Looking back at Princess Diana and King Charles’s marriage, it can be easy to spot red flags.

Feeling more than slightly jilted, Diana departed the party and took refuge at her father’s Northamptonshire home.

There, the 20-year-old informed her dad that she wasn’t planning to go through with the nuptials.

Diana wasn’t the only one having second thoughts.
