After the couple tied the knot in 1981, all eyes were on them.
They were a fixture in the media and popular culture.
Charles and Diana were separated for four years before they signed divorce papers.

It was made public that they had finally cut all ties on August 28, 1996.
Prior to their separation, however, rumors were swirling that they were having marital troubles.
Now, we are learning that it may have affected him more than we knew.

“The day afterward?
Yes,” Simmons says.
She said, ‘Simone, I never wanted to divorce Charles.
I always loved him.'"
He continued, “I feel that Charles has been badly done by it actually.
But the public, by and large, I think condemn him for having failed.”
