1992
was a very bad year for the Royal Family. In February, Charles and Diana went
to India. Photographers took pictures of Diana, in front of the Taj Mahal. On
29th March, Diana’s father, Johnnie, died suddenly. Diana was on a
skiing holiday with Charles and the boys in Austria. Her father’s death was a
terrible shock. Charles and Diana flew back to London. On the 1st of
April, Diana drove to Althorp for the funeral – the ceremony for a dead person
– and Charles came later by helicopter. Andrew Morton’s book about Diana was
ready. He called it Diana: Her True Story. Diana wanted the British people to
know the truth about her life, but the Royal Family did not know anything about
the book.
On the 7th
of June 1992 the Sunday Times newspaper printed a part of Andrew Morton’s book.
For the first time, people read about Diana’s bulimia. Diana became more
popular because of Andrew Morton’s book. At the end of June 1992, she went to
Belfast in Northern Ireland. ‘We want Di!’ shouted the people. The problems
between Charles and Diana grew worse. On the 25th of November they
met at Kensington Palace and talked about a separation. On the 9th
of December, the Prime Minister, John Major, gave a speech to the British
Parliament. ‘The Prince and Princess of Wales, have decided to separate, ‘he
said. But they had ‘no plans to divorce.
