“Is it time for the Princess of Wales to dump Charlie?” That’s the question WWD posed on November 16, 1992, months after Andrew Morton published his shocking biography, “Diana: Her True Story,” which exposed Prince Charles’ affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles. Here, the amusing responses.
Karl Lagerfeld: “I think Diana should stay with Charles as long as she wants to have the crown. If he freelances, why shouldn’t she? But discreetly, to keep the image okay, so please no imitations of the Duchess of York.”
Norman Lear: “It’s too bad Bill Clinton’s already taken. He’d be a great guy for her.”
Chevy Chase: “She should definitely dump Charles, and take up with Sean Connery as quickly as possible. Now there’s a man who could be King.”
Lady Anne Somerset: “As Henry VIII got divorced, I don’t see why Diana shouldn’t.”
Aldo Pinto: “Dump him? What for? Has she got another one? You usually don’t leave unless you have something really interesting that’s better.”
Drew Barrymore: “I think she should do what she wants.…I would not put her with anyone. It just seems like she needs some time on her own.”
Matthew Rolston: “I’d put her with Prince. Then she could keep her name.”
Tatum O’Neal: “Why another man? Why not a woman?”
Mary McFadden: “I see her with someone like maybe Matt Dillon or maybe Donald Trump.”
Goldie Hawn: “Are they not getting along?”
