Ahh, who could forget the shockwave when Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury announced their breakup?
We were all lowkey heartbroken because we really thought these two were the couple, like endgame vibes.
But, of course, life threw us a curveball (honestly, can’t be surprised at this point, right?).
While we all wanted the full scoop on their breakup, the couple is keeping things tight-lipped—saying it’s their business, and they’re entitled to that level of privacy. Respect.
But lately, Molly’s been a little more open about the split, sharing bits and pieces that have caught our attention.
What really grabbed me was when she mentioned how people have been comparing her breakup with Tommy to THE royal divorce—Princess Diana and King Charles, TheyGossip.com reports.
And you KNOW I couldn’t let that slide. I’ve gotta compare these two splits, dive into their love lives, and figure out once and for all if they actually are in the same league or if people are just out here wildin’ for no reason. I’m not going to be able to sleep until I get to the bottom of this
The Fairytale Start
First off, both couples started with major fairytale vibes. Molly and Tommy’s journey began on Love Island in 2019, and their chemistry was off the charts.
Fans were obsessed, believing they were the ultimate couple—perfect in every way, just like Diana and Charles, who, back in the ‘80s, had their own royal fairytale. Everyone thought their marriage was the picture of royal perfection.
Molly and Tommy
But here’s where it gets tricky: while Molly and Tommy were publicly adored, Diana and Charles had their own media circus around them.
Diana was the people’s princess, adored by millions, while Charles was already in the public eye for, well… not being the most beloved figure.
So, while both couples had that initial “golden couple” moment, the vibes were very different under the surface.
The Split Was Shocking But Not Unexpected
Now, onto the splits. Both broke hearts across the world. When Molly and Tommy announced they were done, fans were shook—like, seriously shook.
We all thought they were in it for the long haul. But if you take a closer look, their breakup didn’t come out of nowhere.
They had been living separate lives for a bit, with Molly focusing on her career (and, like, that massive empire she’s building), while Tommy was doing his boxing thing. It was clear something was off, but nobody expected them to actually call it quits.
Diana and Charles’ split, on the other hand, had been brewing for years, but people didn’t really see it coming until the press started dropping major hints.
Princess Diana and Charles
Their relationship had a lot of public ups and downs, and as we all know, their marriage was plagued by Charles’ affair with Camilla.
Diana tried to keep up appearances, but the cracks were showing—especially when she made that famous interview confession.
So, while both breakups were a blow to fans, Diana and Charles’ split had way more drama behind it, fueled by infidelity and intense media scrutiny.
Where It Gets Messy
Some are comparing Molly-Mae and Tommy’s split to the royal drama of Diana and Charles, but let’s be real—it doesn’t quite add up.
Diana and Charles had a messy, public breakup full of secrets, infidelity, and heartbreak, with Diana’s life becoming a media spectacle.
Molly and Tommy, though high-profile, didn’t have any major scandal or betrayal—it was just two people growing apart, with some occasional tabloid gossip.
Molly recently mentioned the comparison, but honestly, it feels more about the public’s perception than the actual situation.
Both couples had pressure to be the perfect couple, and both experienced heartbreak, but Diana’s heartbreak was next-level with the royal drama, while Molly and Tommy managed to stay relatively private despite their fame.
Royal vs Social Media
Diana and Charles were under the royal spotlight, with every move scrutinized by the press, while Molly and Tommy face the scrutiny of social media, where every post is analyzed instantly.
Diana’s press invasions were suffocating, and she suffered emotionally because of it. Molly, though vocal about the pressures, hasn’t faced the same level of invasive attention.

The Age Gap
Diana and Charles had a 12-year age difference, with Diana trying to fit into the royal mold, while Charles was emotionally detached, which led to their split.
Molly and Tommy, with just a 4-year difference, had different career paths that likely contributed to their breakup.
Molly’s rise as an influencer and entrepreneur was a different kind of pressure compared to Tommy’s boxing career, which eventually led them to grow apart.
Cheating
Charles’ affair with Camilla Parker Bowles was the main reason for his and Diana’s split, and it was a public scandal.
Molly and Tommy’s breakup, however, doesn’t involve cheating. Their split seems to be more about diverging goals and lifestyles, and they’ve handled it respectfully, which sets it apart from the messy drama of Charles and Diana.
Impact on Their Careers
Diana’s divorce had political implications and led her to become a global humanitarian and style icon.
Molly, on the other hand, has continued to grow her empire post-breakup, with her fashion brand and collaborations thriving, while Tommy remains focused on boxing.
Both have managed to thrive professionally, but Molly’s path is much more private compared to Diana’s very public journey.

Final Verdict: Not The Same
At the end of the day, while the comparisons are tempting, the reality is that Diana and Charles’ split was full of scandal and public trauma, while Molly and Tommy’s breakup feels like a natural parting of ways without any royal drama or cheating.
The comparisons are more about the public’s obsession with breakups than the actual situations.
These are two very different stories—one a royal scandal, the other a modern relationship running its course.
