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 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 be…
