Prince Diana Refused to Marry Prince Charles a Day Before the Wedding, Here’s Why

Princess Diana presumed had the most fairytale kind of wedding in the history of royal weddings. With Diana living upto the definition of a Princess as she walked down the aisle, beaming with happiness, it seemed unlikely that anything could be perfect than what Diana had.

Unfortunately, all the dreams shattered as merely a few years after her wedding, the fairytale crumbled.

After the few months of honeymoon period it was evident that Diana and Charles were not meant for each other. From their alleged extramarital affairs with other people to their apparent distance in public, one could see that the couple was unhappy together.

What followed after was a turbulent engagement period as Diana knew of Charles’s feelings for Camilla and his continued relationship with his ex as ‘friends’. While the princess remained silent on the matter for very long, it was a day before the wedding she decided to break silence.
