THIS Is Why The QUEEN ATTACKED Princess Diana!! – The TRUTH About DIANA Of WALES!”
For decades, the tension between Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana has fascinated royal watchers, journalists, and historians alike. While publicly the two women maintained a respectful front, behind the gilded palace doors, their relationship was far more complex — and, at times, deeply strained. Now, newly surfaced insider accounts and royal archives shed light on why the Queen allegedly "attacked" Diana — not with words, but with power.
Despite marrying into the royal family at just 20 years old, Princess Diana quickly became its brightest star. Her charisma, compassion, and connection with the public eclipsed even the monarchy itself — and that, some insiders say, is exactly what caused the Queen’s growing unease.
“She broke every mold,” said one former royal staffer. “Where other royals followed protocol, Diana followed her heart — and that didn’t sit well with the Queen, who valued duty over emotion.”
Tensions reached their peak in the early 1990s. Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles was unraveling publicly, and her growing independence — especially her solo charity work, her tell-all interviews, and her direct appeal to the media — was seen by some at Buckingham Palace as a threat to the institution.
According to royal biographer Helen Worsley, the Queen’s so-called "attack" came in the form of withdrawing royal protection, limiting Diana’s engagements, and applying pressure for her to lose her HRH title after the divorce. “It was calculated,” Worsley explains. “The monarchy was sending a message: there are consequences to defying the Crown.”
The most famous moment came after Diana’s 1995 BBC Panorama interview, where she openly discussed Charles’s affair with Camilla Parker Bowles and claimed, “There were three of us in this marriage.” The Queen was reportedly furious — not just at the content, but at the fact that Diana had done it without approval from the Palace.
Shortly after, the Queen wrote a rare and direct letter to both Charles and Diana, urging them to divorce. “It was her way of regaining control,” said a palace aide. “Diana had gone off-script one too many times.”
And yet, despite what some call an “institutional attack,” the Queen never completely rejected Diana. Those close to the late monarch say she felt torn — frustrated by Diana’s unpredictability but deeply saddened by her personal suffering.
“She wasn’t attacking Diana out of cruelty,” Worsley adds. “She was defending the monarchy. But in doing so, she may have underestimated the power Diana held in the hearts of the people.”
After Diana’s tragic death in 1997, the Queen faced one of the greatest public backlashes of her reign for not responding immediately. It was then, under immense pressure, that she delivered a live televised tribute — a moment many saw as her final acknowledgment of Diana’s irreplaceable legacy.
