Nearly three decades after Princess Diana’s death, photographs of the late royal continue to fascinate fans – but one famous image with King Charles has left some doing a double take over a detail that doesn’t seem to add up.
Diana was just 36 when she died following a car crash in Paris on Aug. 31, 1997, almost one year after her divorce from Charles was finalized on Aug. 28, 1996, bringing a devastating end to a life that had only recently entered a new chapter.
Now, 30 years later, interest in the Princess of Wales remains just as strong, with old photographs offering glimpses into everything from her public life to her complicated 15-year marriage to Charles, who was then the Prince of Wales.
Charles and Diana at Balmoral
Among them is a familiar image taken at Balmoral in 1981, the year the couple married. Diana, wearing a tan jacket,
is pictured beside Charles in a green sweater as he places an arm around her, with the Scottish landscape stretching behind them.
