Did Princess Diana ‘Escape From Lunch’ With The Royal Family During Christmas Celebrations? Here’s What We Know

As a devoted admirer of Princess Diana, I have always been captivated by the complexities and nuances of her life. The recent revelations about her strained relationship with the royal family during Christmas time serve as yet another poignant reminder of the emotional turmoil she faced while navigating the intricate web of royal expectations and traditions.

It’s been known that Princess Diana had a tense connection with the royal family. As Christmas nears, one media report suggests that the late princess might choose to forego the customary feasts with her relatives over concerns about being surrounded by unfavorable vibes.

Diana didn’t particularly enjoy the festival because it always brought back memories of leaving her mother. Yet, following her marriage, she found it challenging to create cherished holiday memories due to various factors involved.

In the latest installment of The Sun’s Royal Exclusive program, royal analysts Ingrid Seward and Arthur Edward discussed their findings on how Princess Diana might have handled the stressful family dynamics during holiday gatherings within the royal family. Edward commented, “For quite some time, Queen Camilla would typically depart after lunch and spend the rest of the day with her own family in Wiltshire.

As a faithful follower, I’d like to expand on Seward’s words: “During our times together, Diana typically departed after lunch. The royal family Christmases, when things were particularly difficult, were a source of great apprehension for her. In fact, she often managed to slip away even before lunch, choosing instead to attend the church services.

The co-host jokingly remarked that it was a constant occurrence, but it happened quite frequently. On one occasion, the princess actually rode by the royal advisor on a bicycle. Although Princess Diana didn’t have many influential connections within the palace, she would discuss matters with her hairdresser, Richard Dalton, and even confided in him about why she disliked spending Christmas at Sandringham estate.

During an interview with Kitty Kelley, the author about the royals, Dalton reminisced that Princess Diana disliked spending Christmas at Sandringham. He added, “She mentioned to me it was extremely cold and dinner had to end by 3 pm. ‘It’s 3, and now it’s time for me on TV,’ she would jest, mimicking someone you’re familiar with. The royal family were obliged to watch the Queen’s Christmas message on television. Diana referred to it as a mandatory performance.

Based on reports from individuals familiar with the late princess and media outlets, it appears that Diana experienced inner conflict while living among the royal family.
