However, the true reaction from behind Palace walls has never been revealed to the public.<\/p>\n
Some snippets of it have come to light due to various royal watchers and sources with insight within the Palace, including British journalist and long-time columnist for the Sunday Telegraph, Kenneth Rose, whose private journals were posthumously released in 2018 and 2019, following his death in 2014.<\/p>\n
In them, there is one segment where he wrote about the late Queen\u2019s sister, Princess Margaret\u2019s reaction to Diana\u2019s divorce from the then-Prince of Wales.<\/p>\n
In an entry dated May 31, 1996, three months before the divorce was finalised, and serialised by the Daily Mail, Mr Rose wrote: \u201cPrincess Margaret says: \u2018How glad the family will be to be rid of the wives, Diana and Fergie.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It wasn\u2019t just Charles and Diana who divorced during that year.<\/p>\n
Sarah Ferguson, or Fergie, who was married to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who has now lost his titles and honours, also finalised her divorce with the former Duke in April 1996, a month before Margaret\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n
They had been married since July 1986.<\/p>\n
Andrew and Fergie kept a close relationship despite their divorce and have been living in Royal Lodge in Windsor since 2008.<\/p>\n
They are expected to leave the royal residence this year due to the furore following new details emerging regarding their relationship to convicted paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
