Sundays, secrets and distance

The author recalls Diana confiding in Fergie most Sundays about the constraints of royal life, yet growing uneasy that Ferguson's boisterousness might harm Diana's reputation. Over time Diana pulled back.

Divorce, lessons and later years

According to Lownie, Diana once suggested they would divorce their husbands simultaneously but ultimately watched Ferguson divorce Andrew in 1992 and learned from how the family treated her. Ferguson and Andrew stayed close and lived together at Royal Lodge; years later he was evicted after King Charles stripped his titles in October 2025 amid renewed scrutiny over ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Diana and Charles had married in 1981, separated in 1992 and divorced in 1996; Diana died in 1997 after a car accident in Paris at age 36.
