2. Princess Diana & Prince Charles
Messy break ups aren’t always publicized through the characters that reside in the Hollywood Hills, sometimes it takes place within the royal family. Our parents remember, the huge fairytale wedding in July 1981, that over 750 million people watched all over the world between Prince Charles and Princess Diana. The two had a pair of children together, Prince William and Prince Harry but only four years later, in 1985, trouble struck their marriage. Prince Charles had rekindled an old flame with Camilla Parker-Bowles, Princess Diana was suffering from an eating disorder (and destructive behavior), and the two virtually lived separate lives while performing their public and royal duties. Infidelity in combination with Diana’s personal troubles eventually led to the two divorcing in August 1996. Diana was able to retain her title of Princess of Wales, but relinquished her claim to the English throne. Tragedy had really yet to strike, when Diana’s death via a car accident happened just a year after her separation from Prince Charles.
