The outward happiness and accord that Charles and Diana had shown to the world for nearly eleven years was exposed as deliberate camouflage. Behind the façade; Morton asserted, Diana was miserable. Charles did not love her, but was besotted with a long-standing mistress, Camilla Parker-Bowles.
Diana was presented as much more than an unhappy wife. Many were ready to believe that she was a martyr to her royal destiny and a sacrifice on the altar of the cruel Windsor dynasty.
One-sided though Morton’s book obviously was, its effect was to iconize the princess and demonize Charles. In addition, it upended all previous notions of the Royal Family as exemplars of dignity, probity and even honor. The speed with which so many readers appeared willing to ditch their regard for the royals was one of the book’s most alarming outcomes.

A Damning Portrait of Prince Charles
The revelations carried on into 1982. Shortly after the birth of Prince William on June 21 of that year, Diana apparently overheard a conversation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], presumably with Camilla, in which Charles said “Whatever happens, I will always love you.”
Since 1981, Diana had built up a perception of sweetness, compassion, motherly devotion and beauty which held her legions of admirers in thrall. However, excessive public devotion to this image may have appeared, it was a predictable reaction.
It is extremely rare for a single book, even a book about Diana, to make worldwide headlines, set off a furore of angry debate and put a formerly revered institution such as the British Royal Family into the firing line.

Camilla Parker-Bowles, the Mistress in the Background
On the very day she and Charles were married, Morton wrote, Diana discovered a bracelet in Charles” possession which was inscribed “Fred to Gladys”, Fred supposedly being Charles and Gladys, Camilla. On the honeymoon, photographs of Camilla were said to have fallen out of Charles’ diary and Diana noticed her new husband was wearing cufflinks inscribed with two intertwined Cs for Charles.and Camilla.
The author painted a picture of a cold, arrogant royal husband, jealous of Diana’s success and contemptuous of her supposed lack of intellect and “trivial” interests. In the background, the unfeeling, hidebound Royal Family saw Diana as a “problem” and sought to sideline her and stifle her individuality. Behind them lay the courtiers whose job it as to whip Diana into line.
Yet this is precisely what happened when Diana; Her True story made its appearance in the bookshops. Written by a skilful journalist who was no rumor-mongering hack, the book was dynamite.
Later, it seemed that every time Diana pressed the “last number re-dial” button on Charles’ telephone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it rang in Camilla’s house and sometimes Camilla answered.
It revealed what some had long suspected, others had energetically denied and many had feared: that the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales was a sham. Morton claimed there was no great love-match, no wedded bliss, not even a measure of rub-along contentment.
If the general message of Diana, Her True Story was shocking, the details were nothing short of appalling. Diana, Morton wrote,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], had attempted suicide five or six times and on one occasion threw herself down the stairs while pregnant.
