Princess Diana: I'm so miserable now (Spitting Image videoclip)


"Spitting Image" was "a British satirical puppet show that aired on the ITV network from 1984 to 1996" (source: Wikipedia). Nobody was off limits, including the Royal Family. Below is a 1992-93 clip in which Princess Diana bemoans her miserable life with Charles:


To put this clip in context, Andrew Morton's explosive biography of the princess had been published earlier that summer, which extensively cataloged her despair over her loveless marriage. In addition, the so-called "Squidgy tapes" had been leaked, in which Diana discussed her miserable Christmas with the royals.

 And yes, that is Jimmy Saville introducing Diana.
