The war between Princess Diana's mother and father rivaled anything she experienced with Charles.
Princess Diana’s mother was Frances Shand Kydd. Frances was born as Frances Ruth Burke Roche January 20, 1936, the same day that King George V, Queen Elizabeth II’s grandfather, died. She was born at Park House, which is located on the royals’ Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. Frances father was Maurice Roche, who was the 4th Baron Fermoy, a noble title in Ireland. Maurice was also a friend of George VI, Elizabeth’s father.
Frances and John separated in 1967 after around 13 years of marriage. “We just drifted apart and there was nothing either of us could do about it,” Frances said, according to the Telegraph’s obituary. She went on to date Peter Shand Kydd, the heir to a wallpaper fortune in Australia, whom she met at a dinner party the year before her separation from John.
