Both in the world of country music and in the world of celebrities, Dolly Parton is well-known.

Although she has performed and sang for the majority of her life, the Tennessee native has grown to be nothing short of a legend and she has loved to amuse her horde of followers.

However, the 76-year-old music icon has just made it official that she will stop touring, despite the fact that she still releases new music.

In a recent interview with Pollystar, Dolly Parton stated why she would no longer be going on tour. She stated:

“I occasionally perform unique shows here and there. Maybe perform a few gigs at a festival or over a long weekend. However, I no longer have any plans to embark on a full-fledged tour.”

Instead, the 76-year-old country music icon will keep on creating music and devote her time to Carl Thomas Dean, her adoring husband.

In Nashville, Tennessee, in 1964, Dolly and Carl Dean met in front of the Wishy Washy Laundromat. Dolly was 18 years old and Carl was 21 years old at the time. Carl noticed something special about the young woman right away.

When they first met, Dean remarked, “I’m going to marry that girl,” according to an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“Lord she’s beautiful, was my second thought. And that marked the start of my existence. In this world, I wouldn’t exchange the past 50 years for anything.”

In a 1976 interview with the New York Times, Dolly recalled that Dean “holled” at her when he was sitting in his pickup truck when he saw her. She, however, turned down his offer of a date. Instead, a few days later when she was watching her nephew, she invited him over. It was the beginning of a love story that would last forever.

Dolly and Carl exchanged vows in a secret ceremony in Ringgold, Georgia, in May 1966. Her record company advised them to postpone their nuptials because she had a job to consider. But Dean and Dolly didn’t want to wait, so they made the decision to get married in Georgia rather than Tennessee so that no one would write about it there. Dolly, Carl, and her mother were the only people present.

Dolly and Carl have been profoundly in love ever since. The couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2016. They chose to renew their vows as a way to celebrate.

They will now spend considerably more time together.

Parton elaborated on her traveling experiences in her interview with Pollstar:

“I’ve been doing that throughout my life, and it takes a lot of time and effort. With my husband, I prefer to stay a little closer to home. I don’t want to go away for four or five weeks at a time because we are getting older. Something might occur. If I were gone and someone needed me, I wouldn’t feel great about that. Or I would feel horrible if I had to end a tour early because someone at home needed me and I couldn’t leave the fans behind.”

The singer asserts that her most recent musical works will also fall under the rock n’ roll category for her husband. Actually, this past May, Parton received a nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“Well, no better time to do it,” I reasoned when I learned that I had been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I’d wanted to do it forever. For years I’ve thought, “One of these days I’d like to do an album basically just for him, just to kind of do it,” because my husband is a huge hard rock ‘n’ roll lover.

The singer is apparently working on a Christmas special for NBC this year while she continues to finish her new album. As she clarified:

Have fun, Dolly! You have been very generous to us! Just unwind and take it all in right now! We’ll cherish you forever.

Even at the age of 76, Sally Field has disregarded most of the “rules” that have been established. Being a woman in Hollywood is difficult. Sally Field performs admirably in films like Forrest Gump and Steel Magnolias.Some of our greatest work from her is not her acting onscreen, but rather her personal method for overcoming ageism in her career.

Sally Field, who was born in Pasadena, California, in 1946, first became well-known through television shows like Gidget and The Flying Nun.The now-76-year-old actress and activist honed her acting skills and transitioned into the film industry shortly after beginning her television career.In addition to Smokey and the Bandit, Norma Rae, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Forrest Gump, she starred in a number of other well-known movies.In February 2023, the actress was presented with the Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award. She graciously accepted the honor and spoke about her distinguished and accomplished career.Two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Film Award nominations, three Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two SAG Awards, including her most recent Life Achievement Award, and a Tony nomination were among the honors Field had previously received in her career.

Field, a passionate activist, is frequently referred to as ageless and gifted. Her speech for the SAG Achievement Award was modest and helpful to outline her nuanced acting background.“Offstage I felt shy and careful and hidden. But onstage I never knew what I would say or do. I would surprise myself. I wasn’t looking for the applause, or attention, even though that’s nice,” she confessed. “Acting, to me, has always been about finding those few, precious moments when I feel totally, utterly, sometimes dangerously alive. The task has always been to find a way to get to that.”Field looked flawlessly lovely and graceful while wearing a stunning black dress and her naturally gray hair.“They opened and revealed parts of myself I would not have known otherwise. I’ve worked my whole life. In all of these almost 60 years, there is not a day that I don’t feel quietly thrilled to call myself an actor,” she explained.

