At the 1981 Gala at the Royal Opera House in London, two extraordinary princesses met:
At that time, Diana was only a princess-to-be, and at that time, she and Charles had just been engaged, and the wedding was still in preparation.
It was Diana's first time at an official royal event, so she was a little nervous.
Although she had gone to Switzerland to receive a period of etiquette training before, it was all on paper, and now that she was going to practice, she was still a little uneasy in her heart.
At this party, there was another princess in the limelight---- princess of Monaco, Princess Grace.
Diana and Princess Grace can be said to be influential princesses that are rare in a hundred years.
They had only seen each other once, and the second time they had met was at Princess Grace's funeral.
Charles was 32 years old when he was engaged to Diana.
He and Camilla fell in love before he served in the military, but later during his military service, Camika married an officer.
Charles has always had an unforgettable old love.
As he grew older, as crown prince, he had to have a wife accompany him to various activities.
Charles began as a sister who pursued Diana, but after meeting Diana, he turned to the 19-year-old Diana.
Diana was born into the Spencer family and was also an aristocrat, and her parents divorced when she was 8 years old.
She has 2 older sisters above and a younger brother below.
When Diana was born, her parents had expected the third child to be a boy, but they didn't expect it to be another girl, and they were disappointed.
Because, according to the tradition of the time, the titles and family property of the nobility could only be inherited by the son.
Childhood experiences led to Diana's personality being a little sensitive, but she was lucky that God gave her tall figure and beauty.
Diana didn't get good grades in high school and didn't go on to college, and her mother helped her find a job as a kindergarten teacher.
Soon, she ushered in a turning point in her own destiny, that is, Charles began to pursue her.
When Charles brought her to the royal family, the Queen and the Queen were very fond of Diana.
Soon, Charles was engaged to Diana.
Diana's previous life experience was simple, going to school and becoming a kindergarten teacher after graduating from high school.
It was her first official royal event, and before she set off, she struggled with what to wear.
At that time, because she was not yet married to Charles, there was no one to guide her.
Diana chose a very simple black evening dress, thinking that this should not be wrong.
However, when she arrived at the scene, she found that the female soldiers who came were all dressed in bright and bright clothes, and in comparison, she was dressed too plainly and seemed out of place.
Prince Charles complained that Diana should not wear black.
Diana had been attending such an event for the first time, and she was a little nervous, and with Charles saying this about her again, she seemed even more nervous.
Diana later recalled that she was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her handbag.
In short, a little confused, and she didn't know anyone but Charles.
Charles was 32 years old at the time, and such a scene had long been commonplace and familiar with the road.
Charles went out of his way to talk to the guests and left Diana in the cold.
And because it was a low-cut skirt, it was a little tight, which made Diana even more uncomfortable.
You know, she was only 19 years old at the time, and she was not yet involved in the world.
In this case, Princess Grace appeared next to Diana.
Princess Grace was 51 years old at the time, and she wore a very luxurious blue-purple court evening dress, and tied her hair into braids on her head, elegant and dignified, which echoed the evening party very much.
Grace Wong was already a little blessed at the time, but this evening dress covered up her shortcomings very well.
Princess Grace has been the Princess of Monaco since she was 27 years old, and she has participated in similar scenes many times, so she has already experienced many battles.
She walked over to Diana and took the initiative to talk to Diana.
She told Diana to relax a little and praise Diana for her good temperament, and she would get used to such occasions in the future.
Like a caring elder, diana suddenly felt relaxed.
Grace's origins were superior to Diana's.
Grace was born into an enlightened and wealthy family in Philadelphia, USA, the second child in the family.
His father, a descendant of the Irish, won the gold medal in men's double oar rowing at the 7th Olympic Games in 1920 and went on to become a rich man in business.
Her mother, Margaret, was a college teacher and also enjoyed swimming.
Originally, the parents hoped to train their children to become sports champions and fight for the family. But Grace was shy and introverted as a child and did not like sports, which disappointed her father.
But after middle school, Grace became very brave, she dared to swim in the sea, and she also liked to play tennis.
She also showed her talent in acting, and when she first appeared on stage, she was only 12 years old.
She later enrolled at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and after graduation, Grace officially became an actress at the age of 20.
With her stunning beauty and her acting major, she soon had a great opportunity.
Grace also had a big advantage, her uncle was a popular playwright at the time, her uncle wrote the script, of course, the protagonist took good care of his own niece.
In 1950, Grace became popular for starring in the movie "Fourteen Hours".
Although in the film, her appearance time is only a few minutes, but the performance is very amazing, leaving an indelible impression on countless audiences.
Male fans gathered together and created a special fan support group.
Only two years after her debut, Grace jumped to the position of heroine and starred in the famous movie "High Noon".
Since then, she has been appreciated by the top director Hitchcock.
In 1995, Grace won the Oscar for "Country Girl", which was the most popular in the international film world. She was 26 years old.
At that time, many people said: Grace's Hollywood road is very smooth, it is simply a step by step.
