Engagement, Marriage, Divorce of Diana and Charles (Thread from 2020 onward)

[Amabel2]

If Lady Diana had married an aristocrat who was the main title holder ie Duke, Earl, Marquess I believe that she'd realize that they'd need to live at the family's estate if they still possessed one.

HOneslty it is so unlikely that Diana would have gotten remarried to an English aristocrat that its impossible to imagine. Much more likely she'd marry a millionaire businessman, probably a foreign one. Di wasnt goig to bury herself in the countryside again

@Amabel2 -Actually I was thinking along the lines of Diana marrying an aristocrat in her twenties instead of the PoW. However it is possible that @LouisFerdinand  was thinking of a second marriage to a UK aristocrat.

I assumed it was meaning a second marriage.. but if it was a first marriage.. I don't think anyone knows where Diana would have liked to live back then. I tend to think that even had she married someone she dated at 19 or so, she'd prefer London to the country.. and her boyfriends dont seem to have been among the peerage....

If it comes to that, I dont think anyone could say where Diana would have wanted to live, after her divorce.  She talked about getting away from England... and I dont think she dated anyone English after Oliver Hoare..but its not all that clear had she found a second husband, where she saw herself settling with him.

@TLLK, When I referred to her as Lady Diana, I was referring to a first marriage. Thus she would not have wed Prince Charles.

[Amabel2]

I dont think that she dated anyone seriously back then other than charles.  She had boyfriends but none of them were anywhere near marraige proposals, and none of them were titled or aristocrats with large estates.  I dont think she even dated any gentlemen farmers....

The place (and only place, please) to post articles and discuss the history of the Wales.  Have fun and please be respectful of others opinions.

[Izabella]

If Lady Diana had married an aristocrat, would he have agreed to live where she wanted to live?

Don?t think she would have married anyone in that circle and away from England. Who knows. She probably would?ve been happy being a Doctor?s wife, continue her work and raise more kids.   :shrug:  :orchid:

[Amabel2]

I dont really think she was cut out for a doctors wife.  She was a Princess, used to a very different sort of life.  And if she married Khan, he would have wanted to go nad live in Pakinstan and he said that he thought it was one of the few places they could avoid the press.  But Diana after visits to Pak told him it wasn't suitable....

Speaking about legal documents, which are tied to passport (if you don't have a passport) an Identification Card (ID)

Here is Diana's passport.



As an example of an actual (British) spouse to the BRF, The Royal House

Name of Bearer: Her Royal Highness Catherine Elizabeth The Duchess of Cambridge
Nee: Catherine Elizabeth Middleton
National Status: Princess of the Royal House

[Amabel2]

How is that Di's passport?  It is the passport of Prince charles, surely

[wannable]

The 2 images I posted are their passports.  Here as you can see is Diana's passport (illegally photographed at an Asian tour immigration desk - because of the entry stamp - they entry stamp I am not posting, not worth it) The immigration officer just used one closed passport to hold the other passport open to take the picture.  Same thing with the image of Charles detailed passport, they used DIana's closed passport to hold Charles data open to take the picture. They each have a different Passport ID number.

In the Lilibet thread is Charles passport, the image is too large, couldn't make it small like Diana's, but at the bottom of Charles passport, use the mouse moving to the right side and you will see his details.

It will now be 40 years that Diana and Charles married.

It was a dream of a wedding dress for a 1980s 19 year old. Whether it was a dream of a dress for all time on classic lines is debatable.

It was supposedly copied from a portrait at Althorp of an 18th century Spencer ancestress. I do have a fondness for it as I believe its bulk and the very long train was able to ?fill up? the vastness of St Paul?s. It also encapsulated what was regarded as the fairytale magic of the wedding day, which was felt by virtually everyone who witnessed it.

However it would be impossible for most people today to look at that dress and not think ?1980s personified?. It is a part of history nonetheless and will always bring back memories of the bride of 20 as Diana was then.

Also, very few women could have carried that dress off. It suited her tall slim figure as much as it was a dress for the times. She looked like she belonged in a fairy tale!

@Princess Cassandra, That is an excellent observation. Also, there were a lot of steps of the cathedral for her and her father to ascend.

Consider the source. A former royal protection officer is claiming that the late Diana, Princess of Wales was the first to stray in her marriage to the PoW.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Princess Diana was the first to stray during her marriage Prince Charles | Daily Mail Online

Viewers of Netflix hit The Crown are left in no doubt who was to blame for the collapse of Prince Charles and Diana?s marriage: he?s shown sneaking off to renew his love affair with Camilla Parker Bowles while the Princess is left crying at the Palace.

Now, however, one of the couple?s former royal protection officers has come forward to present a startlingly different version of events.

Allan Peters claims Charles did not start seeing Camilla romantically again (they had first met in their early 20s) until after he discovered Diana had been having a fling with fellow protection officer Barry Mannakee.

And Peters was the one who informed Charles of his wife?s affair.
