The ceremony was in danger of being canceled.
On 29 July 1981, everyone in the UK watched with bated breath as Prince Charles and Diana Spencer walked down the aisle. They looked like the perfect couple, so no one imagined that two days before the ceremony, the future princess would cancel the wedding.
Some sources have however discussed rumors about possible problems in their relationship, the young Diana had changed too drastically, turning from a cheerful girl into a tearful and nervous woman. The “first sign” was a shot taken in 1981 at the airport: Lady Spencer, in tears, greeted the groom on a long business trip. Then everyone decided that Diana was sad about the long separation. But she was shocked that on her eve Charles said goodbye in a touching way not to her, but to Camilla Parker-Bowles on her phone. Therefore, she cried the next day, not from her pain, but from her real anger.
But even then the prince’s bride attributed Charles’s relationship with Camilla to friendship, until a few months later his eyes opened. Diana was informed of her bracelet, which lay on the table in the office of her future husband’s secretary. The elegant gold jewelry with love nicknames was not meant for her, but for Camilla. Additionally, Charles insisted on personally delivering it to his girlfriend.
According to the princess’s notes, which were used in the National Geographic documentary Diana: The Story in Her Words, he left on Monday to give his lover’s gift, despite the fact that he was due to marry another Wednesday. That same day, at dinner with the sisters, Diana told them of her dismay and her intention to cancel the ceremony. But she dissuaded her of hers, saying it was already too late. Therefore, instead of her love for her future husband at the altar, the princess has already felt hatred.
