Prince Charles and Princess Diana's "miserable" 1992 tour of South Korea has been viewed for years as the trip that put the nail in the coffin of their marriage. But in a new episode of the Daily Mail's Queens, Kings and Dastardly Things podcast, royal biographer Robert Hardman shared what it was really like on that fateful royal tour—and how what seems like a relatively minor incident was what actually made them separate.
Hardman, who was a new royal correspondent at the time for the Daily Telegraph, said that South Korea was his first-ever royal tour and an "eye-opening experience." He continued, "The thing that sticks in my mind was that, on the one hand, you had the royal soap opera. It was clear it wasn't an easy time for them."
