Edward then talked about the stress Diana’s fame put on the family. “Her charm was off the charts, but it tipped the scales. Suddenly, it was Diana and the rest of us, not the family as one. It was tough for all, her included, to handle that shift.”
The real shocker in the interview was when Edward called out the media’s part in Diana’s life—and her tragic end. “She was chased non-stop, and the press often twisted her story. But sometimes, I think Diana played that to her benefit. It was a double-edged sword, and sadly, it cut too deep in the end.”
Asked if the monarchy would’ve been stronger or weaker had Diana lived, Edward paused before answering, “Can’t say. What I know is her legacy is as inspiring as it is complex. She changed us in ways we’re still sorting out.”
