Can you imagine that this middle-aged greasy uncle was also a little fresh meat when he was young?
The Spencer's beauty legend is such an incredible story. They have always enjoyed a good reputation in aristocratic circles, and their appearance has always been in the top position, even attracting the attention of the royal family. However, fate pushed them to the brink of misfortune. Let's uncover the mysteries of this family and discover their legends.
It is said that back then, the eighth generation Earl of Spencer, Edward, can be said to be a small fresh meat benchmark in the entire aristocratic circle.
As the eldest son of the Spencer family, Edward inherited the top genes of the family, a fair-skinned face with a high nose, deep eye sockets and gloomy eyes, and short blonde hair, making Edward look like one of the gods from Greek mythology.
What is even more impossible to look away is that this handsome face always has a proud and indifferent expression, as if the whole world has nothing to do with him, and everyone is not worthy of entering his field of vision. This arrogance and coldness add a touch of abstinence sexiness.
Because of this, Edward is always in the spotlight in social situations, and countless boys and girls cast envious eyes on him. But Edward never looked at people squarely, his gaze was always fixed on the distant horizon, as if a grander dream was calling him.
Contrary to Edward's proud image, his first wife, that is, Diana's biological mother, named Francis Ruth, judging from the old photos of that year, Francis's facial features are soft and delicate, the whole person looks elegant and sweet, golden hair, blue eyes, jade snow skin, coupled with a cheerful and lively personality, and the only son of the Spencer family John fell in love and married is also a perfect match.
It seems that Diana's appearance is indeed inherited from her parents' excellent genes.
Although it seems to be a talented woman and a match made in heaven, the married life of Diana's parents has not been happy and harmonious as expected, and one of the major factors is the "heir cloud" hanging above their heads.
As early as the 15th century, the Spencer family accumulated a lot of wealth through business, coupled with a good relationship with the royal family, and obtained the title of count. Diana's father, John Spencer, was the only one of two generations in the family, so soon after marriage, the entire family desperately hoped that they would give birth to a male heir.
It wasn't until 1965, when Francis gave birth to his fifth child, that the Spencers' coveted baby boy finally appeared.
With this child, she can really gain a foothold within the family, but the feelings and trust between husband and wife and within the family have long been worn away by reality.
Although they finally gave birth to a male heir as they wished, the relationship between John Spencer and his wife did not improve, but became more distant and cold.
For Francis, the birth of her son finally secured her status, but at the same time reminded her of the fact that she was a "fertility tool". And husband John, in fact, as early as when his wife was under pressure and even emotionally unstable because of multiple childbirths, he had another mind. It all finally exploded when Diana was about six years old.
At an evening party, Francis meets the mature and humorous Peter Sand Kidd, a businessman who is deeply sensible and caring for women. There is no one who does not crave warmth and affection, and Francis soon falls into this unexpected romance.
As gossip about the "Countess's Affair" spread, her husband John became the object of secret ridicule. At the same time, he also met Renee, who was a married woman at the time, and the advantages of this woman such as intellectual intelligence also fascinated him deeply.
Both parties no longer nostalgic for this broken marriage, and at the same time they are resentful of the hurt they have suffered in the marriage for many years. Coupled with the division disputes such as property, child custody and so on that must be experienced in the divorce process, the two completely turned against each other.
It wasn't until 1980 that Diana and Charles met at a banquet. Although 19-year-old Diana looks good, she is a little chubby, and she is not glamorous at the banquet. But their love began with Charles' fanatical pursuit, Diana's heartbeat.
It's not so much a love affair as it's a seemingly divorced political marriage.
Diana looked too immature in front of Charles. Emotionally, she was no match for Charles at all. At this time, Charles was 32 years old and had emotional entanglements with many women, Camilla was one of them, he was a veteran of the love scene. And for 19-year-old Diana, she is too simple and kind; Before she met Charles, she hadn't even been in a relationship.
In 1981, Prince Charles and Princess Diana held a grand wedding at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, which can be said to be a wedding that attracts worldwide attention.
And Count Edward Spencer, as Diana's father, personally handed over his daughter to Prince Charles, which began Diana's unfortunate queen career...
