Britain's late Princess Diana staged a confrontation with her husband's long-time lover, Camilla Parker Bowles, saying she knew about the affair with Prince Charles, according to audio tapes aired on Thursday.
"I was terrified of her," the princess was heard to say on the tapes, which were played on NBC's "Today" program. "And I said, 'I know what's going on between you and Charles and I just want you to know that.'"
The confrontation, which took place in 1989 at a party, occurred when Diana interrupted a conversation between Parker Bowles, the prince and another male guest.
"And I said to the two men, 'OK, boys, I'm just going to have a quick word with Camilla and I'll be up in a minute.' And they shot upstairs like chickens with no heads and I could feel upstairs all hell breaking loose: 'What is she going to do?'"
The princess said Parker Bowles had a "very interesting" response.
