This day was undoubtedly a day of disaster for the British royal family, whose reputation was damaged to the greatest extent since World War II.
Because The Sun ran a bombshell on its front page.
The headline of the report was a string of red, shocking words - what qualifications does such a crown prince have to become the future monarch of Britain!
The spearhead is directed at the British royal family, directly at Prince Charles.
The report began with a statement from The Sun, which said it had obtained a recording of a conversation between Charles and his lover Camilla.
After technical analysis, it can be determined that the men and women in the recording are none other than Charles and Camilla.
Two conclusions can be drawn from the dialogue: first, Charles and Camilla were on vacation in the Mediterranean on a yacht at the time.
Secondly, Charles and Camilla also made love once during the interruption of the recording.
The second half of the report is a text description of the recording, which is the conversation between Charles and Camilla, including the conversation between the two in love.
Jeff is an ordinary office worker,
Every morning before going to work, he buys a copy of The Sun at the newsstand outside the community to pass the time on the subway.
Today, of course, is no exception.
However, when I walked to the newsstand, I didn't see the Sun on the shelf: "I said, old John, is there no Sun today?"
There was an uncle with glasses sitting in the newsstand, and he said without raising his head: "Sold out?"
Jeff thought he had misheard, every time he came in the past, there was still a big stack of newspapers on the shelf, why was it sold out today?
He was about to ask again, when old John closed the newspaper he was reading.
He handed the newspaper to Jeff and said playfully, "There's one last one here, you'll know what's going on after you've read it." ”
Pay with doubts.
Jeff eagerly opened the newspaper as he walked towards the subway station, and the next moment, his eyes were drawn to the headlines.
After a few minutes, he couldn't help but curse: "Bastard." ”
There was an unconcealable anger on his face, and the people next to him frowned at first when they heard the scolding, but when they saw the newspaper in his hand, they were all relieved.
Although in the past 10 years, there have been some voices in Britain to abolish the royal family.
But in the hearts of the vast majority of British, the royal family still has a high status, and Elizabeth II is also the monarch they respect.
It is the so-called deep responsibility of love.
While respecting, people also put forward higher moral standards for the royal family, something that can be very ordinary in ordinary people,
Put it on the royal family, and it will be infinitely magnified.
And cheating in marriage is not a trivial matter even for ordinary people, let alone in the royal family. In addition, there is another reason that is equally fatal -
Diana's super popularity in the UK!
Since marrying Charles, Diana's beauty, affability and passion for the world of philanthropy have made her very widely loved.
This affection even surpassed that of Elizabeth II.
To some extent, Diana has become the image of the British royal family, and it is she who maintains the royal family's status in the hearts of ordinary people.
Now Charles is not only cheating,
And bluntly said that he married Diana not because of love, but out of responsibility. How much damage a woman can do to such words.
There is no doubt that Jeff is already furious.
He couldn't help but be angry at Charles and the royal family's shamelessness, and also angry at Camilla, who acted as a third party, and she was also an unforgivable scourge.
It is said that Camilla had an affair with Charles as early as the early 70s.
Later, as Charles entered the Navy and Camilla married Andrew Parker Paules, the scandal ended.
Previously, although some media broke the news that Charles and Diana had a relationship crisis.
But no one thought of Camilla. Now it seems that Camilla is the culprit of Charles and Diana's emotional crisis.
Maybe it's because I'm worried that someone doesn't know Camilla,
The report also featured a special introduction to Camila and emphasized her status as a 'married woman', which was even more contemptible.
And at the same time of anger, he was also distressed, distressed by Diana.
In his heart, Diana was so beautiful and holy, and she deserved to be cared for by everyone, not such deception and betrayal.
In fact, it's not just Jeff.
People who see The Sun today, at least 8 out of 10 people think the same way, they can't stand such a thing.
So much so that public opinion quickly fermented in a short period of time.
And as time passed, this scandal of the British royal family quickly spread around the world, and everyone despised the shamelessness of the royal family.
Diana got all the sympathy.
At this moment, the "Daily Mail" revealed an almost suffocating news - Diana committed suicide by cutting her wrists and was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment!!
The report said:
On the day that The Sun exposed the recording of Charles and Camilla, Diana and Charles broke out into a heated argument at Kensington Palace.
Charles then drove out of Kensington Palace alone.
Half an hour later, Diana was found killing herself by slitting her wrists in the bathroom, when Diana had fallen into a coma and the water in the bathtub was stained red.
Fortunately, after being rushed to the hospital, he was out of danger.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately ignited the anger of all Britons, and many expressed their anger in different ways and means.
