Yes the Carlings had only been married a little over a year when Diana came along to put a spoke in the works of their marriage.
I doubt she had an affair with Oliver Hoare, I think her obsession was one sided hence the multiple phone calls.
I’ve just found a transcript of the interview online - I genuinely thought it had been erased from the internet!
So re OH :
Bashir: “There were also a series of telephone calls which allegedly were made by you to a Mr Oliver Hoare. Did you make what were described as nuisance phone calls?”
Diana: “I was reputed to have made 300 telephone calls in a very short space of time which, bearing in mind my lifestyle at that time, made me a very busy lady.
No, I didn’t, I didn’t.
But that again was a huge move to discredit me, and very nearly did me in, the injustice of it, because I did my own homework on that subject, and consequently found out that a young boy had done most of them.”
I remember the next day meeting a friend who guffawed, “a young boy!! Very convincing. Pull the other one Diana!” I mean which young boy was meant to have done this? W or H???
One thing Meghan has in common with Diana is the ability to make bare faced lies on camera! (And Harry too).
There are other careful deflections from other difficult questions.
And she talked of cutting herself, arms and legs. I see patients with difficult histories and their arms are a criss cross of scars. Diana had beautiful skin, frequently exposed in evening gowns or on the beach. There’s no evidence of any scars. So that’s another one I never believed.
