Princess Diana

I'm not afraid to be with others. I think it's important to connect with people.

Of course [we're in love]. Whatever 'in love' means.

He said: 'Will you marry me?' and I laughed. I remember thinking, 'This is a joke,' and I said: 'Yeah, OK,' and laughed. He was deadly serious. He said: 'You do realize that one day you will be queen.' And a voice said to me inside: 'You won't be queen but you'll have a tough role.' So I thought 'OK,' so I said: 'Yes.' I said: 'I love you so much, I love you so much.' He said: 'Whatever love means.'

The night before the wedding I was very, very calm, deathly calm. I felt I was a lamb to the slaughter. I knew it and couldn't do anything about it.

As I was walking down the aisle of St. Paul's on my father's arm, I thought, 'What on Earth am I doing here?'

Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.

Charles must be wearing beer goggles to have an affair with Camilla.

People think that, at the end of the day, a man is the only answer. Actually, a fulfilling job is better for me.

I don't think I was happy... I think [it was] the worst day of my life.

The day I walked down the aisle at St. Paul's Cathedral, I felt that my personality was taken away from me, and I was taken over by the royal machine.

You fill your stomach up four or five times a day — some do it more — and it gives you a feeling of comfort. Then you're disgusted at the bloatedness of your stomach, and then you bring it all up again. And it's a repetitive pattern which is very destructive to yourself.

I was crying out for help, but giving the wrong signals, and people were using my bulimia as a coat on a hanger. They decided that was the problem — Diana was unstable.

I'd like to be a queen of people's hearts, in people's hearts, but I don't see myself being the queen of this country.

I would like a monarchy that has more contact with its people -- and I don't mean by riding round bicycles and things like that, but just having a more in-depth understanding.

I was unwell with post-natal depression, which no one ever discusses, post-natal depression, you have to read about it afterwards, and that in itself was a bit of a difficult time. You'd wake up in the morning feeling you didn't want to get out of bed, you felt misunderstood, and just very, very low in yourself.

We had to try harder in the marriage.

I had no idea what royal marriage really meant.

Being a princess isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I was always told by my family that I was the thick one. That I was stupid and my brother was the clever one. And I was always so conscious of that. I used to go to the headmistress crying, saying I wish I wasn't so stupid.

I am not a political figure, I am a humanitarian figure, always was, always will be.
