The Daily Mail reports that Queen Elizabeth II increasingly avoided Princess Diana, describing her as “too excitable,” “too emotional,” and “unpredictable,” particularly as Diana’s divorce negotiations with Prince Charles progress.
According to the outlet, while Diana is portrayed as emotionally volatile in the article’s framing, she is also described as having a “shrewd grasp of legal tactics” once the divorce negotiations begin. The piece emphasizes Diana’s conduct and negotiating approach as factors that, in its view, shaped how the Queen related to her during this period.
Because only this single outlet is provided here, other perspectives or corroborating accounts are not included. The report’s claims therefore reflect the Daily Mail’s interpretation of events rather than a multi-source consensus on the specific reasons for the Queen’s alleged behavior.
