Although they had a tumultuous marriage, sources revealed that King Charles III and Princess Diana were on good terms before her passing in 1997. "Charles got into the habit of dropping in on her at Kensington Palace and they would have tea and a sort of rueful exchange. They even had some laughs together," royal biographer Tina Brown told The Daily Telegraph.
Diana made the revelation to Brown during a dinner at the Four Seasons in New York City — just one month before Diana succumbed to injuries she sustained in a car accident in Paris. Surprisingly, the princess conveyed that despite the fact that Charles had been carrying on an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles throughout their marriage, Diana would "go back to Charles in a heartbeat if he wanted her," Brown said.
After her death, Charles was tasked with helping his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, grieve their mother — he also had to deal with his own emotions. "There had been some moments of happiness in the morass of misery, but he was keenly aware that he had failed to make the happiness last, failed to make her his friend and failed to create the secure, loving home for their children that they both had dreamed of," royal author Penny Junor wrote in her book "The Firm."