Grace has only made 11 films in total, and it has only been a short period of five years, but it can almost be on a par with Ingrid Bergman and so on.
She is beautiful, pure, luxurious and passionate,
Hitchcock praised her as "an actor who doesn't need makeup, she makes film brilliant." ”
Because of the filming, Grace has had a scandal with many handsome male actors, including Clark, who has fascinated countless female fans. Gable.
That year, Grace finished her Oscars, and a French journalist warmly invited her to a party.
Among the parties was Prince Rainier III of Monaco.
After the party, the Prince of Monaco, gentlemanly, invited Grace to visit the monuments.
The feelings of the two people quickly warmed up, and after half a year of dating, the Prince of Monaco personally went to the United States to propose marriage.
Grace agreed, although she wanted to marry another country, but she was willing to take this xian for love, she was willing to risk this xian
In 1956, Grace married Prince Rainier III of Monaco, the year she became Princess of Monaco, at the age of 27.
In the year she got married, her countless fans were heartbroken.
Because she was previously an Oscar queen, because she was very famous, and now she is the princess of Monaco, her wedding has attracted much attention.
Countless media reported the wedding.
And the people of Monaco have also come out of the cave to see the future princess.
It can be said that it was Grace who made the small country of Monaco known to the world.
By the moment of marriage, Grace's life was still relatively perfect.
5 years after his debut, he won back an Oscar and married a Moroccan prince at the age of 27.
Grace is not a princess, but her beauty, her popularity, and making her the brightest star.
After becoming a princess, Grace gave birth to 3 children in succession:
They are Princess Caroline, Princess Stephanie and Prince Albert.
With the birth of the children, the husband cheated on her, but not in public, but Grace knew it.
British BBC writer Wendy Lith has done an interview, he interviewed many people, she found that Grace after marrying into the royal family, not as glamorous as in front of the camera.
The crown on top of her head was not so much glory as it was a shackle.
After marriage, her husband imposed many restrictions on her:
You are not allowed to take on the film again,
You are not allowed to associate with friends from hollywood in the past
Strangers are not allowed to meet without permission.
The maid was also specially invited to stare at her words and deeds.
This is undoubtedly the canary in the cage.
When she returned to the United States to visit her relatives, she secretly consulted a lawyer about divorce.
But the lawyer told her: If divorced, she would lose custody of her children.
For the sake of the child, she chose to be patient.
Like Diana, Grace is actively involved in philanthropy, and she hopes to use her influence to help the poor.
She is also the founder of a non-profit organization in Morocco.
Although her husband's derailment was like a dagger piercing her heart, she could only continue to play the role of the happy princess for the sake of her children.
In 1982, Grace took her daughter Stephanie out.
On her return, she drove the car, which made a "U-shaped" turn and rushed into the cliff.
It is said that because of a big fight with her rebellious daughter, she was emotionally out of control.
Fortunately, her daughter was injured and retrieved a life, but she lost her life.
The location of the accident was the rough road section where "Catch the Thief" was filmed that year.
When the news of Princess Grace's death came, Diana had just given birth to Prince William, and she was still very thin.
But she insisted on representing the British royal family at Princess Grace's funeral.
Although she had only seen one side before, Princess Grace's intimate and meticulous care was enough to warm Diana at that time.
The two princesses bear striking resemblance:
All have a tall figure, invincible beauty,
Both men are passionate about charity after marriage,
Both eventually died in a car accident, one 52 and one 36.
Fifteen years after Princess Grace's death, in August 1997, Princess Diana suffered a serious car accident in Paris.
Diana differs from Princess Grace in that:
Diana was a little braver, and she fought back in the face of her husband's infidelity.
Princess Grace, on the other hand, chose to be patient for the sake of her children.
As a result of her forbearance, she has been sullen and unhappy inside, which has also affected her health.
It can be said that Princess Diana and Princess Grace were selected to become princesses because they were very dazzling.
They are also very conscientious, after marriage, for the royal family to spread the leaves, dedicated to take care of the little princess, the little prince,
At the same time, she dutifully performed the duties of the queen and actively engaged in charity.
But their princely husbands later cheated and failed to keep their wedding promises.
And for these two exceptionally beautiful queens, the self-esteem is very strong, so the heart is very hurt.
Diana chose to fight the royal family to the end, and Princess Grace chose to be patient for the sake of her children.
And Princess Grace made even greater sacrifices after marriage, she left the United States she knew, went to the relatively conservative Monaco life, and gave up the career she loved.
People have to sigh, why is it so difficult to be a woman?
Even if it is a princess, the glamorousness is only superficial, and life is still a chicken feather.
Nowadays, many women, after marriage, even if they work hard, insist on running their own businesses for many reasons.
In addition to making yourself more fulfilling and more economically vocal, it is also to make yourself not see marriage as the whole of life.
Because, once you give up your career and regard marriage as the whole of life, if you don't meet expectations, your heart will be easily hurt.
After all, pinning all your hopes on men, since ancient times, there have been very few truly perfect endings.
