The wife of the heir to the crown and the “queen of hearts” were unhappy in the marriage. She was weighed by the observance of royal conventions and decency. A difficult relationship with Queen Elizabeth, with her own family and her husband’s infidelities led Diana to bouts of depression, bulimia and adventures on the side, which were known even outside the palace.
In order not to go crazy under the weight of the crown, Lady Dee sometimes allowed herself to be a simple extravagant girl, recalls Rambler. What did she do such that (at that time) even her guard was ashamed?
1. I went to a gay club
One evening, after a glass of champagne with friends, Diana found out that the whole company, led by Freddie Mercury, plans to continue the fun at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern gay club. How to refuse this? The princess was dressed up in a man’s suit and in this form was taken to an institution where she remained unrecognized until the morning.
2. Invited to Kensington Palace Cindy Crawford
Princess Diana personally contacted the assistant Cindy Crawford and easily offered the supermodel to stop by for tea the next time she was in London. And all because of Prince William - the son showed great interest in the fitness beauty. The model could not refuse and met the princess and her son. From this acquaintance, Cindy, as she herself recalled, had only the most pleasant impressions.

3. I ran through the window
Already a mother of two heirs to the throne, Princess Diana, while on a winter vacation in Austria, fled from the hotel ... through a window. And all because all the doors of the elite hotel for security reasons were locked tightly locked at night. The princess was not afraid of the height of the second floor - jumping into a large snowdrift, Diana went for a walk in the vicinity.
4. Flew economy class
In the spring of 1989, a real commotion began in the queue for registration in London Gatwick. All due to the fact that the princess wanted to "be like everyone else," and flew on an airplane in economy class. I even put on simple clothes - jeans and a shirt. But, unlike a gay club, they quickly recognized her here. One of the passengers shouted “Diana!” Loudly, and then Lady Dee was surrounded by a crowd of fans. True, because of this, the security still took her to the VIP-hall.
5. Shook hands with AIDS patients
In the 1987 year, when the first AIDS unit was just opening in Britain, people had many speculations and fears related to this disease. But the princess, far from prejudice, at the invitation of the Middlesex hospital management came to the opening of the institution. Here she committed a very bold act at that time: she took off her gloves and shook hands with AIDS patients. Also, the Princess of Wales was not afraid to shake hands with patients with leprosy.

6. Dressed as a policeman
On the eve of the wedding, Princess Diana's girlfriends decided to spend a bachelorette party in the club. For a costume party, they dressed as policemen and secretly left Buckingham Palace. By the way, in the end, they almost thundered into a real police station, when for the sake of a joke they incited the detention of a woman of easy virtue.
7. Walked through the minefield
The princess was an active supporter of the ban on anti-personnel mines. During her visit to Angola, she walked through a cleared section of a huge field that had previously been dotted with mines. The princess was wearing body armor and a protective mask from bullets.
“My jaw dropped from fear,” Lady Dee later admitted.
8. Secluded on a nudist beach
Diana lacked solitude, the royal life, full of conventions, strongly pressed her, and the princess took every opportunity to escape from her for a short time. Once she persuaded her bodyguard to let her walk alone on a deserted spring beach on one of the English islands. Returning after agreed 40 minutes, Princess Diana enthusiastically said that along the way she met a group of nudists sunbathing in the spring sun.

9. Saw and ride through the night of Venice
In 1990, when she arrived in Verona, Italy, Diana came to the concert of Luciano Pavarotti in the main square of the city. After the performance, the great tenor invited the princess to his dressing room. But Diana seemed not enough. She wanted the evening not to end, and she persuaded everyone to go on a night excursion to Venice, taking with her a bottle of Pinot Grigio. An hour later, she and the company enjoyed the views of the old city, sailing in a gondola along the Grand Canal.