“A few months ago I was paying for an oil change, and when I turned around, Claire was singing The Little Mermaid in the lobby while everyone was holding their phones and recording her,” said Day .

Dave, who writes music for movies and freelances for a film company, had a brilliant idea: to work with Claire on filming a studio-quality version as a daddy-daughter project. They got to work on the first day of the New Year, and just over a week later the finished project was posted on YouTube-and, guys, it’s the cutest thing we’ve ever seen.

Now we are going to show you a video that has become a real hit on the Internet! Just listen how softly she sings! It’s hard to contain the emotion! An ethereal performance that you want to watch over and over again!

Charles Bronson experienced a difficult upbringing in a coal mining town outside Pittsburgh. When he reached Hollywood stardom, he couldn’t shake the pain of his past.

Charles Bronson was born on November 3, 1921, in a coal camp in Croyle Township, sixty miles from Pittsburgh. He was the ninth child of 15 children.

He was raised in a company-built shack that was so small that the family had to sleep in shifts. The home was only a few yards away from the coal car tracks.

BRONSON’S HOPELESS UPBRINGING

His hometown was hopeless, with no trees, drinkable water, and no sidewalks. The whole town consisted of miners and company officials. Its only purpose was to facilitate coal mining.

Bronson grew up as a loner, needing to haggle for pennies. His childhood was an unhappy one. Bronson remembered his family was so poor that sometimes he had to wear his older sister’s hand-me-downs to school, including dresses.

When Bronson was a teenager, his father died. He quit school to support his family, so he got a job as a coal miner. He reflected that he never forgot the backbreaking work or the feeling of coal inside his nostrils.

“During my years as a miner, I was just a kid, but I was conceived that I was the lowliest of all forms of man.”

He also remembered the headaches he got from work as an impressionable teenager. Even worse, he developed a terrible inferiority complex.

He said everybody working in a coal mining town had an inferiority complex. To them, the railroad workers and steelworkers were the elite.

Bronson also recalled how his hands were rough and unsightly from work. One day, he remembered dancing with a girl, and his hand snagged on her dress and wouldn’t come loose:

“Very few people know what it is like to live down there underneath the surface of the world, in that total blackness.”

He added that living on his knees and breathing in that dust, unable to shake it off, was terrible. Bronson spoke of being born with a number two shovel in his mouth instead of a spoon.

“During my years as a miner, I was just a kid, but I was convinced that I was the lowliest of all forms of man,” he said. He recalled that being drafted into the army was the best thing to happen to him. He was well-fed and well-dressed.

He even got the chance to improve his English skills. Being drafted into the army allowed him to become of the most iconic actors in cinema.

BRONSON’S CHANCE AT STARDOM

After Bronson returned to the U.S. after serving in WWII, he studied art, then later enrolled at the Pasadena Playhouse in California.

One of his teachers was so impressed with his skills that she recommended him to director Henry Hathaway. Bronson soon debuted in his first film, “You’re in the Navy Now,” in 1951.

Early in his career, he appeared in films often but mainly was uncredited. In 1954 critics loved him in the movie “Vera Cruz,” which later scored him a lead in the film “Machine-Gun Kelly” in 1958.

He thought that his Russian-sounding name wouldn’t be well-received by the public during the anti-Communist era.

Acting wasn’t his only job. He worked as a bricklayer, a short-order cook, and an onion-picker in New York State. He later moved to Atlantic City, where he rented benches on the boardwalk.

He also had a short stint as a painter but later found that he liked acting more than painting. But it was in 1974, that he worked on his breakthrough film, “Death Wish.”

This film was so popular that four sequels were created over the decades. Fans loved Bronson’s role in “James Coburn in Hard Times.”

He changed his name to Bronson in the 1950s because he thought that his Russian-sounding name wouldn’t be well-received by the public during the anti-Communist era.

But despite his rising stardom, the dark cloud of his childhood loomed over him. His co-star, Andrew Stevens, said that Bronson avoided people who seemed intrusive and threatening.

But when he felt safe and unsolicited, Bronson let his guard down and was opening, charming and humorous.

BRONSON’S PERSONAL LIFE AND DEATH

Bronson was married three times. Between 1949 and 1967, he was married to Harriet Tendler. They had two children together.

His second marriage was with Jill Ireland. Ireland was a British actress. She appeared in some of his films, such as “The Valachi Papers” and “Love and Bullets.”

