THE fairy-tale marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales is now an emotional drama.

Charles claims he was pushed into a marriage by his parents.

Diana, despite faults on both sides, would still honour the vow "for better, for worse".

With her support, Charles could be king.

Without her, he wouldn't rate very highly as a man, but as a king, never.
