Despite Tensions, Diana Recognised Camilla’s Loyalty in Private Conversations
The relationship between the late Princess Diana and Camilla Parker-Bowles was notoriously fraught, with Diana famously blaming Camilla for contributing to the breakdown of her marriage to King Charles. However, in a newly revealed remark, Diana privately acknowledged Camilla’s loyalty despite their bitter history.
During a discussion with The Sun’s Arthur Edwards, former royal correspondent Jennie Bond shared that Diana spoke candidly about Camilla following her infamous Panorama interview. While Diana was open about her struggles with Camilla, she also expressed admiration for one key trait. According to Bond, Diana believed Camilla was “loyal and discreet” and felt she deserved some recognition for this, despite the tension between them.
Bond’s revelation of Diana’s unexpected compliment left Edwards surprised, stating, “I’ve never heard that before. That’s really remarkable.”
