After Princess Diana and Prince Charles got married in 1981, there was no media outlet that did not write about the wedding. However, after the ceremony, which was called the wedding of the century, difficult times began for Diana. She was well aware that there was another woman in her husband's life - Camilla Parker-Bowles. In an interview with Andrew Morton, the princess noted that her problems began after the wedding, that she suffered from bulimia, hated herself and blamed her rival Camilla for everything. Diana, who did not receive attention from her husband, began to seek attention from others. She met equestrian trainer James Hewitt. At this time, Charles did not hide his relationship with Camilla and even went on a trip together. The media was flooded with materials about the telephone conversations of the two royals with their mistresses. Both of them blamed each other for the collapse of their marriage. Queen Elizabeth was furious and demanded their divorce.

In 1960, Margaret married Anthony Armstrong-Jones, but she did not pretend to be happy with her marriage because she was not happy. During her 18-year marriage to Anthony, Margaret had only one man in her heart - Peter, with whom she was once madly in love.
