The wedding of Diana Spencer with Prince Charles was not only the talk of Great Britain but also the rest of the world. On July 29, 1981, about 3,500 guests participated in the ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, and 750 million people sat in front of their televisions.
The wedding was a big event, so it's no surprise that the media still revisits the grand ceremony to this day.
Karol gave Diana a mysterious note. What did he write in it?
Now, thanks to Penny Junor's book "The Duchess: Camilla Parker Bowles and the Love Affair That Rocked the Crown", we also know what happened before the wedding. On the night preceding this major event, Diana stayed with her sister in Clarence House, a royal residence located next to St. James's Palace. Prince Charles sent his betrothed a charming gift – a ring engraved with feathers of the Prince of Wales, adding a note to it:
I am so proud of you and if you come, I will stand at the altar for you tomorrow.
Prince Karol had doubts about the wedding
However, Penny Junor leaves no doubt that Prince Charles was not convinced about the decision to marry. Diana was said to be gloomy and moody in the last few days before the ceremony, which puzzled her future husband. But it was already too late to call off the grand ceremony.
The prince expressed hope that things between spouses would somehow work out after the wedding. Charles was not convinced that he did the right thing by marrying Diana, but there was no choice. He believed that after the wedding things would turn out differently and expressed hope for this reason – explains the writer.
