While the rest of the world was buzzing with excitement over the engagement of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, the couple themselves weren't exactly as excited as they should've been. We all know the story of Charles and Diana's marriage and divorce at this point, but many royal fans don't realize that there was one family member who actually tried to convince Lady Di that marrying a royal was the wrong choice.
Her maternal grandmother, Ruth Roche, the Baroness Fermoy, was actually a close friend of the Royal Family—yet she still thought it was a mistake for Diana to marry Prince Charles. The baroness was a friend of the Queen Mother and also served as a woman of the bedchamber for the royal. When it came to rumors of her working with the Queen Mother to set up Diana and Charles, she told the Associated Press in 1993, "You can say that if you like, but it simply wouldn't be true."
