My understanding was that she was not considered aristocratic enough to be a future Queen, and was known to be 'happy to bed, before she wed'. Neither were considered suitable nor desirable traits for the wife of the heir at the time. She was not a virgin and people knew it. An indavidual's privacy was the worst kept secret in society.
We musn't forget, it was the early 80's and at the time, the institution was still only starting to find it's feet in a modern era. Tradition was still very much at the forefront, and observance of that tradition remained pivitol to the key players (senior members of the royal family and senior Household staff who had been in service for some considerable time by then).
