Recall the Wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles

Starting at $5.99 – $24.99

Let RetroSparX spark your memory with A Fairytale Day. When Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles approached the doors of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, the eyes of the world were upon them. The day was magical in every regard, and the future of the British monarchy rested upon the shoulders of the young couple. In many ways, the hype surrounding the wedding was a foretaste of the public’s intrusive preoccupation with everything ‘Diana’, a preoccupation that often verged on hysteria. Read about this historic wedding and the impact that Diana’s short life had on the causes she embraced.

As an added bonus, in Marital Miscues, read some lesser-known facts about that magnificent day!
