PERKAHWINAN DIRAJA
Tarikh: 29 Julai 1981
Pada tarikh yang bersejarah ini, hampir tiga suku penduduk dunia
mengikuti perkembangan perkahwinan diraja yang bersejarah ini. Ini merupakan
perkahwinan yang dianggap sebagai perkahwinan abad ke-20 atau "Wedding
of the century". Perkahwinan mereka dimulai dengan pertunangan yang berlaku
24 Februari 1981 . Perkahwinan Prince Charles dan Lady Diana berlangsung
di St. Paul 's Cathedral dengan disaksikan lebih 750 juta penonton dan
pemerhati di seluruh dunia mahupun di England atau diseberang laut dengan
menggunakan teknologi moden iaitu satelit yang dipancarkan melalui peti
televisyen ke rumah-rumah serata dunia. Pada ketika itu, Lady Diana berumur
20 tahun manakala Putera Charles pula berusia 32 tahun .
Janet Dailey (American Queen of Romantic Fiction), pernah menulis
dalam STAR :-
""In the tall, dark and handsome mold, Charles is nearly 6ft.with
dark brown hair , aquiline features and eyes that crinkle at the corners
when he smiles.His mouth strong and well defined, firm yet gentle. His
leanly muscled build is indicative on his excellent physical condition.
At 32, he's reaching the prime of his manhood. Diana is a statuesque honey
blonde with large gray-blue eyes and a disarming habit of standing smiling
glances at people. Wholesome and fresh, she was a 20 year old virgin. Her
milk-smooth complexion is flawless. Even Britain's Archbishop of Canterbury
was moved to say : " This is the stuff of which fairy tales are made."
But before long the fairy tale had turned into a horror story, the prince
into a frog. Last week came the final devastating tragedy. In the next
45 pages, STAR pays tribute to the life and style and beauty of Princess
Diana, the woman they're calling the People's Princess.""
