Appearing on Nigel Farage’s Talking Pints on GB News, Ms Seward said: “I think he’s had a very difficult time.”

“He’s constantly overshadowed by the ghost of Diana, and I think Diana would hate that.”

“She would hate the way that she is being perceived as this person that is stalking him.”

In 1994, Prince Charles took part in an unprecedented interview, in which he admitted to committing adultery during his marriage to Princess Diana.