They shared one child, and she died in 1990 after suffering from cancer. His third marriage was between 1998 and 2003 to Kim Weeks. Following the child’s death, the actor made raising funds for the John Wayne Cancer Institute a personal priority.

Later in his life, Bronson had Alzheimer’s. A report on his illness highlighted the “stark contrast to the high-octane vitality of his incredible life.”

In the last few weeks of his life, he was shambled, bemused, and dazed around Beverley Hills. His wife, Weeks, accompanied him everywhere he went and vowed to care for him as his illness progressed.

His sister, Catherine Pidgeon, said, “The family has known for almost a year that something was wrong because Charles just hasn’t been himself.”

She added that Bronson spoke slowly, and sometimes his words were slurred. But he still recognized his family and wanted to spend Christmas 2001 with them.

Following a bout of pneumonia, his health declined sharply over a few weeks, on August 20, 2003. Bronson died at 81-years-old at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles.

Bronson was survived by his wife, Kim. He also left behind his three daughters, Suzanne, Katrina Holden-Bronson, and Zuleika. He also had a son, two stepsons, Paul and Valentine McCallum, and two grandchildren.

Dick Van Dyke is going strong at 97.

The generous actor has been known to give money and coats to the needy.

Having previous health scares, he tries to keep himself fit and healthy through exercise.

Dick Van Dyke is a celebrated television, stage, and film actor. For his work in the entertainment industry, he has received a Tony, a Grammy, and five Primetime Emmy Awards and was honored by the Kennedy Center in May 2021.

Born on December 13, 1925, in West Plains, Missouri, Van Dyke had a natural talent for entertaining people. Over the years, the actor has dabbled in various genres, from vaudeville to nightclub shows to radio. But the masses know him more from his work in television and movies.

His milestone performances include “Bye, Bye Birdie,” which took the public by storm on the stage from 1960 to 1961 and in a film adaptation two years later. In it, he sang “Put On a Happy Face,” which became a fan favorite. Speaking about how he got the song, thanks to his co-star Chita Rivera, the actor explained:

“And Chita said, ‘You know, Dick doesn’t have anything to do in the first act. Why don’t you give it to him?’ And my life changed, right there.”

He then starred in the sitcom, “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” from 1961 to 1966. Next was his portrayal of Bert the chimney sweep in the 1964 musical “Mary Poppins” opposite Julie Andrews. He also gained popularity for the 1996 film “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”

At 97 years old, the actor has made an effort to keep his body fit. His regimen includes a series of workouts to strengthen various parts of his body, especially his abdominal muscles, legs, and arms. He went as far as to demonstrate how he does it, challenging fellow “old guys” to do the same.

As a young actor, he fell victim to the vices that plague some in the business, and sadly many do not survive them.
Not only is he sound in body, but the “Diagnosis Murder” actor has also kept his craft alive. He is still able to dance and sing as he did in his heyday. His talents were displayed in the recent film “Mary Poppins Returns,” starring Emily Blunt and Lin Manuel Miranda.

When offered a choice among three dance routines, he chose the most challenging one just to prove that he could do it at 92. And the actor has no plans of fading away. He is determined to reach that century mark. Referring to his fellow actor and comedian who lived to be 100, the nonagenarian said:

“George Burns made it. And I’m gonna make it too.”

Van Dyke has shown that his musical prowess is intact, singing with his wife, Arlene Silver. In a video released on Valentine’s Day, they gave a sweet rendition of Doris Day’s “Everybody Loves a Lover,” originally performed in 1958.

The actor is also known for having a kind and generous heart. He frequently visits the Malibu Community Labor Exchange, which is an organization that connects people looking for work with employers. Not only did he chat with the homeless, but he also handed out money to help them out.

Even the challenging seasons and roles, or the projects that had a less-than-glowing reception by critics and audiences, all served to make him into the actor and man he is.
A few weeks later, Van Dyke, who employees have called an “angel of God,” was spotted at the same charitable foundation dropping off dozens of winter coats. He bought the red plaid jackets to be handed out to those who didn’t have something warm to shield them from the cold.

However, the actor has not always been health conscious. When he was younger, he fell victim to the vices that plague some in the business, and sadly many do not survive them. The challenges he faced with his health inspired him to change. Having lived to a ripe old age, he said:

“Had I known I’d live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself.”

Van Dyke reportedly battled alcoholism in the 1970s. He was also a smoker for more than 50 years, smoking 20 to 40 cigarettes a day. He said he found smoking much harder to quit than alcohol. The actor also had spinal surgery in April 2011.

