Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer on July 29, 1981, and 45 years later, the world is still fascinated by the wedding of the century. The televised ceremony drew in 750 million royal watchers around the world, and everything from her romantic, ruffled wedding dress to her flowers were copied by ‘80s brides for years to come. But even though the world fell in love with Charles and Diana, the bride wasn’t feeling quite as jubilant as the hundreds of thousands of people who lined the streets of London that day.
Speaking on behalf of SpeakOut, Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell tells Marie Claire that despite her fairytale wedding and the promise of being the future Queen, it was her father, the 8th Earl Spencer, who relished walking down the aisle of St Paul’s Cathedral that day.
