It’s no surprise that Diana took some time to get adjusted to her new life as Princess of Wales. The huge level of publicity and the high levels of expectations people had about their marriage added a lot of pressure to a marriage that was strained before it even started.

According to some estimates, 750 million people from 74 different countries tuned in to view what would be one of the most disastrous marriages in modern royal history.
They spared no expenses on the wedding
One of the most shocking revelations about Charles and Diana’s wedding was how he had proposed to her using a “commoner’s ring. When it came to the actual wedding however, no expenses were spared. In fact, their wedding is considered one of the most expensive in modern history and is estimated to have cost over $135 million, after adjusting for inflation from 1981.

Even though they were both aware of the implications of being part of the royal family, we can all sympathize with the huge amount of pressure they must have been under.
Charles forgot to kiss her
As one of the most newsworthy and expensive marriages, it’s no wonder that Charles and Diana were under incredible pressure. In fact, Charles was even so nervous that he forgot to kiss her at the altar. Many believe this is one of the many red flags that Diana would have to put up with for the rest of their marriage.

Fortunately, the two would finally announce their wedding to the public in their iconic post-wedding kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Royal weddings since have followed suit.
Divorce isn’t easy
Divorces are meant to be healing and the start of a new journey, but things aren’t so simple when you’re married to the Prince of Wales. According to insiders, Diana would have to spend Christmases alone after her divorce from Charles.

Diana really struggled with body image
On top of Camilla’s presence at their wedding, Diana was also put off after Charles joked about her needing to lose weight. According to many, this was the start of a very long struggle with bulimia.