In 2023, the “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” star was among the honorees of the 43rd ceremony of the Kennedy Center Honors. These awards are given to exceptional talents in the performing arts. The actor, who was retracing the steps on his career path to that point, said:

“Recognition from your peers is always icing on the cake. How did I get to a Kennedy award? I never trained or did anything. I just ­enjoyed myself.”

Van Dyke was celebrated alongside fellow legends Debbie Allen, Joan Baez, Garth Brooks, and Midori. He and his wife, Silver, walked the red carpet together. The actor, who wore a black tuxedo and a wide smile, carried a cane. Silver looked elegant in a floor-length shimmering gown with a revealing neckline.

As he reflected on his 70-year career in Hollywood, Van Dyke felt fortunate to have had great opportunities. Even the challenging seasons and roles, or the projects that had a less-than-glowing reception by critics and audiences, all served to make him into the actor and man he is.

His appeal spans several generations of fans because his work is interwoven in the fabric of people’s lives.
One such instance was the critique of his cockney accent in “Mary Poppins,” which some believe cost him during award season. The Kennedy Center Honor was a surprise to the modest Van Dyke, who had no expectation of being recognized at that age and stage in his career. Some would say that, given his years in Hollywood, it was long overdue.

Van Dyke and Silver have an unconventional relationship, as he is 46 years older than she is. But their love story sounds like a fairytale. Speaking about the gap, Van Dyke joked:

“The age difference hasn’t been a problem at all. Emotionally I’m about 13. She’s very, very wise for her age so I’m just having the time of my life.”

At first, the difference in their ages was a source of worry for Silver. But after spending time with the actor, she warmed to the idea of being in a relationship with him. She viewed him less as his age and more as a friend until it was no longer an issue.

The two met at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, where Silver was working as a makeup artist for five years. The actor introduced himself, and they struck up a conversation. Later, Van Dyke, hired her to work on some of his movies on the Hallmark channel. As they spent more time together, their friendship deepened.

After six years as friends turned lovers, Silver and Van Dyke had a private wedding in February 2012 at a chapel in Malibu.
Silver was there to support him when he lost his partner of 33 years. After a while, they noticed that they enjoyed spending time with each other more than with any other person. Silver recognized that Van Dyke had the qualities she had been searching for.

She described her husband as the “perfect partner” and said their relationship was like a second childhood for both of them. She gets to have fun with an open-minded and enthusiastic partner who loves her. When asked what the best part about being married to her husband was, Silver said:

“Everything. He makes me feel like I can do anything. He’s my biggest fan. He just believes in me.”

The makeup artist reflected that her life felt like a modern fairytale. She went from working behind the scenes at events in Hollywood to getting dressed and made up on the red carpet next to her man. The two have managed to blend their lives, and the people in her life were so pleased to see her happy.

After six years as friends turned lovers, Silver and Van Dyke had a private wedding in February 2012 at a chapel in Malibu. Rather than a traditional wedding gown, Silver wore a simple pink dress from a retail store.

Their life together is full of “laughter, music, dancing, kindness, positivity and joy.”
In September of the same year, the couple had a second ceremony with a marine/circus theme. The eclectic event featured a circus tent with a gymnast in a plastic bubble pool and a hula-hooping bride, keeping in character with the joyful couple.

On his part, Van Dyke said that getting married to Silver was one of his smartest decisions. She fills their home with music and love and is a great cook. Speaking about the bond he shares with his “angel,” the actor said:

“We share an attitude. She can go with the flow. She loves to sing and dance, which we do almost every day. She’s just delightful.”

Their shared interests and perspective on life have made for a compatible union. Their life together is full of “laughter, music, dancing, kindness, positivity and joy.” Silver shares select moments on her Instagram page as well as the TikTok account they share.

Silver has said that she doesn’t mind when fans flock to the popular actor. His appeal spans several generations of fans because his work is interwoven in the fabric of people’s lives. The couple makes their home in Malibu, and the lovebirds are devoted to each other. On playing an important role in her husband’s life, Silver gushed:

“I do my best to take care of him and make him happy. I just think me being here is making him happy. I cook for him and I love taking care of him.”

Van Dyke is a loving grandfather of seven grandchildren. He and his first wife, Margie Willett, had four children: Barry Van Dyke, Carrie Beth van Dyke, Christian Van Dyke, and Stacy Van Dyke. While filming “Diagnosis Murder” with his son Barry, they often had other family members appear on the show.

