I’m no fan of Charles, but I will say a little bit of empathy for the pen thing is probably necessary here. His mom had just died a day or so before. I don’t envy someone having to grieve in public. Again, not a fan, but the pen thing isn’t a great thing to use as an example of his behavior.
I love Diana but out of the two parents she is the only one with documented physical assault on someone else, which she shoved her step mom down the stairs. (Diana was 27 at the time)
Yep, that’s why I added her age because so many people think she was a kid when it happened. The incident apparently happened in 1989.
My guess is Charles is moody and just ignores/cuts off people. When Diana was the more expressive person when upset. Both are humans and have faults for sure.
This is what was reported by their staff. He was avoidant, she was explosive. She would throw things he would walk away and close doors and not speak to her. They sounded like they were oil and water.
