One element of truth is how little time Prince Charles and Lady Diana had spent together before their engagement in February 1981. Prince Charles slams her as 'barely in a fit state psychologically to see the hairdresser, let alone represent the crown'. Meanwhile the press praise her as reaching new heights without her husband Prince Charles. When they are united after her trip, Prince Charles tells her that her 'capacity for self-delusion never ceases to amaze me.' According to Junor, Charles did become increasingly frustrated by what he saw as Diana being 'in competition' with him.