As he approaches and hopefully surpasses that 100-year goal, Dick Van Dyke will go down in history as a shining beacon of the entertainment industry, a fixture in the history of American culture, and a generous member of his community.

At just three years old, Rennie Foster wowed audiences as he debuted his drumming skills on stage performing with his parents. Rennie’s appearance, shared by his mother in a video on Instagram, marked a captivating family moment on stage, impressing audiences and hinting at a promising musical future.

In a delightful showcase of emerging talent, Katharine McPhee and David Foster’s son, Rennie, at just 3 years old, captured the hearts of fans during a performance on stage at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on February 25.

The celebrated musical duo introduced their son to the stage, where he joined them and showcased his talent for playing the drums.

McPhee took to Instagram to share this special occurrence, captioning the video, “had a VERY special guest join us on stage for the first time 🥁 #ProudMom.”

In the video, lasting just over 30 seconds, Rennie is seen playing the drums with vigor as his father plays the piano and McPhee moves to the rhythm of “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion).”

Despite Rennie’s apparent involvement with the drums, the “American Idol” alum was quick to clarify the reality behind the adorable performance. In a candid revelation in the comments section, she explained:

“By the way… I hope people realize that JR -the legend-@johnjrrobinson1 -our incredible drummer is drumming & Rennie is only copying to the best of his ability unmic’d- and it was cute to watch his first on stage debut.”

The clip has since become a hit among fans, praising the couple’s “child prodigy.” One person wrote, “Omg he’s too good I can’t deal. Bring him to every show!,” while others expressed how adorable Rennie was on stage, writing, “This is the cutest thing in the world” and “My heart. Stop it right now this is the most precious thing I have seen.”

Fans also acknowledged the source of Rennie’s talent. Addressing McPhee, one wrote, “Amazing talent! He’s clearly inherited both of your musical dominant genes!” Meanwhile, another fan conveyed, “I love it……Mommy sidestage cheering on her future star Rennie Foster!

Rennie’s drumming aptitude had already made waves before this recent performance. In January, his mother uploaded a TikTok video revealing his musical flair.

In the clip, Rennie energetically drums to Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You” on his personalized red drum set. On the sidelines, his father observes with amusement, offering guidance at moments.

In the text overlaying the video, McPhee reveals, “my 2-year-old baby is a genius.” She then guides the camera through a hallway to the room where Rennie is playing the drums.

Dressed in a gray T-shirt and sporting headphones, Rennie is fully immersed, masterfully keeping pace with the King of Pop’s rhythm. Foster, clearly enjoying the scene, nods in sync with the beat.

Rennie had just turned three last week, and the family marked this special occasion with a trip to Disney World, an event McPhee captured and shared on Instagram.

She revealed that they ventured on as many rides as possible, thoroughly enjoying themselves, except one ride that left them feeling queasy.

McPhee was pleasantly surprised by Rennie’s bravery when meeting Mickey Mouse; he wasn’t the least bit scared and even high-fived the iconic character, while she managed an awkward hug. Moreover, she highlighted a pianist whose performance earned Foster’s nod of approval.

Their culinary adventures were also featured, including the delectable pastries they indulged in. A memorable moment during their meal was Rennie pretending to play the drums with a pair of straws, a playful act his father happily joined in on.

Rennie’s journey into the spotlight at just three years old offers more than just a glimpse of his emerging talent. It opens a window into the distinct parenting approaches of his parents.

Despite their harmonious life, the couple faces differences in their parenting styles, shaped by the generational gap between them.

Foster, who already has five grown-up children, prefers a traditional way of disciplining. He thinks it’s time to start setting rules for Rennie, but McPhee doesn’t fully agree. She believes in a gentler approach, focusing on patience and understanding instead of punishment like time-outs.

“My take is that you can have more mindful parenting opposed to just assuming that a two or three-year-old can have time alone to reflect on what they’ve done poorly,” McPhee revealed in November.

Their different approaches on how to discipline their child, with McPhee describing Foster’s as “results-based,” don’t cause fights between them. Instead, they respect each other’s opinions.

McPhee sees discipline as something they should do together, slowly, as Rennie grows. She thinks it’s important for Rennie to learn about personal space and how to behave from interacting with others outside the family, like teachers and classmates.

Their story, alongside Rennie’s early steps into music, highlights how they’re working to bring him up as a kind and well-rounded person. Despite their different methods, their main goal is to raise Rennie with love, respect, and patience.