For example, making a phone call to a newspaper or expressing an opinion on a radio program.
Some radicals even threw stones directly at Buckingham Palace. This is a terrible event that has not been seen in more than 100 years.
The stone-thrower was arrested on the spot.
At the time of his arrest, the stone-throwers shouted loudly: Charles is a bastard, he will have retribution, and the British royal family should be sent to hell.
This scene and these words were recorded by the reporters present.
In the face of huge public pressure, the British royal family had to hold a press conference, but no members of the royal family appeared at the press conference.
It looks like it should be some official of the palace administration.
As soon as the official opened his mouth, he denied the rumors of Diana's suicide: there was no so-called suicide at all, and Her Royal Highness the Princess was just hospitalized with a high fever.
That's all, some people's imagination is just too rich.
Here, on behalf of the royal family, I would like to appeal to the relevant media to stop exaggerating and hyping up, and to know that even the royal family has the right to privacy.
And when it comes to Charles's cheating on Camilla,
The official also denied that all the current allegations were based on a so-called cassette tape, which is easy to fake.
Technical analysis is not 100% accurate.
We have reason to believe that this is an attempt to smear the image of the royal family, which may be some people who hate the royal family, or it may be a hostile foreign power.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the future monarch of the United Kingdom.
He has his own responsibilities, and these responsibilities include maintaining the image of the British state and the royal family. But we should also give him more space.
Because before the identity of 'crown prince', he was first and foremost a man of flesh and blood.
Of course, he is also a British citizen. As I said earlier, even the royal family has the right to privacy, and this right should not be violated.
The next day, the front page of The Sun ran the headline: He took everyone for a fool!
There is no doubt about the authenticity of the tapes, and the results were obtained by experts from the University of Oxford, using Charles's previous public speeches as a comparison.
If the relevant government departments want to re-authenticate the recordings, we are happy to cooperate.
As for the so-called right to privacy, I only have one thing to say, since you have received the support of the taxpayer, you must be subject to the supervision of the people.
Otherwise, please return all the food you have eaten and used.
Also, please don't take others for fools, the princess was just hospitalized because of a high fever?
In this matter, the royal family apparently adopted his usual lies and denials.
But people's eyes are clear, they have their own ideas and judgments, and such a clumsy lie will only show the unbearability of the royal family even more.
As the first media outlet to expose the royal scandal, The Sun must have been under a lot of pressure.
These pressures come from the royal family, those who are close friends with the royal family, and certain officials. But it is clear that The Sun has no intention of changing its stance.
And as The Sun said,
The royal family said: Princess Diana was only hospitalized because of a high fever. No one will believe this kind of lie without the slightest technical content.
The reason is simple, it is too much of a coincidence.
As soon as the media exposed Charles and Camilla's extramarital affair, Diana was hospitalized for her life?
You must know that Diana is only 30 years old and has always been in good health.
However, there are some different voices about the authenticity of the tapes, because it is relatively simple to forge them.
And The Sun has always been on the entertainment side.
Perhaps the tape was concocted by The Sun itself in order to increase sales, although this is unlikely.
Overall, the vast majority of Britons were not happy with the royal family's statement.
It even caused a bigger backlash to a certain extent, because people hate to be deceived, not to mention that this time it may be the royal family who lied.
Public opinion is still fermenting, and it is intensifying.
And that night, a video broadcast by Sky TV slapped the British royal family hard and told them the consequences of lying.
The footage of the video is a little shaky.
However, you can still see a man and a woman on the deck of the yacht more clearly, and can hear the sound of the sea and the content of the conversation between the two.
The footage is apparently edited and approximately 10 minutes long.
Although most of the time the two are either facing away from the camera or facing sideways to the camera, the limited number of times is enough for the audience to see their faces clearly.
Officially Charles and Camilla!
And there is a short scene of sex in the middle, and the posture of the two is quite hot. However, sensitive areas are blurred.
The next day, mainstream newspapers in the West were covered with the video.
The British royal family represents the image of Britain, and when such a scandal occurs, not only the British are outraged, but many officials and parliamentarians also feel humiliated.
Some lawmakers have publicly stated that they will revisit Charles' suitability to continue as heir to the throne.
The British's patience has reached its limit, as the Guardian replied to a young woman in a random interview on the street:
This incident made me very disappointed in the royal family.
They are just a bunch of liars, the only thing they will do but betray is to lie, and they accidentally except for them, everyone else is a fool.
It hurts me and they have lost my respect from today.
And until now, the crown prince has still not shown up, he can't act as if nothing has happened, he has to give an explanation to the public.
