Love and divorce on screen, and away from it

Incredible as it may sound, some of the greatest love stories lead to some of the most tragic ends.

We have seen this in real life and in the movies too. The world rejoiced when Prince Charles and Diana, a commoner, fell in love and united in wedlock. The world viewed it as one of the most exciting unions that seemed like a ‘forever fable’.

But that was not to be. The excitement and enthusiasm of the royal wedding dissipated and dunked into despair when the two bickered and parted in what was a bitter battle. The reason, as Diana had often said, was a “marriage which was crowded”. There was a third person in it, Camilla Parker Bowles, who had always been there as Charles' girlfriend.

Now, nobody knows why the Prince wedded Diana and not Camilla in the first place! Diana remained a sad woman, and some years later she died in a deadly car crash in Paris. What a tragic end for a woman who was so vivacious and so full of life that twinkled.
