Thoughts of a Child Bride
23 November 2022
Since Diana never had a chance to be a young adult and grow up, her marriage was one of teen excitement with little thought for its implications. Surely, she had dated and partied a little, but the prospect of marrying the future king made her giddy and excited. But she had no idea what it would be like to marry a stodgy guy who had little spontaneity and who was already in love with another woman. This episode goes through the processes of the evil Martin Bashir who used the poor woman's naivete to get a damning interview with the BBC. This doesn't have the effect Diana was promised and the awful journalist slinks off out of sight.
