They both used the press but later on, and were as bad as each other, but not I think when this book was written. I read the full excerpts in Post 869 last thread
@MeInMidAmerica thanks.
There's a strange dislocation and glossing over cause and effect. Chuck seems to be a bystander on a different planet to his wife, oblivious to the effect of his nocturnal excursions to C. "Diana was oblivious to them at first". ( Really? ) Then began to suspect and once got hysterical when she couldn't find Chuck. That's all that's said. Does this matter? It appears not, and it's just baldly stated.
Chuck seems bemused by Diana's weeping and hysterics, benign and polite in contrast to his venemous bullying wife. When he didn't hug her back and she ran off he calls after her saying "Of course I want to hug you darling!" Standing in his muddy wellies, he didn't want to hug her and she knew it. His heart was always with Camilla but this never seems to feature as a possible reason for her behaviour.
Charles is the doting loving father, but seems oblivious to the effect his infidelity was having on his children and marriage.
It seems to have been his "right", and this could be the answer as he's always done what he wants.
I don't think at that early stage Diana was seeing anyone else yet?
It's accepted that Diana was vengeful and manipulative etc., but wasn't that later? When Wendy Berry wrote this book they'd only been married 4 or 5 years, and Diana was unstable and desperate, yet the Diana of Bashir and Dodi seems almost to have been applied retrospectively here.
This is a very odd book, and there seem to be chunks missing that would explain what the author is describing, and it's difficult to put into words.
We still don't know why it's been circulated now, do we?
