Their Romance Started at a Funeral
Diana and Charles had an unconveÂntional start to their relationship. They were born over a decade apart, and although they first met when she was sixteen, it took several years before they started dating seriously. Their bond greÂw stronger after the funeÂral of Charles’ great-uncle when Diana offered him her sympathy. On that day, CharleÂs showed an unusual attachment to her, following him like a devoted puppy and seeking emotional support from her – a rare occurrence for him.
While Diana felt flattered by his interest, the suddenness and peÂculiarity of their connection created an unusual atmosphere at the beginning of their relationship. This unique dynamic would shape their future together.
