Charles took Diana, who had come to Windsor, to the nursery. He didn't even get down on one knee, he just suddenly asked her if she would marry him, which surprised her a lot, and at first she thought he was joking. ,,He told me he missed me a lot and then asked me if I would marry him. I thought he was joking, so I started laughing and I told him: 'Okay, he can,'" said Diana.

After accepting his proposal, Diana told him that she loved him very much, to which he replied: 'Whatever love means'.

Diana looked chic in an Alistair Blair cinched dress accessorised with a vibrant teal belt and a pair of oversized white sunglasses. Her outfit also proved to be suitable for when she played a game of boules (petanque) at an elderly care home later that same day.

The editor of Royalty Magazine, Ingrid Seward, revealed that the couple was much more amicable by the time their divorce was finalized. "Diana did tell me something quite interesting," shared Ingrid. "She said that on the day of the divorce, she and Charles sat down together on the sofa and they both cried."
