1
What effect did the depression have on your marriage?
2
Well, it gave everybody a wonderful new label.
3
It's Diana's unstable.
4
And Diana's mentally imbalanced.
5
And unfortunately, that seems to have stuck on and off over the years.
6
Are you saying that that label stuck within your marriage?
7
I think people used it. And it stuck.
8
Yes.
9
According to press reports, it was suggested
10
that it was around this time things became so difficult that you actually tried to injure yourself.
11
Is that true?
12
When no one listens to you or you feel no one's listening to you, all sorts of things start to happen.
13
For instance, you have so much pain inside yourself that you try and hurt yourself on the outside because you want help.
14
But it's the wrong help you're asking for.
15
People see it as crying wolf or attention seeking.
16
And they think because you're in the media all the time, you've got enough attention, inverted commas.
17
But I was actually crying out
18
because I wanted to get better in order to go forward and continue my duty and my role as wife, mother.
19
Princess of Wales.
20
So, yes, I did inflict upon myself.
21
I didn't like myself.
22
I was ashamed because I couldn't cope with the pressures.
23
What did you actually do?
24
Well, I just hurt my arms and my legs.
25
And I work in environments now where I see women doing similar things, and I'm able to understand completely where they're coming from.
26
What was your husband's reaction to this when you began to injure yourself in this way?
27
But I didn't actually always do it in front of him.
28
But obviously anyone who loves someone would be very concerned about it.
29
Did he understand what was behind the physical act of hurting yourself, do you think?
30
No, but then not many people would have taken the time to see that.
31
Were you able to admit that you were in fact unwell, or did you feel compelled simply to carry on performing as the Princess of Wales?
32
I felt compelled to perform.
33
Well, when I say perform, I was compelled to go out and do my engagements and not let people down and support them and love them.
34
And in a way, by being out in public, they supported me, although they weren't aware just how much healing they were giving me, and it carried me through.
35
But did you feel that you had to maintain the public image of a successful Princess of Wales?
36
Yes, I did.
37
Yes, I did.
38
The depression was resolved, as you say, but it was subsequently reported that you suffered bulimia.
39
Is that true?
40
Yes, I did.
41
I had bulimia for a number of years.
42
And that's like a secret disease you inflicted upon yourself
43
because your self-esteem is to low ebb and you don't think you're worthy or valuable.
44
You fill your stomach up four or five times a day, some do it more, and it gives you a feeling of comfort.
45
It's like having a pair of arms around you, but it's temporary.
46
Temporarily.
47
Temporarily.
48
Then you're disgusted at the blatantness of your stomach, and then you bring it all up again.
49
And it's a repetitive pattern, which is very destructive to yourself.
50
How often would you do that on a daily basis?
51
Depends on the pressures going on.
52
If I'd been on what I call an away day, where I'd been up part of the country all day, I'd come home feeling pretty empty, because my engagements at that time would be to do with people dying,
53
people very sick, people...
54
marriage is the problem, all that.
55
And I come home and it would be very difficult to know how to comfort myself, having been comforted lots of other people.
56
So it would be a regular pattern to jump into the fridge.
57
It was a symptom of what was going on in my marriage.
58
I was crying out for help, but giving the wrong signals.
59
And people were using my bulimia as a coat on a hanger.
60
They decided that was the problem problem.
61
Diana was unstable.
62
Instead of looking behind the symptom at the cause, what was the cause?
63
The cause was a situation where my husband
64
and I had to keep everything together
65
because we didn't want to disappoint the public
66
and yet there obviously there was a lot of anxiety going on within our four walls.
67
You mean between the two of you?
68
Mm-hmm.
69
Mm-hmm.
70
And so you subjected yourself to this phase of binging and vomiting?
71
You could say the word subjected, but it was my escape mechanism, and it worked for me at that time.
72
Did you seek help from any other members of the royal family?
73
No. You have to know that when you have bulimia you're very ashamed of yourself
74
and you hate yourself so and people think you're wasting food
75
so it doesn't you don't discuss it with people and the thing about bulimia is your Your weight always stays the same, whereas with anorexia you visibly shrink.
76
So you can pretend the whole way through.
77
There's no proof.
78
When you say people would think you were wasting food, did anybody suggest that to you?
79
Oh yes, a number of times.
80
What was said?
81
Well, it was just, I suppose you were going to waste that food later on.
82
You know, that was pressure in itself.
83
And of course I would, because it was my release valve.
84
How long did this bulimia go on for?
85
A long time, a long time.
86
But I'm free of it now.
87
Two years?
88
Three years?
89
A little bit more than that.
90
According to reports in the national press, it was at around this time that you began to experience difficulties in your marriage
91
and your relationship to the Prince of Wales.
92
Is that true?
93
Well, we were a newly married couple, so obviously we had those pressures too.
94
And we had the media who were completely fascinated by everything we did.
95
And it was difficult to share that load, because I was the one who was always pitched out front, whether it was my clothes,
96
what I said, what my hair was doing, everything.
97
It was a pretty dull subject, actually, and it's been exhausted over the years.
98
when actually what we wanted to be, what we wanted supported was our work and as a team.
99
What effect did the press interest in you have on your marriage?
100
It made it very difficult because for a situation where it was a couple working in the same job, we got out the same car,
101
shook the same hand, my husband did the speeches, I did the handshaking.
102
So basically we were a married couple doing the same job, which was very difficult for anyone.
103
unique and more so if you've got all the attention on you.
104
We struggled a bit with it, it was very difficult and then my husband decided that we'd do separate engagements.
105
Which was a bit sad for me, because I quite liked the company.
106
But there again, I didn't have the choice.
107
So it wasn't at your request that you did that on your own?
108
Not at all, no. The biography of The Prince of Wales, written by Jonathan Dimbleby, which, as you know, was published last year,
109
suggested that you and your husband had very different outlooks, very different interests.
110
Would you agree with that?
111
No, I think we had a great deal of interest.
112
We both liked people, both liked country life, both loved children, work in the cancer field, work in hospices.
113
But I was portrayed in the media at that time, if I remember rightly, as someone, because I hadn't passed any O-levels and taken any A-levels, I was stupid.
114
And I made the grave mistake once of saying to a child I was thick as a plank, in order to ease the child's nervousness, of which it did.
115
But that headline went all round the world.
116
And I rather regret saying it.
117
The Prince of Wales, in the biography, is described as a great thinker, a man with a tremendous range of interests.
118
What did he think of your interests?
119
Well, I don't think I was allowed to have any.
120
I think that I've always been the 18-year-old girl he got engaged to, so I don't think I've been given any credit for growth.
121
And, my goodness, I've had to grow.
122
Explain what you mean when you say that.
123
Well, er...
124
When you say...
125
When you say you were never given any credit, what do you mean?
126
Well, anything good I ever did.
127
Nobody ever said a thing.
128
never said well done or was it okay.
129
But if I tripped up, which invariably I did, because I was new at the game, a ton of bricks came down on me.
130
How did you cope with that?
131
Well, obviously there were lots of tears and one could dive into the bulimia and to escape.
132
Some people would find that difficult to believe that you were left
133
so much to cope on your own and
134
that the description you give suggests that your relationship with your husband was not very good, even at that early stage?
135
Well, we had unique pressures put upon us, and we both tried our hardest to cover them up, but obviously, it wasn't to be...

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
