Princess Diana Was a Spiteful Brat? Royal Relative Speaks Out! [VIDEO & REPORT]

The "People's Princess" has not found love in one of her royal relatives.

Sixteen years after the beloved princess' death, a fellow royal is breaking her silence on her true feelings towards Lady Di.

"She had enormous charisma, she was beautiful, she was very good at empathy with the general crowd...and she had no feeling at all for her husband or his family," says the Queen of England's former Lady in Waiting, Lady Pamela Hicks, in a new interview with Vanity Fair, "Quite the reverse!" She adds.

Lady Pamela Hicks, in a Vanity Fair profile-first cousin to Prince Philip, and a member of Queen Elizabeth II's 1947 bridal party-also explains why she was not quite fond of the world renowned princess.

According to Lady Hicks, Diana was really unkind to her husband, Prince Charles, during their marriage of fifteen years, commenting that the prince was a man who needed support and encouragement. She claims that his marriage to Diana "destroyed him," having him look grey, like a ghost. He has since remarried, long after his first wife's death, to present Duchess of Cornwall Camilla Parker Bowles, and has been doing well ever since.

The British royal, now 84-whose daughter, fashion designer India Hicks had been one of Diana's bridesmaids-said that Diana knew perfectly well her value to the public, reveling in their pity, and making it seem like she had been "cast to the wolves" upon her marriage into the royal family. She had also been given Queen Elizabeth's favorite Lady in Waiting, Sue Hussey, to assist in teaching the wayward princess the formal norms of the palace, but she would not have any of it. The Princess would instead want to tune in to her favorite music, and go to discos and jives, reckoning "she was the star."
