/ don't want a divorce

Di says she was unfaithful and in love with another!
LONDON (AP) — Both Princess Diana and
Prince Charles were unfaithful during their mar
riage, but she does not want a divorce, Diana said in
an interview broadcast Monday night.
In her first public comments about her private
life, Diana told the BBC: “I don’t want a divorce.”
But she said she would be willing to discuss the pos
sibility with Charles if he feels differently.
“I await my husband’s decision on which way
we’re all going to go,” she said. “... To date, neither of
us has discussed this subject, though the rest of the
world seems to have.”
Diana said she had desperately wanted her mar
riage to succeed, in part because of the painful sepa
ration of her own parents.
"To date, neither of us have discussed the
subject, though the rest of the world
seems to have"
— Princess Diana
about a divorce with Prince Charles
“l desperately wanted it to work. I desperately
loved my husband and I wanted to share everything
with him, and I thought we were a very good team,”
she said. “I come from a divorced background, and I
didn’t want to go into that again.”
Asked if her relationship with Army Maj. James
Hewitt, her former riding instructor, had gone be
yond a close friendship, Diana said: “Yes it did, yes.”
“Were you unfaithful?” asked reporter Martin
Bashir.
“Yes, I adored him,” Diana said. “Yes, I was in
love with him.”
Diana spoke quietly, almost wanly, though sever
al times she flashed the shy smile that has been her
trademark. She wore a navy suit with a white shell
and dark stockings. Her hair looked slightly tousled.
Prince Charles, who formally separated from Di
ana in December 1992 after 11 years of marriage,
was reported to be at his home in Gloucestershire. It
was not known whether he was watching.
The BBC said about 15 million people were ex
pected to watch the interview, recorded Nov. 5, on
its “Panorama” program Monday night.
The princess was at a charity gala when the in
terview was broadcast, and Queen Elizabeth II and
her husband Prince Philip — celebrating their 48th
wedding anniversary — were attending the Royal
Variety Show.
The interview was scheduled to air in the United
States at 9 p.m. EST Friday on ABC-TV, which
bought the American broadcast rights.
Diana said that after her separation, she be
came the object of an organized campaign by peo
ple in the royal household who saw her as a prob
lem. She said visits abroad were blocked and let
ters didn’t reach her.
“Everything changed after we separated
became very difficult,” she said.
But she said of herself: “She won’t go
that’s the problem. I will fight to the end,
believe that I have a role to fulfill, and I’ve
children to bring up.”
Diana never pointed to any specific peop!
royal household who feared or opposed her
why she was regarded as a problem, Diana
“I think every strong woman in history hi
walk down a similar path. I think it’s I
that causes the confusion and the fear,
strong? Where does she get it from? Whers
taking it? Where is she going to use it? WhyiJ
public still support her?”
She denied having an adulterous relat
with her friend James Gilbey, but confirmed
was the man who called her “Squidgy" in at
tinely taped telephone conversation.
Diana said she knew that her husband:^
newed his old relationship with Camilla
Bowles in 1986. “It was pretty devastating,”sfl
Charles admitted in a 1994 televisiot |
view that he was unfaithful to Diana
marriage broke down. |
Diana said she became bulimic duri
marriage, and "escaped” into a cycle ofli
and vomiting.
“It was a symptom of what was going o:
marriage. 1 was crying for help, but I was0®
wrong signals,” she said. _
She said she never asked for help fronuH
member of the royal family.
“You have to know, when you havebufe^
are very ashamed of yourself,” she said.
Diana said she did not want to divorceinp
of concern for her sons, William, 13, and Hr
“Our boys, that’s what matters, isn’t it?’’
She said when she and Charles separat f
told her son William: “If you find someone;
in life, you must hang on to it and lookafta
if you were lucky enough to find someone A,
you, you were always protected.”
She said she told William about Charles j|
explaining that “although I still loved:,,
couldn’t live under the same roof withkp
likewise with him.”
Diana said she did not think she woii»
be queen.
“I’d like to be a queen in people’s hearsp
don’t see myself being queen of this countn.p
think many people would want me to be c;.«
tually. When I say many people, I mean tkL
lishment that I’m married into, because thi
cided that I’m a non-starter.”
She would like to be an ambassador for
