Diana was the first royal bride to break royal protocol when it came to her wedding vows. In general, royal brides are expected to read traditional wedding vows. Diana left out the word “obey” from her wedding vows. This was a huge deal that made headlines. When Kate and William married in 2011, they followed suit.

The stress of the wedding was almost too much for Princess Diana to bear! She seemed stressed and it showed. She lost quite a few pounds before her big day. It caused issues with the fitting of her dress. She actually had 15 lengthy fittings to get Diana’s dress to fit properly. “Every time she turned up for a fitting, she had lost more weight,” noted Elizabeth Emmanuel in an interview. “We put it down to nerves. But it did make it incredibly difficult for us to get on with making the dress.” The morning of the wedding she was actually sewed into the dress.
