Princess Diana Called Her Royal Wedding to Prince Charles the 'Worst Day of My Life'
It's been 44 years since Princess Diana wed Prince Charles, and while every girl dreams that their special day will be magical, according to the princess herself, her royal wedding was actually the "worst day" of her life. The truth behind Diana's wedding day despair emerged in a 2017 documentary called Diana: In Her Own Words. The film uses audio from multiple interviews she conducted in 1991 to reveal intimate details about the “People's Princess.” Prior to her royal wedding on July 29, 1981, Diana desperately sought guidance from her two older sisters LadySarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, hoping they might help her escape what she already sensed would be a disaster. "I went upstairs, had lunch with my sisters who were there, and I said, 'I can't marry him. I can't do this. This is absolutely unbelievable,'" Diana recalled in the documentary, per Today. "And they were wonderful and said, 'Well, bad luck, Duch. Your face is on the tea towel, so you're too late to chicken out.'" The primary source of Diana's wedding day grudge stemmed from Prince Charles' ongoing relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, who attended the ceremony despite being the other woman in what Diana would later describe as a “crowded marriage.”During their honeymoon, Diana's worst fears about Camilla's continued presence in Charles' life were confirmed when she discovered a personal gift."So I said, 'Camilla gave you those, didn't she?'" Diana recounted, referring to a pair of cufflinks featuring two intertwined Cs that Camilla had given Charles. "He said, 'Yes, so what's wrong? They're a present from a friend.' And boy, did we have a row. Jealousy, total jealousy." The woman Diana was referring to was, of course, Charles's long-term love, now Queen Camilla, with whom he carried on an affair that would contribute to one of the most famous divorces in royal history. "It was such a good idea, the two Cs," Diana added. "But it wasn't that clever." Diana's pain over the love triangle became even more public when she spoke candidly about it in her interview for BBC One's Panorama in 1995, delivering one of her most memorable quotes. "There were three of us in the marriage, so it was a bit crowded," she said, finally giving voice to what many had suspected for years.The audio recordings from the documentary captured another heartbreaking statement that revealed how hopeless Diana felt about her marriage. "If I could write my own script, I would have my husband go away with his woman and never come back," she said, expressing a wish that would tragically come true.A few years following the interview, Princess Diana died on August 31, 1997, after sustaining injuries from a car crash in Paris.
