Weddings are delicate occasions where etiquette matters, and guests must be careful not to overshadow the bride and groom.

But as social media users have pointed out, even members of the Royal Family and their close circles can find themselves at the center of a fashion misstep.

The wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles on July 29, 1981, at St Paul’s Cathedral was a global spectacle. Often described as a “fairytale wedding,” it was watched by an estimated 750 million people worldwide. Street parties were held across the UK, and celebrations took place around the globe.

However, despite the grandeur, the marriage was far from a romantic success story, with much public speculation over Charles’s feelings for Camilla Parker Bowles, now Queen Consort.

Diana’s Claims About the Bracelet

In her interviews with Andrew Morton, Diana revealed that Charles had given Camilla a bracelet just days before the wedding.

“Someone in his office told me that my husband has had a bracelet made for her. I walked into this man’s office one day and I said, ‘Ooh, what’s in that parcel?’ And he said, ‘Oh, you shouldn’t look at that,’” she recalled.

“So I opened it and there was the bracelet,” Diana added, saying it bore the initials F and G—nicknames Charles and Camilla used for each other.

According to Diana, she wanted to call off the wedding after finding out, but was persuaded otherwise. Camilla was also rumored to have given Charles cufflinks with two Cs, which he allegedly wore during his honeymoon with Diana.
