The secret tensions between Princess Diana and Prince Charles didn’t remain behind closed doors for long.
Throughout the 1980’s, many viewed the couple as a fairy tale come to life — especially after their extravagant 1981 wedding. Quickly, Diana became one of the most photographed (and talked-about) people in the world.
By the time the ’90s rolled around, the press attention on Charles and Diana’s marriage was at an all-time high. So high, in fact, that Parliament called the editors of U.K. newspapers to Westminster to debate a person’s right to privacy versus the public’s right to know.

Princess Diana’s brother is reflecting on his “final duty” to his sister.
The late princess is buried on the island of the Oval Lake at the family estate of Althorp, around 75 miles north of London. It is a bucolic spot that reflects her love of nature and water. “She’s in a happy and secure place,” Charles, 9th Earl Spencer tells People in this week’s cover story.
It is also somewhere that her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, can visit peacefully.
“I never go to Diana with them. It’s very much their time there,” says Spencer.
