All The Times Princess Diana Played By Her Own Rules

Showing her vulnerabilities

In the same BBC interview, Diana didn’t hold back when it came to discussing the struggles in her life and the tough times she had to overcome. She told the interviewer about her battle with bulimia which started as a result of the stress of keeping her marriage together stating, That’s like a secret disease … You inflict it upon yourself because your self-esteem is at a low ebb, and you don’t think you’re worthy or valuable … It’s a repetitive pattern which is very destructive to yourself.”

Her honesty and openness was something that the royals never showed and this was part of the determination of her sons to start their own mental health initiative.
