The "No matter ... Love means" Note

Princess Diana and Charles Wedding Royal Marriages

The marriage of Charles and Diana was sentenced from the beginning. When the couple gave their first interview on the day of their commitment in February 1981, the prince abrasied the world when he gave one of the most awkward answers in history to a simple question: "Are you loved ? " The Rougissante-To-Be bride responded nervous, "of course". The visibly uncomfortable prince then said, "All that" love "means".

The public did not know at the time that the prince had anything but having been forced to marry Diana, who was considered a suitable match for the future king because of his aristocratic background (and even more important at the time because she was a virgin) to secure an heir to the throne, even if he still lovedCamilla Parker Bowles. This moment, forever registered in time on the video, is a sad artifact of the disastrous union that almost brought back the British monarchy.

The young prince was maintained during the night at the Grand Hospital d'Ormond de London after an hour operation.
