How The Late Princess Diana Found Comfort In The Occult

How The Late Princess Diana Found Comfort In The OccultBritish royal family news divulges that the late Diana, mother of Princes William and Harry, had a novel way of coping as her marriage to King Charles disintegrated.

The mother of two died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 but in the late 80s and early 90, she “relied on psychics, spiritualists, astrologers, energy healers, and more for comfort and guidance.” Here’s what to know about Diana’s unconventional choices.

Royal Family News: How The Late Diana Coped

According to Vanity Fair, energy healer Simone Simmons was one of those who tried to help Diana before her tragic early death: “It was quite a sight. Inside her Kensington Palace apartment, Diana, Princess of Wales, lay on her coffee table with her shoes off … Simmons had just cleansed the apartment of bad energies. She was exhausted, having spent 40 minutes alone, clearing all the negativity from the marital bedroom of Diana and the then Prince Charles.” Oof, maybe too much information?

The outlet notes that this was a “typical day for Princess Diana, whose calendar was crowded with appointments with psychics, spiritualists, astrologers, energy healers, palmists, tarot readers, and dowsers. Desperate to solve her problems and seeking comfort and guidance, Diana also indulged in … colonic irrigation, reflexology, aromatherapy, acupuncture, and hypnotherapy.”

Royal expert Sally Bedell Smith thought that Diana’s choices were a “cry for help” and her bodyguard Ken Wharfe agreed: “Diana was in the thrall of all these mad psychics.”

How did Diana decide to go down this path? Apparently in 1986 Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York started the ball rolling with an introduction to astrologer Penny Thornton who “read Diana’s chart, noting that she was a Cancer sun with Libra rising and an Aquarius moon.”

Thornton recalls that she advised Diana to go from being “a passive victim to an active member of the royal family who was equal to her husband. I suggested she used her suffering to relate to those who also suffered. I think you could say it worked.”

Another professional helped by taking “Diana out of the twentieth century and back in time through fossils taped to her body, or make her sit and renew her energy in a stone circle.”

In Bedell Smith’s Diana: In Search of Herself, the author notes that through her work “Diana believe(d) she had communicated with her alleged former boyfriend Barry Mannakee, her uncle Baron Fermoy, and her grandmother Countess Cynthia Spencer, who she felt looked after her from the spirit world … and believed that, in a past life, she had been both a nun and an ancient Christian martyr.”

Diana spent a ton of money trying to gain insight into her life but Bedell Smith claims that she was “often ambivalent about their validity.”

Tell us royal fans, what do you think the late Diana would be like today had she lived?
