Princess Diana

It is Princess Diana who laid the foundations of today's "modern" royal family.

For the British royal family, marriage has been a means, not an end.
Throughout history, most marriages have been based on a relationship of interest, and most members of the dynasty were married in the interests of the British royal family.
To become a member of the royal family, you must be white, Anglo-Saxon (English) and Protestant, plus you must come from a noble family. Being a widow is considered a misdemeanor.
Extra care is taken if the chosen spouse is to be the crown king or queen. The siblings who are not heirs, that is, who have no chance to take the throne, are given more tolerance to the people they marry because they will not be the head of the royal family.
Elizabeth's uncle became the first king to renounce her royal title and royal rights for her American widowed lover, Wallis Warferf Sipmson.

At the same time, Elizabeth II went against her family and married Philip, whose family roots were in Greece and Denmark. But he is also a prince from the royal family, his mother's grandfather is English and he takes his grandfather's surname "mountbatten" in order to marry Elizabeth II and enter the British royal family. That's why the family accepted this marriage.
For the moment, the thought that Elizabeth is not the heir is dominant. When Elizabeth II turned 18, she was not able to receive the title of Welsh princess, because only male crown princes in the British royal family can be the Welsh prince. The title of Welsh princess is also given to the prince's wife.

Elizabeth II, who had no brother, ascended to the throne. Philip's title was also discussed a lot at the time. While the king's wife was given the title of "queen," Philip was given the title of "prince" because the title of "king" is higher than that of "queen." Even though the title of all persons who have become spouses of their queen is not English, they have always been "prince consort". Moreover, although the couple wanted to use the surname "mountbatten", the government did not allow it.

If we come to Prince Charles in the light of this information; Charles is a prince with an obscure and passive character. Although his uncle admired Edward the 8, he could not be as cowardly as he was. He had to obey his mother. He was in love with Crown Prince Camilla Parker Bowles, who was raised with strict rules from his childhood. Parker Bowles was not the queen candidate the Royal Family wanted. Also, Prince Charles was not thinking of marriage at that time. This is why Parker Bowles married Andrew Parker Bowles.

Despite this, their relationship continues until the years before Prince Charles married Diana. Meanwhile, the royal family started searching for the flirtatious prince for the new crown princes, and Lady Diana Spencer was found reasonable. Diana was the best candidate to fit into the Royal Family. As a count's daughter, she had the title of "lady" by birth. When Diana Spencer first met Prince Charles, she was dating Prince Charles Diana's older sister. Although there are rumors that Diana's sister coveted her lover, the truth is that Diana's older sister did not want to be a queen or join the royal family. When Diana was going to marry Prince Charles, there was no resentment between them. Long after they met, Lady Diana began to like the Prince. When the Queen pressured Prince Charles to marry, the Prince inevitably agreed to the marriage. Lady Diana, on the other hand, is in love with Prince Charles and this is why she accepted the marriage.

The increased press attention during the engagement process started to wear down Diana and have negative effects on her psychology. Although Diana wanted to give up marrying, it is not easy to leave the family after the step taken with the royal family, and Diana did not want to bring any words to her family. Spencer never wanted to bring a bad word to his family. She continued her title of "Princess of Wales" and her marriage after a while only for "service to the country".

Prince Charles, who received the promise of "divorce in 5 years if you wish", started to bridge the bridges in his marriage to Princess Diana with the birth of the second male crown Prince Harry. Princess Diana, whose wishes or thoughts were often ignored, was subjected to a lot of psychological violence throughout her marriage. The disease tended to increase in bulimia nervosa after entering the Royal Family. The intense media attention and the indifference of her husband Prince Charles drove the Princess into great depression. Diana's influence on the public has been more and more positive than the influence of the Royal Family. Prince Charles and the Queen were disturbed by this. The Princess, who seeks the love she could not find in her home elsewhere, is now the beloved of the people. The fact that Diana embraced the press after a while and began to feed on the press, which she had initially escaped, was actually a huge problem, because at a point things turned into stubbornness with the Royal Family. Broken threads, divorce and accident ... A funeral ceremony that had to be held due to the reaction of the public. Diana, who lost her mother at a young age, was in love with Prince Charles. When he could not find the attention he was looking for, he was disappointed and his psychology deteriorated. An example of how she threw herself down the stairs while she was pregnant, struggling to gain attention and make her voice heard.

Even if he tried to meet with the Royal Family on a common point, he could not get any results. Nevertheless, Diana broke down the walls built between the royal family and the people, getting into and in contact with the people. Along with Diana, the Royal Family began to pay more attention to the voices of the public. Many things today are in a state of change and transformation within the dynasty, not as hard and rigid as before. Princess Diana, who has passed away tragically, is still fondly remembered today. It triggered the change in the Royal Family and paved the way for the next dynasty members.
Rest in peace!
