Although they had only met two times, Charles and Diana had been acquainted with each other for several years because Charles was a friend of Diana’s older sister. The couple began their relationship together in the summer of 1980 (“Princess Diana biography,” 2011). Diana and Charles dated for less than a year before their relationship progressed to something more serious. In the new year of 1981, Diana hoped for and expected a proposal from Prince Charles (Brennan, 1999). The proposal took place on February 6, 1981, at the Windsor Castle. Charles feared that Diana was oblivious to how hard being a member of the Royal family would be, but Diana did not care because she loved Charles deeply (Mattern, 2006). The Queen of England waited to make the engagement of Charles and Diana public until February 24, but England was elated when the news went public. Vickers (1998) mentioned, “Diana Spencer was the first Princess of Wales that Britain had known since the early days of the 20th century…” (p. 36).

With just a little over five months to plan her wedding and learn her role as princess, Diana was put under a lot of stress. She now had to worry about the media too. Newspapers across London quickly filled with

In the early 1950s, the romance between Margaret—then third in line to the throne after her sister’s two children, Charles and Anne—and Group Captain Peter Townsend, a highly decorated World War II fighter pilot and recent divorcé, caused quite a scandal both within and outside of the British royal family.
