btw: Diana didnt cross any lines where her kids were concerned, those kids knew that their mother was being replaced, you can be sure of that. Kids arent dumb.

You must know it's not as one-sided as that. Charles wasn't allowed to marry the woman he wanted to marry. He did not have the choices in life that the rest of us have, and it's not something 90% of us would ever have put up with. It was a shame that the marriage didn't work out, but let's not pretend that there wasn't fault with both sides, and Diana admitted to affairs as well. There is plenty of speculation about the father of Prince Harry, and without wishing to sound crude, he looks nothing like Charles and a lot like James Hewitt. According to Diana, the affair between herself and Hewitt began in 1987, but Hewitt reckons it was '81 or '82. It all depends who you choose to believe!
I disagree that she got treated badly from the start - there's no evidence for that as far as I can see, and it's not a commonly held view here. And she was never going to be the Queen - just the King's wife - not the same thing!
Also kids aren't dumb, for sure, but I'm also sure that they didn't really want their parents' private lives exposed on the TV for the world's attention. They are also extremely attached to their father.
