In the summer of 1992, the relationship between Charles, heir to the crown of England, and Diana deteriorated irreparably after the latest tabloid revelations.
In this episode of our special series "At the heart of History" devoted to Windsors, Jean des Cars tells you about the incredible twists and turns of the soap opera that becomes the life of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
A soap opera that ends tragically, in Paris, on the night of August 30 to 31, 1997.
After the "Squidigate", the "Camillagate", and a violent media contest of almost four years, Charles, heir to the British crown, and Diana, Princess of Wales, ended up divorcing, pushed by the queen, in 1996. In this episode of our special series "At the heart of History" devoted to Windsors, Jean des Cars looks back on the "War of Wales", and evokes the attitude of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip during those turbulent years which end in 1997 with the untimely death of Princess Diana.