Shaquille O’Neal is perhaps one of the most popular basketball players of all time. The athlete is not just famous because of how well he played the game but also because of how generous he is!

Over the years, there have been multiple stories that have come out that highlight just how generous Shaq is. He is often seen paying bills for other people at restaurants as well as leaving waitstaff with very generous tips.

The Collins Kids is a popular Instagram account for a family with nine siblings. It is no secret that Shaq is friends with the family and often meets them to spend time with them.

The Instagram account is run by Karissa, the young mother of 9 children, and has amassed over 350k followers. Shaq had been communicating with the family over the Instagram account. And at the beginning of this year, he even paid the young family a visit.

During his first visit with them, he spent quality time with the children and doted on them. Karissa wrote in a post she made later about the visit, “He came in and played “Watch ya mouth” with the kids, loved on them, encouraged them, entertained them, took pics with them, gave them gifts, encouraged us as parents, and just showed us so much love.”

And while even this sweet interaction was enough for the family, the legendary athlete had something else in mind. A few months after the initial meeting, he reached out again and surprised the family with dinner. “Last night we had a surprise visit from Shaq. He took us to dinner as a family at babes chicken. It was so much fun to just hang out and eat dinner with him.”

While again, this seemed to make the family plenty happy, the NBA player had other plans. The next day, he took the family to the Mercedes dealership and order a custom 15-passenger van for them that they are due to receive in mid-July.

The family was shocked at his generosity and the kids were delighted and couldn’t stop hugging their hero.

And that wasn’t all Shaq did! The family went out to dinner with the NBA legend again. They said during the dinner, he spread happiness all around.

“He then took us to dinner at rainforest café where he paid for another [table’s] entire meal not knowing that they were from out of state and here on missions. And then he tipped our waitress $1000 after her car broke down today,” Karissa said.

During their second dinner together, Shaq found out that the father of nine was having issues with his truck. The air conditioning and heating hadn’t been working properly for a while.

Immediately, Shaq knew what he wanted to do. He took the family to the Ford dealership and bought the dad a new truck!

The family couldn’t feel more blessed! Apart from his generous gifts, Shaquille O’Neal also spent quality time with them which they were more than grateful for.

Karissa wrote, “He also spent time encouraging us and loving on our children and speaking life into our family.”

Shaquille O’Neal is clearly a wonderful human being. Not everyone with his amount of wealth is as generous with it.

Share Shaq’s generous acts with others to inspire them to do the same!

Princess Diana was quite the most popular lady on the planet! In the 80’s and’s everything 90 might do she made was reported by paparazzi.

While it appears as though she was consistently at the center of attention, we have gathered a few intriguing pictures that give a more close look into her life.

The accompanying pictures depict an exceptionally extraordinary side of Diana before her life reached a conclusion.

Ski Excursion

In 1994, Princess Diana, hit the slants in Austria with her children William and Harry. This image was taken when Harry was just 9.

Ring the Bells

There was a lot of controversy around Diana’s wedding details. She chose her engagement ring from a catalog. Most royal engagement rings are custom designed. It consisted of 14 solitaire diamonds around a 12-carat sapphire set in white gold from a Garrard jewelry collection catalog. When she passed away it was passed down to Kate Middleton.

The Nerves!

Diana was so nervous that when she made it to the altar she called her future husband by the wrong name! She called him Philip Charles Arthur George instead of just Charles Philip!

Train Troubles

Designers of Diana’s 25-foot train didn’t consider how difficult it would be to walk in and it ended up causing some problems on the wedding day. The dress and its train ended up being a little-crushed inside the carriage. There were visible wrinkles on her dress.

Tiara in Training

Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, comments that her elaborate tiara gave her a headache! During an interview, he said, “In the evening we all went to a sort of semi-private party and she was there and she seemed incredibly relaxed and happy and I just remember she had a cracking headache too because she wasn’t used to wearing a tiara all morning.” Regardless, Diana wore the Spencer Tiara, which had been in Diana’s family for almost a century.

Red Flag

It wasn’t always smooth sailing for these two, there was some trouble in paradise from the start. For example, in 1981, when their engagement was confirmed, a reporter asked the two if they were in love. Diana said, “Of course,” while Charles said, “Whatever ‘in love’ means.”

Safety First

The press was desperate to sneak some pictures of Diana’s dress. They ripped up sketches after showing them to Diana just in case nobody would sneak in and take a peek.
