Princess Diana and then-Prince Charles tied the knot more than four decades ago in what was dubbed the “Wedding of the Century.” The pair then became one of the most photographed couples in the world as images of them waving and smiling were in the papers almost daily. However, years into their marriage, when things between them started to go south, they were still required to put on happy faces in public to fool the press, but they couldn’t always hide everything from the camera.
An image being looked at almost four decades later shows what they didn’t want everyone to know. Photographer notices something nearly 40 years after snapping pic of Charles and Diana In 1987, Charles and Diana traveled to the South of France for the 40th Cannes Film Festival. The royal couple made the trip to show their support for the British film industry.
While there for an action-packed 10 hours, they toured the British film pavilion and soaked up some sun on a private yacht before attending a screening of the movie The Whales of August and a gala dinner. They were joined at the dinner reception by some of the most famous actors in the business at that time. Photographer Richard Blanshard was assigned to snap the stars while they were working, relaxing, and partying the night away.
He also took pictures of Charles and Diana. It was until recently though when looking back at those images, that Balnshard noticed he captured something in their faces that conveyed what the world had not yet.
