It's no secret that Prince Charles and Princess Diana's marriage was doomed from the start. His relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles aside, Charles and Diana were simply not suited for each other, and as a 20-year-old bride, Lady Diana Spencer found herself unprepared for the realities of royal life. In the new book Dianaworld: An Obsession, author Edward White dives into the lead-up to their 1981 royal wedding—and how the princess took some advice to heart 15 years later.
Ahead of Diana and Charles's July 29 nuptials, a feminist magazine called Spare Rib produced buttons reading, "Don't Do It, Di!" White wrote that the publication "expressed itself aghast and deflated by the public enthusiasm for an event that seemed to glorify a Victorian view of gender relations."
