Decades after Charles and Diana’s nuptials and divorce, their marriage is yet again the focus of public fascination.
"The Crown" previously highlighted chapters in their relationship, like their engagement and age difference; their dance during their their 1983 Australia tour; and the close call avalanche during a skiing trip to Klosters in 1988, which killed one of Charles' close friends.
In Andrew Morton’s “Diana: Her True Story, In Her Own Words,” Diana — who had a major hand in the creation of the book, recording her memories on audio tapes that Morton received, the— recalled her sister asking, “Why is Diana coming as well?” The royal-to-be responded, “Well, I don’t know, but I’d like to come.”
Per Morton’s book, a mutual friend, Philip de Pass, invited Diana to spend some time at his family’s home in Sussex, telling her that Charles would be there and that as “a young blood,” she might “amuse him.” The stay ended with an invitation to join Charles in London and marked the beginning of their courtship — a courtship that soon had the approval of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.Just two months later, Diana was invited for a meaningful stay at the queen’s sprawling Scottish residence in Aberdeenshire, Balmoral Castle, where her budding relationship with Charles and her suitability as a partner would be tested by his friends and family, and most importantly, by the monarch herself.
