Princess Diana always knew how to express her position by her appearance alone, and was famous for her kind heart. For example, while making official visits, she refused to wear gloves in order to be closer to people and demonstrate her sympathy for them. She was photographed more than once with two hours on her wrist, and this was not an accident. Lady Dee loved to express her feelings towards people dear to her, and this gesture was also intended for someone special, writes Adme.ru.
Lady Dee and Prince Charles just got engaged
The first picture of Diana with two watches on one hand was taken in 1981, shortly after her engagement to Prince Charles took place. The photographer caught the moment when the princess watched her fiance play polo at the Guard Polo Club in Windsor. Everything looked pretty ordinary, except for one small and rather extravagant detail: there was two hours on Princess Wrist's wrist.

It was a symbol that she cares
As it turned out, the gold metal watch with a thin strap belonged to Princess Diana, and the darker ones belonged to Prince Charles. Lady Dee shared that she wore a Charles watch as a tribute to him and to bring him good luck.
This gesture reminded us of an old medieval tradition.
In the Middle Ages, there was a tradition of tying a ladies handkerchief to the back of a knight's helmet before a fight. The scarf was perceived as a talisman, and this was a way to show support to the person participating in the competition.
Unfortunately, the marriage of Lady Dee and Prince Charles was not destined to last long, but this touching gesture shows that their relationship definitely had love and tender affection. At least at the very beginning.
This was not the only time that Diana showed her love with a cute gesture.
The princess refused to wear the tiara that the queen lent to her on her wedding day. Instead, she chose the one that had belonged to her family for many years. With this gesture, Princess Diana showed that she decided to remain faithful to the traditions of her family, because many women from her family, including her sister, got married in this tiara.
Do you have something special that reminds you of your loved ones? Or maybe you have your own way of expressing your love and gratitude to them?
