In contemporary society, we can't help but think of the characteristics of women "buying, buying and buying".
And this has to be reminiscent of those women in the royal family, they are not bad money and time, are they born with this "buy, buy, buy" characteristics?
Others don't know much, but the late Diana is a very clear example: before entering the royal family, her life was not cared about, but after entering the royal family, people suddenly found that the princess loved to buy things and dress herself.
Some people say that this is no way, as a member of the royal family, her image is very important, whether it is attending events or visiting abroad, different looks are necessary.
Well, this one does not accept rebuttals. However, in addition to the image designer who has her own court royal use, Diana is definitely a woman who loves beautiful clothes and gorgeous jewelry.
On this point, we can look back at an incident that happened when she divorced Charles, which, although it is only a small story, is very well reflected in Diana's "generous" personality.
In 1995, after Diana said in an interview with a television station that "the marriage of three people is too crowded", the old queen was furious, and she immediately issued an order: Hurry up and divorce!
In fact, at this time, Diana and Charles had been separated for many years, and they had the name of husband and wife, but they did not have the reality of husband and wife. Such a life was not known to the outside world at that time, but only saw the "love" pretended between them.
From 1992 to 1995, Diana and Charles's relationship took a sharp turn for the worse, but they had to attend various events for the sake of the royal family, and then there were two people dressed up but did not intersect.
Whenever Diana attended events, she always dressed up stylishly, appropriately and beautifully. As Charles put it: a woman who loves to be in the limelight.
However, if you want to "get the limelight", you must have capital, and this first capital is to buy, buy, buy.
At that time, in addition to the royal designer of Kensington Palace, Diana maintained the purchasing conventions of many external fashion brands: new products, luxury products, once introduced, will always be the first to push Diana.
Diana, on the other hand, makes a lot of choices and purchases based on her liking.
But instead of paying, she keeps the bill every year, and at the end of the year, the brand will send the bill to settle the bill.
However, because Diana is the Princess of Wales, her purchase has its name: to spend on royal official duties.
Therefore, this bill is sent directly to the Prince of Wales, that is, Crown Prince Charles, and his husband pays for the cost.
Charles must have been unhappy about this, but if he didn't pay the bills, he was obviously not a gentleman. After all, your wife bought clothes for official business, so who pays if you don't pay for it?
For a long time, Charles always complained while helplessly paying off the money for that year.
This continued until 1996, when the divorce became a fact.
The royal family paid a lot of costs for the divorce, not only did they hire the best lawyer for Charles, but they also tried everything to keep the cost of the divorce lawsuit down.
But Diana is not a vegetarian, and since the divorce has become a fact, she simply makes a fierce hand and makes a one-time compensation.
The pain endured after 16 years of marriage, the pain tasted after years of payment, were all converted into pounds sterling and written into a divorce request:
Charles paid a lump sum of £40 million in marital property, retained royal status, retained jewelry rights, paid £1 million in annual alimony, continued to reside in Kensington Palace, purchased another £2.5 million or so house, and received the title of Humanitarian Parade Ambassador.
Regarding Diana's divorce request, it has been complained about by many people: a woman who is full of love, as long as money and status at the time of divorce, has never asked for custody of children.
So what? The father of the child is the future king, and her child is also the future king's successor.
Obviously, such an identity, as well as the identity of a member of the royal family, is still the most appropriate to stay in the royal family. If Diana asked for custody of her children, what could she give to her two children?
Therefore, in fact, there is a difference between divorce and ordinary people's divorce. Moreover, Diana has asked in divorce proceedings to continue living in Kensington Palace, thus gaining unrestricted access to her children. As long as the mother is around, there is no custody, so what?
Eventually, Charles accepted the divorce claim, paying £17 million in compensation and £480,000 in annual alimony.
However, the title of Her Royal Highness Princess Diana was not retained, nor was the title of Parade Ambassador.
But charles's accumulated wealth over the years has been completely hollowed out, and his financial adviser once said, "She (Diana) ruined Charles." ”
According to the data, when Charles paid the divorce compensation, his own money was not enough, and he borrowed millions more from the Queen's mother.
Under such circumstances, what is the taste of Crown Prince Charles's heart can be imagined.
Anyway, his financial advisor said this:
"Princess Diana took every penny of his money, and I was told to cash out all his investments so that he could give diana all his cash, and Charles was very upset about it."
However, at this time, Diana's personal bill arrived: a payment list of more than 40 stores in total.
Charles was extremely upset and refused to pay directly, and he also sent a lawyer's letter to these merchants: from 2 September 1996, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales or his representatives should invoice directly to the Office of the Princess of Wales at Kensington Palace 7.
What do you mean?
In a word: I Prince Charles is no longer waiting, and you send bills, invoices and other things directly to Diana, which has nothing to do with me.
Well, if this is Charles's last stubbornness, that's understandable. After all, Diana was divorced and had emptied her personal assets.
In such a situation, how can you Diana be so kind as to let people buy reimbursement for your purchases?
Through this small matter, we seem to see a very clear fact: although Diana is a princess, she is still a beautiful woman at heart, and her nature to buy things is true.
At the same time, she also has a unique female emotional treatment: when she is unhappy, she uses shopping to alleviate it.
It is precisely because of this that during the years of her divorce with Charles, she bought a large number of clothes, jewelry and other things.
Unfortunately, this did not bring her real happiness, on the contrary, after a year, she died of incense, and the divorce compensation she won did not cost her life, which is really sad!
