Princess Diana v Prince Charles: Who do you sympathise more with?

[Rana]

I guess at the time of her seperation and due to her massive star profile, the vast majority of the world would side with the Princess of hearts. Diana was so well appreciated all across the globe, and not many would know the inner details of her troubled marriage with Charles. Recently though, after doing a fair bit of research I am of the opinion that Diana was no saint herself. It became evident at the time that the royal marriage was haunted by the presence of a second woman. Charle's and his infidelity became manifest. In such a case, it could be argued that Diana's affairs with various men during her marriage are only fair considering Charles was unfaithful. Another argument is brought to the front is that of Diana's mental state, her star prowess and celebrity became a major deterrent in her wedding. Charles always saw Camila as the more sane and understanding of the two, and the argument that Charles was not seeing more than one woman as compared to Diana, who then went on a tirade of men to take revenge on Charles.

Its all too complicated, its all too sad tbh. I admired Diana as a kid, not sure if I truly admire her now. Thoughts?

I admire all her charity work, and being a soft hearted royal, hugging aids sufferers etc when the uneducated masses still thought you could catch it by being in touch with someone who carried HIV. Also going abroad, picking up unwashed babies, being pictured with the less fortunate and her work against land mines etc and getting the British government to scale back on development of them.

Personally, I dont know her enough or what she went through, I know she suffered through various eating disorders and mental health issues etc. I still admire her, despite all the negatives which have come out about her.

Prince Charles, I admire for his championing of organic farming. He also wears a tupee which Ch. Nisar could learn from.

I remember a comic panel in a newspaper after diana had died. It had someone wish Prince Charles 'Morning, and he replies "No, just taking my dog out for a walk". Classic british dark humour.

Sympathy for Diana who was made to continue a relationship with a man who was having an affair with Camilla Parker. Must also have been tough for Charles as well seeing he was always in Diana's shadow, she in return is also said to have many affairs during that period as well. According to many sources Charles is not even Harry's Dad!. Both were simply wrong for each other.

Diana ofcourse... the most high profile victim of an honour killing.
