18 Ways Princess Diana Shook Up The Royal House
Her wedding was truly a spectacle
Royal weddings weren’t always the public showcases they are today. But Diana’s, hers whipped up a fervor. Her wedding was the highest watched event in British television history, a thing even her sons’ weddings could not top. One of her bridesmaid’s was Winston Churchill’s granddaughter, and the bride donned a gown with a 25 foot long train. The couple had only been together on 13 occasions before saying “I do,†but somehow they felt the weight of fairy tale expectations from all corners of the globe. Diana was incredibly young, just twenty on the day of her wedding. Within a year she would be pregnant with the heir to the throne.
