Now calling Diana a whore is actually the most disrespectful thing that you could say !!!

She was the people's Princess
The one who rolled her sleeves up and helped the common people.

Seriously after years of Charlie's cheating she found comfort in others arms. How is this being a whore ??

Shame on you . Maybe we should feel sorry for how you think

I now know you are female with a huge crush on Charlie and probably have been since you were a young girl
