Don't pay any attention.

And he made literally both sides of the aisle pay attention.

And the American public really paid attention.

I was watching, actually, I went to the garden party, which was wonderful.

And they just,

They just seemed like people who had stood above the fray, who we needed so desperately.

And Charles, you know, the King was seen in a different way.

So I was actually extremely pleased as a fan of his to see that he was finally, I mean, God, I'm only 75, whatever he is, getting some realization of what his role has actually always been.

Look, I mean, she was a child.

I mean, the thing about Diana, I mean, now that I have, you know, a daughter in her early 30s, I think, you know, Diana was 19 when she met Charles.

I mean, he was an old 32 and she was a very young 19, you know, bopping about in a sort of Sony Walkman while he was, you know, meeting Lawrence Vanderpost for dinner.

You know, it was such a kind of

awful thing.

I mean, they'd met 13 times when they got married.

So these things today just feel genuinely cruel.

It was cruel.

Plus, she was the only one in the setup who didn't realize it was an arranged marriage.

I mean, you know, he was in love with somebody else.

So put it all together.

And it was a very cruel situation for Diana, I think.
