“One of the most shocking things that Diana told me was that the night before the wedding, Charles told her that he didn’t love her. Charles didn’t want to go to the wedding on a false premise. He wanted to square it with her and it was devastating for Diana. She didn’t want to go through with the wedding at that point, she thought about not attending the wedding.”