He had privacy, but not now.
The royal family must also apologize for the incident. Of course, they also have to tell us what's wrong with Her Royal Highness, she can't be as simple as having a high fever.
We need to know what he's doing.
Finally, I would like to say a word to Her Royal Highness: you must be strong, and all British people will support you, no matter what decision you make.
――――――――――――
There is no doubt that this is the worst crisis that the British royal family has suffered since World War II.
The royal family will forever lose the trust and respect of the British.
On May 12, Charles, who had disappeared for a long time, finally issued an apology statement, which was very short, but still relatively sincere.
He said: "I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt anyone, but the truth is the opposite of what I wanted.
Maybe I was wrong from the start, I don't ask for forgiveness, but please give me a little personal space, I need to deal with some unfinished business.
Although the statement did not directly admit to cheating on Camilla, it was also indirectly admitted.
However, the public's scepticism has not been tempered by the statement. If the royal family takes the initiative to admit it at the beginning and lowers its profile to apologize,
Maybe the public isn't so disgusted.
On May 14, Charles went to the House of Commons to be questioned by Parliament, during which a member of parliament asked Charles this question:
Do you think Camilla is fit to be the future queen of the United Kingdom?
The question left Charles speechless because it was wrong and unforgivable for him to answer 'suitable' or 'inappropriate'.
said yes, so where did he put Diana?
I guess all the British people can't help but spit in his face, but if it doesn't work, then why did he associate with Camilla?
Could it be that he was just having a fun time with Camilla?
In the end, Charles's answer was: I refuse to answer any hypothetical questions.
The whole questioning lasted for nearly one hour, and finally Charles walked out of the parliament building with a blushing face, obviously not a pleasant process.
This scene was also filmed by the waiting media.
On May 16, Diana divorced Charles in the hospital room, and according to the divorce agreement, both William and Harry were raised by Diana.
Charles pays monthly child support.
Diana, on the other hand, gets £5.7 million and a villa in London's Kensington borough. These were not requested by Diana.
She just asked for a divorce.
The first thing she did after waking up from her coma was to ask for a divorce from Charles, and this time no one tried to stop and dissuade her.
She used to think that she and Charles had a rift in their married life.
But in fact, it was far more cruel than she imagined, Charles had been deceiving her from the beginning, and she was just a tool for the royal family to reproduce.
It filled her with remorse.
On the spur of the moment, she slashed her wrist with a blade. The moment she saw the blood gushing out, she actually regretted it.
Because she thought of Wei Xiong.
Perhaps out of compensation, Charles didn't care about the division of assets.
£5.7 million plus a villa in Kensington already accounts for more than half of all his assets, knowing that he is not yet a king.
There is no power to use the assets of the royal family.
When he saw Diana sign the divorce agreement with her pale and bloodless hand, Charles only felt mixed in his heart.
And not the joy he expected.
By now, he was doomed to lose.
On May 17, Buckingham Palace issued an official statement saying that Charles and Diana had gone through divorce procedures.
And Diana will continue to retain the title of 'Princess of Wales'.
The statement also praised Diana's contributions to the royal family over the years, and regretted that she and Charles had come to this step of divorce.
This statement disappointed many.
Diana is a rare princess in the history of the British royal family, loved by almost all Britons, and is the idol of countless British women.
Think about the grand occasion of her marriage to Charles at the beginning, and then look at the present......
However, disappointed to disappointed, they still supported Diana and Charles' divorce because it was a marriage that had been wrong from the beginning.
――――――――――――
Hong Kong, as an international metropolis and a British colony, naturally continued to report on this incident, and the public's attention was also very high.
As the initiator of the whole thing, Wei Xiong didn't pay too much attention.
If he wanted to say that there was, it was also to pay attention to Diana's news, and he did not expect Diana to commit suicide to express her protest against Charles.
This annoyed him greatly.
The whole thing was operated by Tomoko Ishihara, who originally just wanted to stink Charles's reputation and pave the way for Diana's smooth divorce.
For this to happen, you don't need to be videotaped.
So he just asked Tomoko Ishihara to hand over the tape to The Sun. But Diana's suicide was all blamed on Charles.
So Sky TV received an anonymous package containing a box of videotapes.
Before the videotape was played, Sky TV reported to the Hong Kong head office for the sake of prudence, and then Ho Chaoqiong questioned Wei Xiong.
Wei Xiong's answer was to let Sky TV take care of it itself.
After the footage aired on Sky, he received a personal call from Charles, in which Charles asked him why he did it.
And he just innocently said that he didn't know about it beforehand.
