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 👧
