Despite the fact that the marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana was far from the fairy tale that people had hoped it would be, one royal expert believes that the late Princess did not actually want the marriage to end.

"I believe they remained engaged after their separation in 1992. I don't think Princess Diana really wanted to give up," Emma Cooper, executive producer of the CNN documentary "Diana," told Us Weekly. In fact, she said, 'You're separated, you should get a divorce. You should get a divorce.' And I think she never, never, never really wanted to do that. From all the testimonial evidence, told in her own words, it seems to me that it was hard for her." [To underscore the point that Diana did not take the divorce lightly, Cooper added: "I think it's important to note that Diana's divorce papers arrived on the same day that I received them. "The day Diana's divorce papers arrived, she was sitting alone at Kensington Palace and told [royal correspondent] Jenny Bond that the only thing she wanted to do was pick up the phone and talk to Charles. And I thought, 'She's the kind of person who can't get out of a marriage without feeling emotions. And actually, she was also wearing her wedding ring that day. They took a picture of her with her wedding ring on. So I don't think she walked away from that marriage." [Diana knew that Prince Charles had been seeing Camilla Parker-Bowles while he was married, but was told it was not true.

"[Diana] knew all the details about Charles and Camilla. 'Hysterical, hallucinating, obsessed. Hysterical, hallucinating, obsessed. She was right. ...... She was aware of everything, yet she kept being told that she wasn't really seeing what she was seeing.

What a horrible situation.
