Prince Charles proposed to Diana in February of 1981 and they were married several months later. The marriage ceremony was shown around the words and watched by hundreds of millions of people. Soon after, their sons Harry and William were born. Unfortunately, there was trouble in paradise and rumors of extramarital affairs plagued the marriage. In particular, much scrutiny surrounded Prince Charles's friendship with Camilla Parker Bowles.

The couple separated in 1992. Diana was understandably upset when Charles revealed in a television interview after their separation that he never loved Diana. Ouch! Two years later, the couple were divorced.
