The interview was conducted in November 1995, two years before her tragic death. The royal opened up about her marriage to Prince Charles and raising her two sons under so much pressure.
Interestingly, she gave her two cents about her husband's affair, which was an open secret at the time. At the start of the interview, when asked how prepared she had been to marry into the royal family. She said:
"At the age of 19, you always think you're prepared for everything, and you think you have the knowledge of what's coming ahead."

Diana further added that she felt she had the support of her husband-to-be. Over the course of the interview, however, the late princess described how isolated she felt as the years went by.
She explained that the media and fame were not easy to handle initially, but she soon understood her sense of responsibility along the line. Diana added that she got her strength during a trip to Australia and New Zealand with her husband, Prince Charles.
She also revealed that she would like William to take her place.

Though the interview started on a calm note, it soon moved on to turbulent waters as Diana soon began to reveal great details about her husband's affair with his ex-girlfriend, Camilla Parker-Bowles.
It was speculated that the affair was the real reason behind her scandalous divorce from Prince Charles in 1992. When asked to clarify the sensitive subject, the Princess said:
"Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded."
