Princess Diana told how she threw herself down a set of stairs and the Queen was “absolutely horrified” and “shaking” when she found her, in a recorded interview.
The Princess of Wales made a series of tapes for biographer Andrew Morton, in 1991, ten years into her marriage with Charles where she spilled out the troubles in their relationship including her sense of betrayal and suicide attempts.
For many royal fans at the time, the marriage between Charles and Diana still appeared to be a fairy tale as it was before all the revelations of infidelity on both sides came out.
