Princess Diana's Remarkable Christmas Dinner Comment That Left the Royal Family Speechless

Princess Diana stunned the royal family during a tense Christmas dinner at Sandringham by questioning the relevance of the monarchy in a federal Europe. The family members brushed over her comments and continued with their discussion, leaving Diana feeling that the monarchy was outdated and claustrophobic. Diana's strained relationship with the royal family has been well-documented, and she believed that the institution would crumble unless it changed. Diana and Prince Charles divorced in 1996, and she tragically died in a car accident the following year.
