In 1992, British Prime Minister John Major announced a statement in parliament that shocked the public: Prince Charles, the crown prince of the United Kingdom, and Princess Diana officially decided to separate after 11 years of marriage.
Of course, Major has tried his best to stabilize the mood of the people, saying that the two men do not go through the legal divorce process, which will not affect Charles's succession to the throne and Diana becoming queen.
But so what? Separation is the prelude to divorce, and almost the whole of Britain feels the depression of the coming rain, and their beloved princess is about to be cleared out of the door by the royal family.
It's just that Diana doesn't seem to have the heart to pay attention to this, because after the official separation, she will have too many things to do, and the most important thing is to erase the traces of Charles from her residence.
At that time, Charles and Diana's official London residence was between Kensington High Street and Bend Waterway, adjacent to Kensington Gardens, often known as Kensington Palace, where many royal family members lived, such as Prince Kent, such as Princess Margaret, etc.
Charles and Diana lived in a small L-shaped building with three floors, where they lived together for 11 years. Of course, the use of the room was already clearly divided between them.
On the first floor is Charles's study, which he loves with mahogany furniture, such as desks, bookshelves, and even his and Diana's large bed.
Usually, Charles will work on the first floor, listen to music, read books, and spend most of his time alone on the first floor. Including those phone calls to Camilla quietly, which were also made in his office.
The second floor, on the other hand, is set up as a living room, which has a large space and can accommodate at least 60 guests at a time. There is no way, the crown prince and the princess work every day, and there are still a lot of visitors.
The third floor, apart from Diana's room, is primarily dedicated to the toddler's room, where William and Harry spend most of their days and nights. Games room, instrument room, phantom room you name it.
But such a warm and complete residence could not give birth to a happy marriage, Charles thought about Camilla all day long, and Diana used all her strength to make trouble. In the end, the marriage could only come to an end.
As soon as the announcement was made, Charles had his favorite large desk moved to his new residence at St. James's Palace, which had just been renovated, and it is said that he had renovated Hagellof's house at that time.
In addition to loving his mahogany desk, Charles also cherished his collection of books and personal portraits very much, and he ordered someone to pack it up and transport it away, leaving only Diana and her two children in their place.
Diana has no heart to grieve for herself and her children, and Charles's coldness has been evident in her 11-year marriage, and she disdains and does not want to continue to be deeply involved.
So, Diana first asked people to throw out the two mahogany beds that had been used for 11 years, why? The reason she gave was very good: she felt disgusting.
Speaking of this mahogany bed, there is actually a bit of a story, Charles was already using it before he got married, it has his youth, it is also the style he likes, and it is a testimony of his life experience.
When Charles and Camilla were in love, this bed probably contributed its own strength, right? Anyway, Diana thinks Charles has fooled around with Camilla in this bed.
But one thing is incomprehensible, since this is guessed, why didn't Diana change her bed when she got married, or after she got married? After all, this kind of thing is not a problem for the royal family.
Presumably this is the estrangement, I know your lies, but I can't say it. In the end, the two people can only use their own methods to challenge each other, and then the marriage comes to an end.
It's okay to throw it away, at least out of sight and a lot of cleaner heart. Diana not only threw away the big bed, but also had the room repainted, and the interior of the room was also renovated.
Everything from the photos on the walls, to William and Harry's toys, has been changed, along with the door locks of the residence and even the phone number. This action can be described as thorough, but the two of them still see each other every day, is it necessary to change the phone number?
In fact, Charles is not polite, in his new home, his own portraits, photographs and family photos, all available, except for Diana, this is another degree of difference, right?
Judging from the separation alone, Charles and Diana are quite similar, and the twists in their personalities are really the same. It's just that neither of them noticed, only the queen watched them toss soberly.
There is no way, his son pays for it himself, his daughter-in-law also approves of it, and the queen has nothing to say. After the separation, the queen clearly knew that Diana's situation was not good, but it was already a boat, and she couldn't manage it.
It's just that many times, the queen will do her best to call Diana and ask if her life is "okay". Her private secretary, Roberto Ferros, has said that he sent messages to Diana on behalf of the Queen on more than one occasion.
It's not that the queen likes Diana much, but for her, the relationship between her son and daughter-in-law should still be remedied, and she looks forward to the two regaining their relationship.
Four months after the separation, the Queen hosted a state dinner at Buckingham Palace to entertain Portuguese President Mario Suarez. When everyone walked in, they found Diana present.
At that moment, everyone was shocked, especially Charles, who could hardly believe his eyes. It is said that he was very angry at the time and did not understand why his mother invited Diana over.
In fact, the queen did not tell anyone, and Diana's name appeared on the guest list, and no one else could have done it if it had not been for her intention.
Everyone smelled the queen's intentions, and she was thinking about reuniting her son and daughter-in-law. It's a pity that this is the queen's unilateral personal idea, and those two people have no room for maneuver at all.
From the beginning of the separation to the divorce and departure, Diana spent the most difficult years in the royal family, no one would look up to her, on the contrary, she was like a torn kite, hanging empty on the royal tree for anyone to ignore.
In 1996, Diana left the royal family and died on the streets of Paris the following year, as she said: "Life is just a journey", but her journey was too short to be uneasy to think about.
