The Fairytale Begins
A fated wedding, state visits and a new knight
1981, 1996, 1997: The 1980s will be remembered
for the marriage of the Princess of Wales. But the magical story of
a beautiful girl who married the heir to the British throne and brought
glamor to a stuffy establishment did not have a fairytale ending.
Diana's 1997 death — in a car speeding through Paris with her
new love — led to accusations that Queen Elizabeth and the "Firm",
as the family called themselves, were out-moded and out of touch and
stirred republican sentiment in the United Kingdom in a way not seen
since the English Civil War. |
