When twenty one year old Lady Diana Spencer married Prince Charles in 1981 watched by 750 million people worldwide after a string of unsuitable girlfriends, the public thought that they had finally found their happy ending.
It was not long, however, before the cracks began to show as they embarked on their first foreign trip which Diana was to describe later as a 'baptism by fire'.
On this week's The Royal Beat, reactions to the Diana statue, and Harry and William's reunion
After her tragic and untimely death, Princess Diana left a legacy in her charities and causes.
Remembered here by her closest friends as loyal, steadfast and having an incredible level of compassion and remarkable intuition.
A charmingly naive documentary made before the marriage of Princess Diana and Prince Charles hit the rocks looking at the young married couple as they enjoy their new life and their new young family both at home and on holiday.
Fascinating to watch with the benefit of hindsight.
