1. Ok, Diana wasnt exly a queen, but she was a princess and many of us viewed her as that but in a much larger capacity and role. Her marriage to Prince Charles, however, was a bit of a sticky wicket, as they would say in England. That translates into a difficult circumstance. The two grew as far apart as the age gap between them, which was 13 years. Less than five years into the royal marriage there were royal headaches for both of them, and infidelities began. Dianas death put conspiracy theorists to work. They cited Lady Di was intentionally killed because of her relationship with Dodi, an Egyptian Muslim, and Diana was said to be carrying his baby at the time of her death. The Royal Family was said to have some royal fits about that, and developed the plot to kill her. At the scene of the fatal car accident, the 24 traffic cameras posted inside the tunnel where the wreck occurred were suspiciously “not working” at the time. There was the transfer of body paint to Dianas Mercedes from a white Fiat Uno. French police have yet to find that vehicle. Mohamed Al-Fayed, in a statement to police, claims the white Uno was being used by M16 – the British Secret Intelligence Service – intentionally caused Dianas vehicle to swerve out of control. The driver, he said, was French photojournalist Jean-Paul Andanson, a security services agent who died in 2000. It is largely believed he was assassinated by French or British intelligence to silence him. Others believe he committed suicide because of guilt.\r

2. If there is anything we have learned from our history books, its that you dont piss off a king. And certainly, Henry Vİ was a king you didnt want to mess with. Catherine Howard, Henrys fifth wife, found out the hard way. As the story goes, Catherine had stirred up a romance with Thomas Culpeper in 1541. Catherine had called Culpeper, who was kings favorite male courtier, “my little, sweet fool” in a love letter. Henry was under the impression she was pure at the time of their marriage. She was not, and had had numerous lovers before Henry. During their marriage, which was said to have been a happy one early on, Catherine had become increasingly ually frustrated with Henry because of his advanced age and old injuries, which prevented him from being the bedroom stud she was yearning for. When all of her secrets were finally discovered, she was stripped of her rank and all privileges. She was charged with treason for committing adultery and beheaded on February 13, 1542.\r

3.A Saudi Arabian princess was in her teens when she married her much older husband, who was a member of the Saudi royal family. But she had an affair with a British man while in London. The princess, who has not been identified by name, knew she would surely face the death penalty if it was discovered, so she returned to the United Kingdom and was granted refugee status. She said, “‘The marriage was arranged by my father, who is a close friend to the royal family, and my marriage was a symbol of their friendship – according to custom, I was a gift.” Her fear of execution was well warranted, as in 1977, Princess Mishaal bint Fahd, who was 19, was executed by gunshot for committing adultery.\r

4.Hey! We told you not to piss off Henry Vİ. Seems like our previously mentioned Catherine would have learned that with what happened to Anne Boleyn, Henrys second wife. Anne, who served as Englands queen in the 1530s, was charged with incest, witchcraft, adultery and conspiracy against the king. She, too, was beheaded… and we can only assume the phrase “heads will roll,” came about during this time period. Anne was the second wife of Henry, marrying in early 1533. Later that year, she gave birth to a daughter, much to the contempt of Henry, who desperately wanted a son to carry on his royal lineage. Twice more she became pregnant, given still births each time. Henry was a bad boy and began ual relations with two of Annes maids-of-honor, Madge Shelton and Jane Seymour. With this, Anne was not happy – boiling into jealous rages. Henry told her he was on a mission to bear a son, but with Annes anger and resentment, the marriage fell apart. He then set Anne up on false charges, including incest, adultery and conspiracy. In May of 1536, she was unanimously convicted by a court and her public execution was held immediately.\r
