Kuala Lumpur: Late Princess Diana felt uneasy after seeing Prince Charles ex-girlfriend Camilla Parker Bowles at her wedding.
The fairy tale event took place 40 years ago in a huge ceremony but no one knew what Diana was thinking.
Speaking on the Channel 5 documentary Charles and Camilla: King and Queen in Waiting, royal expert Jenny Bond said: “Diana told me much later in one of our private conversations that she had felt like a lamb to the slaughter as she walked up the aisle, which was very sad.
“I think she knew that things weren’t quite right, and when she saw Camilla in the congregation, was immediately uneasy about it.”
The world remembers how she looked stunning in her huge dress. The crowds cheered when the newlyweds shared a kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. A historic moment in 1981.
But during the wedding ceremony, Diana felt uneasy when she saw Camilla – who was on the guestlist – sitting in one of the pews at St Paul’s Cathedral.
From then on, Diana was said to be increasingly worried about her future husband’s relationship with his then ex-girlfriend.
Just days before saying her vows, Diana found a bracelet engraved with the letters G and F, which stood for Gladys and Fred – the nicknames Charles and Camilla used for each other. It was in Charles’s private secretary Michael Colborne’s office.
