Think it’s headache-inducing to organize a major family event?
Buckingham Palace is here to say, “Hold my beer” (or Earl Grey, perhaps).
FYI, it took 20 years to plan Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in advance.
Similar considerations will no doubt be made while planning the king’s coronation.
His late mother was put in a similar situation.
She and Princess Anne were reportedly at odds.
Is this why Diana wasn’t at her second wedding?
In public, at least, the two women denied harboring any ill will.
In another TV interview, Anne described reports of a feud as “fairy stories.”
And yet, Diana was left out during an important day in Anne’s life.
Her first marriage, in 1973, was to Capt.
Mark Phillips, a fellow equestrian.
The couple went on to have two children, Peter and Zara Phillips, before separating in 1989.
Only 30 close family members and friends witnessed this ceremony, but Princess Diana wasn’t among them.
magazineexplains, she and King Charles had just announced their separation after years of marital strife.
The awkwardness of having her there would have overshadowed the joy of the day.
Anne has never discussed her feelings about leaving Diana out of her wedding.
