10 Nastiest Celebrity Divorces

By Scott Barstead /

10. Prince Charles And Princess Diana (1981-1996)

What appeared to be a fairy tale union complete with a Cinderella type wedding was ultimately hiding some very dark secrets. T he truth came out over the course of the marriage, where the rumors flew fast and thick: Charles was still seeing his ex-girlfriend, Camilla Parker-Bowles, Diana had her own extramarital affairs, she was unstable, he was disinterested, and so on, until the Press nicknamed them 'The Glums' on a 1992 trip to Korea. We may never know the entire truth, but the fact remains that because of their incredibly high profile marriage, their divorce was even MORE of a news story. Stories of the two functioning separately came out as early as 1992 and the Queen herself reportedly suggested divorce in 1995. The divorce was finalized in 1996, with Diana being stripped of the title 'Her Royal Highness', and awarded a £17 million settlement alongside £350,000 a year to run her office.
