And about Prince Charles:  Now I am not sure I truly understand or
remember the story. Why didn't he marry her to start with, if he
knew her all his life??  Really a shame, Diana and all.  Talk about
the Malfoy's having a loveless marriage to produce an heir.  So
tragic, for everyone.  I remember the first wedding. It was on my
birthday and the people that I was living with at the time all got
up at 5:00am or some God awful hour to watch it on TV and forced me
to do so as well.  I am rather a cynic when it comes to marriage

young love and all.  And my friends were just all gaga over the
fairytale wedding.

He had been dating her. He was in the navy and went away on board his ship -
and she married someone else. Whether he expected her to wait for him or was
dithering about it and she got fed up or broke up with her and then decided
it was a mistake I don't know. I don't really think anyone does as the
Royals only tend to give out the basic press releases that x and y ar
engaged/marrying/divorcing/whatever. 

Diana was a *big* mistake. When they married she was a lot younger than him,
and quite shy/ Presumably the Family firm thought she would remain that way
but instead she grew a backbone and started fighting back, including affairs
on her own side. Whether Charles was already actually sleeping with Camilla
is also unknown but he was definitely still emotionally involved with her
and marrying someone else was probably never going to work. Personally I
think that by the end of the marriage they were both behaving disgracefully,
but *shrugs* I don't actually care. I don't really care that he's marrying
Camilla either. I don't like eithe of them but not in a 'I hate them and am
passionate about it' kind of way, just in a 'wouldn't care to know either of
them' kind of way.
