Diana’s sister Sarah said, ‘He met Miss Right and she met Mr Right. They just clicked. They have the same giggly sense of humour, and they both love ballet and opera and sport in all forms. It’s perfect, and they are both over the moon.’Charles and Diana on their wedding day ©Terry Fincher/Princess Diana Archive/Getty Images
‘I remember being so in love with my husband that I couldn't take my eyes off him,’ Diana told biographer Andrew Morton. ‘I just absolutely thought I was the luckiest girl in the world. He was going to look after me.’ Cracks started to show in Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s marriage when they embarked on their debut royal tour to Australia and New Zealand in April 1983. ‘With the media attention came a lot of jealousy. A great deal of complicated situations arose because of that,’ Diana revealed later.Charles and Diana with baby Harry ©Tim Graham Photo Library via Getty Images
After his affair with Camilla was exposed, Charles opened up to being adulterous in a TV interview in June 1994. Asked if he tried to be ‘faithful and honourable’ to Princess Diana, he said, ‘Yes… until it became irretrievably broken down, us both having tried.’ Diana was thought to be dating again and was romantically linked to art dealer Oliver Hoare and rugby player Will Carling – but heart surgeon Dr Hasnat Khan, whom she dated between 1995 and 1997, was reportedly the ‘love of her life’.After the bombshell Panorama interview, there was no way back for Diana and Charles. She agreed to Charles’s request for a divorce in February 1996, and they reached a settlement in July. The divorce was finalised on 28 August 1996.
