play in their future. diana s fears weren t out of left field, either. her own mother had been denied cut of her children. so diana was drawing from her own personal experience about what would play out. the separation negotiations were seen by some of prince charles advisers as an opportunity to diminish her royal role. for example, denying her use of royal aircraft or downgrading the protocol required at diana s visits. but it looked like what it was, vindictive, spiteful and petty. diana emerged in really pretty good shape. she was now an independent royal operator, and she had a new reputation as a gutsy campaigner for the rights of single working mothers. it was only a matter of time before the tabloids printed an alleged conversation between the prince of wales and camilla parker bowles.

different lives already but now very publicly different separate lives. yes and the period before this they were leading separate lives. after the separation diana was able to do what she wanted to do. she had been terribly, terribly worried about whether she would be able to have custody of her sons and that, when the separation came, was fine. she was going to be able to do that. but more importantly she was able to carve out a role as a, you know, as a really independent royal operator. when we really saw her step into that last iteration of herself. yeah. thank you so much for the insight. we re looking for the new episode. don t miss the cnn original series diana tonight at 9:00
