Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ difficulties became clearer as the pair struggled through their marriage. Channel 5’s royal documentary Fergie Vs Diana: Royal Wives at War, explored the struggles Princess Diana had with her relationship with the Royal Family. One aspect that caused frustration for the Princess was her relationship with friend Sarah Ferguson.

Royal commentators noted how a strained friendship here also caused problems during her marriage to Prince Charles.

Royal commentator Kate Nicholl also explored the souring relationship between the two royal wives.

She said: “Princess Diana admitted that she got terribly jealous of Fergie.
