Princess Diana has been dead for more than 20 years, Prince Charles has been married to Camilla Parker-Bowles for 15 years, but the history of the uneasy relationship of the former spouses and their dislike for each other still arouses public interest. A very indicative case was the case that occurred in Australia in 1983, writes Woman.ru.
The 15th season of the TV series "Crown" will begin on November 4. Everyone who watches this movie saga will confirm: the project of Peter Morgan was a success by all 250%. This fall, the main members of the British royal family are waiting for us, but the main one is Princess Diana, in the role of which 24-year-old Emma Corrin will debut on the screen. The girl is already predicted world fame, although yesterday few people knew about her.
On the eve of the premiere, new shots periodically appear on the network. One of them caught our attention. Pictured above, cinematic Diana and Charles dancing during a gala dinner as part of their 1983 Australian tour. This evening in general and this dance in particular is worth telling in more detail.
And tears and dislike
Two years after the wedding, Diana and Charles went on an Australian tour. It was the end of March, everything was difficult in the royal family: the Princess of Wales knew about her husband's affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles. Even little William, who was 9 months old at the time of the trip, did not save the situation.
Interesting fact: 30 years later, William, already a husband and father, will also go to Australia on an official visit in the company of his wife Kate and 9-month-old firstborn George.
But back to 1983. Sydney. Australian heat. Hundreds of journalists. Meetings, interviews from morning until late at night. Everyone needs to smile. Everyone needs to be greeted. For the fragile English rose Diana, this was another test, and she could not stand it - she burst into tears in front of the Sydney Opera House, and her husband standing next to her did not even raise an eyebrow. Later, the press service of Kensington Palace would write off everything on the change of time zones and the heat, but the truth was this: Charles did not love Diana, and she already understood this, but could not hold back the bitter tears of resentment.
On the subject: 'We sat next to each other and cried': how Prince Charles and Diana really experienced the divorce
While the photographers filmed the beautiful Diana's face distorted by emotions, soulless Charles turned his profile in the other direction and waited for this hysteria to end. He did not hug, did not console, did not protect - what kind of person?
“This behavior is typical for him - to look the other way. It was the first sign that something was wrong, and then we began to notice other moments as well ”, - the royal photographer Ken Lennox shared his memories.
Perhaps it was on that day that Diana made the decision to enter the game called "revenge." As journalists write, during the remaining days of the tour, she did everything that annoyed the prince so much. He especially did not like her unnatural "vulgar" laugh. In public, they still tried to keep their faces, but, when left alone, they turned away from each other and hardly spoke.
Knowing this, you begin to understand why the dance of the spouses at one of the gala evenings of the Australian visit was called "mocking".
Sad dance
March 28, 1983 A Rolls Royce drives up to the Sheraton Wentworth Hotel. The first to get out of the car is Diana in a dazzling blue dress, followed by Charles almost unnoticed. Flowers from fans, a few protocol shots (even without a hint of a smile on both faces!), And finally the main action of the evening is the dance of the royal couple.
The composition Isn't She Lovely performed by Stevie Wonder was chosen to enter the floor. Quite dynamic if you've listened to it.
Charles, who had previously been walking behind his wife, now came to the fore. He always loved to dance, although he did not have all the necessary skills. But the main thing is the mood, and Charles had it that evening. He really wanted ... to take revenge on his wife. We see no other reason why he circled her so rudely, deliberately not letting her keep up with him. Diana was out of breath, her cheeks blazed with crimson fire, but she continued to smile - a representative of the royal family should be able to keep her face in any situation.
"She is unforgettable, he does not deserve forgiveness," - commented on this video, one of Lady Dee's caring fans.
The couple spent the remaining days of their Australian tour in much the same mood. In public, they were nice, behind closed doors they did not want to look at each other. Another reason for Charles's anger was ... you will not believe - Diana's dresses! She took 200 pieces with her! The heir to the throne did not understand why the press wrote more about the princess's style than about the purpose of their visit.
Diana's jewelry wardrobe was also weighty. The princess complemented the blue dress in which she danced with her husband with the necklace of King Faisal. The 4-carat diamond set in 84 rows was made by the jewelers of the House of Harry Winston in 1952 and bought by the King of Saudi Arabia in 1967 as a gift to Elizabeth II. The Queen allowed her daughter-in-law to wear it only once.
