Days before her wedding, Princess Diana decided to call it quits on her engagement to King Charles.
Due to her future husband’s business commitments, the Princess of Wales was left alone on Prince Andrew’s birthday.
According to royal analyst Ingrid Seward, Diana “threw herself into dancing frantically with one man after another – and finally just dancing by herself” because she was “in despair.”
Diana was described by the author as “looking exhausted and lost in her thoughts yet still moving in slow, rhythmic time to some tune in her head.”
At about five thirty in the morning, she returned home and told her father that she was not going to marry Charles.
“She was distraught, flustered, angry, and had no intention of ever going back,” the author said.
Diana’s perspective was that the Royal Wedding was off.”
Diana agreed to marry again only after her father tried to “talk around” and mend the split.
