. She told me that.” This made Diana realize that the royal family thought she was the sole “cause of the marriage problems, and not one of the symptoms.”
