Eligible Bachelor
In his youth, Charles was a charming young man who had many young women swarming after him. Although he had several potential courtships, it was very apparent that he had his eye set on someone else…Charles first met Diana Frances Spencer in 1977 while he was visiting her home as the companion to her elder sister. However, he never romantically considered Diana until he began to seriously think about a potential bride during the early 1980s. In February 1981, Prince Charles finally popped the question to Diana.
Wedding Of The Century
Even though their engagement was kept a secret for some time, Diana was thrilled and naturally said ‘yes’, just a few months later the two married in St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. It was frequently called the “wedding of the century” as the glamourous ceremony was attended by approximately 3500 guests and was also watched on TV by 750 million people around the world. At 20 years old, Diana then became the Princess of Wales. She then undertook many royal duties on behalf of the Queen.
