King Charles allegedly fat-shamed Diana in new memoir revelations

A new book has surfaced with controversial claims regarding King Charles's personal conduct towards Princess Diana during their marriage, alleging that the then-Prince made unflattering remarks about her weight. According to the memoir, Charles reportedly referred to Diana as "a bit chubby," adding to long-standing accounts of tension and unhappiness within the royal household during their relationship.

The publication further claims that Charles displayed unexpected emotional responses following Diana's death in a car crash in Paris in 1997. The memoir allegedly describes the King as being "giddily elated" in the aftermath of her demise, a characterisation that stands in stark contrast to the public mourning and expressions of grief from other members of the royal family during that turbulent period.

These assertions contribute to a broader body of claims and accounts that have emerged over the decades regarding the breakdown of Charles and Diana's marriage. The couple's relationship had become increasingly strained, with documented reports of infidelity, emotional distance, and fundamental incompatibility between the two.

The allegations, if substantiated, would add another layer to the historical record of one of the most scrutinised royal marriages in modern history. Charles went on to marry Camilla Parker Bowles following Diana's death and several years of public speculation about their relationship.
