      That is exactly what I am saying.
      1. Concerning Diana's popularity- SOME OF IT was problematic, because the paparazzi were very invasive. But her popularity with the public on Walkabouts was not a problem. The Public had shown similar adulation towards the Queen.
      2. Concerning Charles and Camilla- Charles met and obviously liked Camilla when he was about 20, and she was mentioned, among other, as a possible match. But he went away with the navy and she married an handsome Cavelry Officer, who was always a "ladies' man"
      Charles maintained a friendship with both of them, and had a brief relationship with Camilla in about 1978. At the time he was traumatised over the assassination of his uncle and his trip to Ireland to identify and bring home three bodies.. So what happened with Camilla was comfort, rather than a grand Romance. She just happened to be there when he needed someone.
      Six years after the marriage to Diana, when Diana had proved to be an incredibly bitch, neurotic, self-harming, attention-demanding and promiscuous, two of Charles' friends (who Diana had isolated from him) asked Camilla to find out why he was in such a state of depression.
      Well, the marriage had ended two years earlier when Diana was found in "a compromising situation" with her security officer. While pregnant with Harry.
      So Camilla came back into his life and had been there ever since. .
      3. The various stories that you hear about Charles wearing cufflinks she gave him, Diana finding a present for her, Diana overhearing a phone conversation .....There are explanations which I will not go into right now.
      Just let me say that Diana had been paranoid all her life... and it took very little to make her feel that she was being neglected, abused or cheated on. ....

      It’s not surprising given her love and talent for dance. Most girls born into British aristocracy were (still) given piano, dance, language, horse riding lessons etc as conditioning for future roles in society as wives. Most (still) don’t get professional degrees in law, medicine, science etc but in arts. She prob could’ve played the entire piece quite well but had to save Charles’ fragile ego. Maybe she knew showing true musical talent didn’t fit with the public image being sold by BRF/The Firm to avoid her ever outshining the future king. Charles was prob lectured her later in private and made sure his staff prevented that ever happening again. Its the way he was raised.

      @ac McG No. Although The Crown is based off the Royal family, it is a dramatization. However, Diana has verbalized most of the accounts on her own throughout interviews and tapes.
      Diana loved playing the piano and was very accomplished. She practiced dance and did want to be a professional dancer until she was too tall.
      It is well documented that Charles was jealous of Diana’s popularity. He often criticized her and said horrible things to knock her down. He did verbally, mentally and emotionally abuse her.
      There are so many videos of Diana’s life and times available on YT as well as books to read.

This isn’t Beethoven’s Fur Elise, or Mozart’s Turkish March - this is music that transcends the amateur and reveals a musical aptitude of considerably greater depth. Very impressive.

      Ho Hum! The word that you are looking for is "envious" not "jealous". They really do mean two different things.
      I really doubt if Charles was envious about her piano playing. THe reason that she was MUCH more competent
      was that she had pino lessons in her childhood and teens from avery competent Grandmother. She continued to practice piano after her marriage, because a place like Buckingham Palace has pianos in numerous rooms.
      On the othe hand, Charles had studied cello for a short time in hiis teens, then went to Australia for a year, then went into the Navy and has probably not played again.

She was everything he wasn't: beautiful, talented, intelligent, personable, compassionate. She would have made a wonderful queen.
