How Diana hid secret tension in marriage to Charles during iconic visit to Nigeria: Couple had few joint engagements and were VERY awkward when they were together in 1990 visit

The royal couple's five-day trip to Nigeria was one remembered for their largely separate engagements and their few awkward joint appearances. However, when the then Prince Charles and the Princess of Wales arrived in Lagos on March 15, 1990, thousands of fans welcomed them with cheers and flags. Diana looked resplendent in a series of dresses by designers Catherine Walker and Paul Costelloe as she characteristically attracted much of the limelight. She displayed the kindness that she was so loved for when she held the hand of a leprosy patient at a hospital, as Charles initially stood awkwardly by her side. At the time, the couple's marriage troubles were not public knowledge, but they were both engaged in secret affairs. Charles was seeing Camilla, now the Queen, and Diana was romantically involved with James Hewitt, a Captain in the British Army. She had also had a fling with her protection officer, Barry Mannakee.

The sickening campaign features a snapshot of a mangled vehicle in a tunnel with the caption: 'Diana.' She did not choose her death, but we should have the choice in 2024.' It sparked an immediate storm of furious condemnation, with friends and lawmakers branding it 'disgusting,'repugnant,' and 'hideous.' Rosa Monckton, her companion, said, "This is cruel, callous, and opportunistic." 'Diana was exploited in her youth and her death is now being exploited for very good reasons.' Baroness Monckton, who went on holiday with Diana a few weeks before she died in the car accident in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in 1997, said the photograph had left her'shocked and horrified.'

The Crown's Khalid Abdalla makes another political statement by writing 'never again' on his hand at the 2024 Emmy Awards amid Israel-Hamas war

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 16, 2024
Dodi Fayed, the actor who plays Princess Diana's late husband Dodi Fayed in the Netflix series, sent a political note through his appearance on the red carpet (left, right, and inset). Khalid's bold writing scrawled across his hand in a black marker pen as he posed for the cameras in an all-black outfit.

Dominic West, the Crown actor, claims Charles was treated too harshly in the aftermath of Diana's death: The actress claims that King was portrayed as the "villain of the piece," but he has 'deep affection for him.'

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 18, 2023
History should be kind to the incoming King, according to the actor, 54, who played Prince of Wales in the last two seasons of Netflix's series. Charles was seen as a 'villain' after his ex-wife died with Dodi Fayed on the night of August 30, according to Mr West, who was previously known for his role as Jimmy McNulty in The Wire. 'I adore him,' he said. I have a deep affection for him.' When Charles learns of his ex-wife's death in Paris in season six, which premiered last month, he crumbles into tears. He then defied his mother and ordered that the royal plane be sent to France to collect her coffin, sobbing vociferously as he saw her body for the first time at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital. 'You do have a sympathy for him,' Mr West said. I agree he was the villain of the story, particularly around Diana's death. And I think now that we've had 25 years of retrospective to reflect on, we might say that as being a bit harsh on him.'

Dodi Fayed was portrayed by the Crown as a playboy flitting between Princess Diana and his fiancee, Celine. However, one of his closest friends claims that he had no interest in women at all

He held the legendary '3Cs' parties, including champagne, cocaine, and caviar, and Dodi stayed up the entire time snorting 'industrial quantities' of cocaine in full view of his guests. The party will last three days, with visitors arriving and going at any time of the day and night, but Dodi Fayed did not sleep a wink.

RICHARD KAY, who was talking to her five to six times a day, shows the truth was much more compelling and poignant than the Netflix series romance as The Crown focuses on Diana's last weeks

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 17, 2023
RICHARD KAY: The courtier's interview with Prince of Wales captivated my complete attention midway through this new series of The Crown, with the courtier's conversation with him gaining my full attention. The two men were discussing newspaper coverage of Princess Diana's unfolding romance with Dodi Fayed. Photographs of the two couples in an embrace had been syndicated around the world and are now front-page news everywhere. Perhaps, the aide ably suggests that the Prince should also consider a photocall, a departure from the glitz of suntans, bikinis, and yachts seen in the grainy, long-distance photos of his ex-wife and her new boyfriend in the South of France, which would be a contrast to the glitz of suntans, bikinis, and yachts.

PLATELL'S PEOPLE: Why I don't believe that Diana and Dodi were ever in love

AMANDA PLATELL: Along with millions of others around the world, I watched the first four new episodes of Netflix's The Crown, which linger over the last days of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed's marriage, which culminated in their deaths in a Paris tunnel. Several have posted comments on the truth or otherwise of their affair, with some arguing that Diana was planning a new life abroad with Dodi that he'd proposed marriage, she'd accepted and was pregnant with his child. None of this is true, to which I can confidently state that none of it is true. How do I know? Because a dear friend, who was so close to Diana, told me that he had a long phone call with her from the Ritz hotel in Paris the day before her death.
