Royal Family Interviews So Awkward You Can't Look Away

Royal family interviews don't always go according to plan. In fact, over the years, members of the royal family have had some pretty awkward moments in front of the camera. These are some of the cringiest interviews they've ever given. In 1981, Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer announced their engagement to the press. However, within a matter of minutes, what started out as a sweet love story evolved into a cringe-worthy mess. When asked by the interviewer if they were in love, Diana replied, quote, "Of course!" Charles, on the other hand, quickly retorted, "Whatever 'in love' means." Caught off guard, Diana laughed uncomfortably at Charles' comment before the interview carried on. Years later, we would find out how Princess Diana really felt about her fiancé's response. The princess revealed in a taped interview used in the documentary Diana: In Her Own Words, "That threw me completely, I thought, 'What a strange answer.' It absolutely [traumatized] me." Charles' response may have seemed insensitive, but his biographer, Sally Bedell Smith, doesn't think so, as she told People, "It was a totally inappropriate thing for him to say, but understandable given the way his mind worked and the kind of things he had said in prior years. [...] He can over-think things and was thinking out loud. I don't see it as a cynical, cruel statement." Either way, it was certainly an awkward royal family interview.
