8. Diana’s depression.
From the beginning, her marriage to Charles was set to fail, so it came as no surprise when Diana decided to go public about her struggles…
Diana’s desperation almost led to her losing her first child after she threw herself down the stairs to get her husbands attention while pregnant with William.
Her candid interview with Panorama’s Martin Bashir attracted an audience of 22.8 million viewers – it still remains one of the BBC’s most watched programmes ever.

During her groundbreaking interview, she spoke about her anguish over her marriage to the Prince and about his affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles. She infamously said there were “three people” in her marriage.

Diana also spoke about her battle with depression and eating disorders.
In new tapes, Diana is quoted as saying: “I was so depressed, I was trying to cut my wrists with razor blades.”

“The bulimia started the week after we got engaged,” she said. “My husband put his hand on my waistline and said something like, ‘Oh, a bit chubby here, aren’t we?’”
A lot of her personal life was published in papers around the UK…
It wasn’t until she found professional help that Diana’s life started to shift course. She devoted countless hours to charity work and focused her attention on her sons.
