Towards her later years, the then Princess of Wales repeatedly fired staff from her household for a seemingly endless list of arbitrary reasons.

Without the royal straitjacket Harry was now able to say what he wanted and he took full advantage by delivering a slew of devastating and damaging 'truth bombs'.

Over the course of her past year battling cancer , the Princess of Wales has come to rely on her mother Carole Middleton perhaps more than at any other time in her life.

When it comes to crises in the Royal Family , the past few years have been dominated by Prince Harry 's decision to marry Meghan Markle and leave the UK.

When a royal couple gets engaged before they really get to know each other, it often has disastrous results.

At the end of every day during her record-breaking 70-year reign, Queen Elizabeth II would sit down at a desk and spend 15 minutes writing by hand in her diary.

Meghan Markle looked far more like a celebrity than a royal last week as she attended a glitzy showbiz event in Beverly Hills in a strapless black gown with a front slit.

The Queen may have modernised many aspects of the monarchy during her 70-year reign, but she could still be a traditionalist from time to time.

In 2006, the late Queen made the unprecedented move of inviting an 'unregistered' girlfriend for the first time - Prince William's partner Kate Middleton.

Meghan Markle 's disapproval surrounding the institution of the Royal Family appears to have never been far from the surface.
