By his own account, he lacked the courage to reject a loveless marriage; once in it, he lacked the discipline or grace to try to make it work. Instead of rebelling against his mother and the institution she represents, he seems to have turned his bitterness against his hapless bride. So the revenge Di now seeks fits all too well. If she succeeds in her campaign to have the crown bypass him and go directly from Queen Elizabeth to young...
