In the past, when royals flocked to Kensington Palace, it was more of a retreat. However, over the years, Kensington Palace became more secluded, and many royals who resided there became isolated, including Princess Diana. Princess Diana had spent years living in Kensington Palace, and during her bombshell Panorama interview, she spoke about feeling alone. She said, “It’s just by living at Kensington Palace, obviously, it is a little bit isolating, but, you know, maybe we all feel like that.” There was not much she could do when she lived in Kensington Palace, whether that was on purpose or not. It seems that Kensington Palace had strict rules in place.
It was at Kensington Palace where Diana famously said, “There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded,” which might be shocking, considering how far the palace tries to keep the royal’s lives as private as possible. However, it doesn’t seem like many knew about the bombshell interview. Princess Diana’s interview took place after the staff left for the night, and essentially, the reporters and equipment had to be smuggled in. It shows the lengths she had to go to to tell her story because she knew the palace and the rest of the family wouldn’t approve. The interview still brings surrounding controversy to this day as Princess Diana expressed her true feelings about the royal family and Kensington Palace.
