00:00The other thing that I wanted to mention again in your book, and it tells a slightly different
00:05version of events to the other one that's around, and that is the conversation that you had with
00:10Diana about Prince Charles, and it's not what I was expecting. No, well I was, as I said, I was
00:16very lucky to see Diana shortly before she died, not that obviously anyone knew that, but she was
00:22going out with Dodie, and I'd been to the Ritz with her, with Rain, so I knew the whole sort
00:31of set up, and I knew Dodie, and we talked about it, and she said, but she actually told me
00:37that
00:38she really loved Charles. He was the one she would always love. He was the one that got away, and
00:44she
00:44said, it's very important to me, Ingrid, that my boys know that their father loved me.
00:52It's really, really important, and she said, and of course, the world won't know, because
00:57they won't see the letters that we wrote to each other, so they're in the Royal Archive,
01:03but of course you have to wait 50 years, but Charles wrote her the most beautiful, beautiful
01:08love letters, in which he praised her, and talked about her, in the most loving way, saying,
01:15I think about your beautiful, long, brown legs. I mean, that's very charming, isn't it?
01:20Quite sexy, I suppose. But he did love her. He may not have loved her in the very beginning,
01:27and he may not have loved her by the end, but he always loved her, and he felt so bad
01:33that
01:33he couldn't make the marriage work. He was plagued by guilt, because he knew he was the
01:39old, you know, he was the one that should have made it work. But her intense jealousy, and
01:44you know, many, many other things, and they were just not suited at the time. But Diana
01:49also said to me, she thought, if they'd met when they were older, that they probably would
01:54have made it work, and conquered the world. That's what she loved to say. But I noticed
01:58that Harry and Meghan said the same thing.
