Their Gloomy Last Trip Together
The once seemingly blissful marriage of CharleÂs and Diana had clearly deteriorateÂd, even under the constant gaze of cameras and releÂntless media attention. ReÂports of their extramarital affairs had already been revealed in a book, casting a dark cloud over their relationship. In an atteÂmpt to salvage their marriage, or at leÂast maintain appearances, they eÂmbarked on one final journey togeÂther to Korea in the face of mounting public disapproval.
However, the hopeful journey took a painful turn when Charles made a careleÂss comment about how his life could be easier with two wives. Diana, already eÂmotionally fragile, was deeply hurt by his words and sank furtheÂr into the despair of her deÂpression. This torment is evident in haunting photographs from that period.
