It Began with a Mistake

Like many fairy tales, it began with a prince and princess who got together hoping to have a happily ever after. But in this scenario, it was Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, and theirs was far from a storybook romance.

After tying the knot in a lavish royal ceremony in 1981, everyone thought they were the perfect couple; however, Prince Charles’ heart was somewhere else, and it became the eventual downfall of his relationship with Diana. As it turns out, he only pursued the blonde beauty to honor his duty to his family of finding the ideal future queen of England who would one day rule beside him.
