Andrew Morton details it in depth in his new biography of the Queen, out this week.
Andrew Morton has been busy lately—in addition to serving as a consultant for season five of Netflix’s, heavily excerpted here. The book details another storyline we’ve seen portrayed onscreen in season five: the oftentimes complex relationship between Her late Majesty and Princess Diana, both of whom Morton has written books about. “She was very supportive of Diana,” Morton says of the Queen, per.
On June 14, 1992, Morton’s biography—later revealed as more of an autobiography—of the Princess of Wales,, was released. The public response to the book was “explosive,” Morton writes in, and “though the Queen had been painfully aware of the marital rift [between Charles and Diana] for some time, she was unprepared for such a detailed public exposition…Behind the scenes the Queen and her aides tried to manage the unhappy situation.
For the next few years, the so-called “War of the Waleses” continued, and “much against the better judgement of her mother and sister [the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret], the Queen tried to keep Diana within the fold, quietly hopeful that at some point Charles and his wife could effect a reconciliation.” Diana, for her part, “was playing a waiting game, prepared to sit on the sidelines until her husband took the initiative and asked for a divorce.
Yet, even through this tumult, Her late Majesty invited Diana to Sandringham for the royal family’s traditional Christmas celebrations, just the next week. “Diana declined, telling friends that she would ‘[go] up in my BMW car and come out in a coffin.’” Instead, she spent the holiday on her own at Kensington Palace before jetting off to the Caribbean.
