Princess Diana and Prince Charles
The wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles on July 29, 1981, was a globally televised event, often referred to as the “wedding of the century.” Diana’s wedding dress was a showstopper, with a 25-foot-long train, and her arrival at St. Paul’s Cathedral was a moment of fairytale grandeur. However, there were some lighter, behind-the-scenes moments that added a human touch to the occasion. Diana famously flubbed Prince Charles’s many middle names during the vows, and the couple shared a few shy smiles and glances throughout the ceremony. This iconic wedding was a blend of regal pomp and relatable humanity, making it one of the most memorable weddings in history.
