US Royal Watcher,
From what I understand, Diana didn't like her friends criticizing and talking bad about Charles much. She felt that, it was her husband and if anyone was going to bash him, she would do it. It wasn't right for her to bash Charles and it wasn't right for Charles to treat Diana badly. That all happened because they were hurt and angry at the time. Royal or not, in some cases, this happens when couples are going through a bad separation and divorce. Diana and Charles were public figures and their problems went unfixed and therefore it all spilled into the public atmosphere.
Yes, I know this thread is about Diana and not Charles and Camilla. I'm just pointing out that I think it's important to remain fair and balanced when talking about the Waleses marital problems. It's good that we can have a discussion about this, although this topic have been beaten across the head way too many times, it's all in the past and the surviving parties have long moved on.
From what I've seen on the forums, when the Waleses marriage comes up, it's all about what Diana did and what Diana said. Diana, Diana, Diana. If one didn't know any better, you'd think Diana was in the marriage alone and destroyed all by herself. It took two people to tango in that marriage and they both wrecked it. They didn't get any professional help for their crumbling marriage and things got out of hand. They argued, cheated and their friends took sides; instead of coming together and lending help to the couple. The media also added a great deal of pressure on them and everything fell apart. They did that together. Not one over the other.
As for the relationship between Diana and her stepmother-I can't comment too much on that. Diana was wrong to push her or anyone else, if that is what really happened. No one is making any excuses for Diana's actions. They seemed to have made up in the end and moved on.
Yes, Diana slapped her father. She admitted that on video. She was hurt for what her father did. From where I come from, you raise your hand at your mother or father, you'd better run. Diana shouldn't have done that.
No, Charles (not to my knowledge) ever pushed or slapped either of his parents but he sure did throw them under the bus in his biography written by, Jonathan Dimbleby.
