Under the vigilant eyes of her mother, and on the supportive arm of her father, Diana prepared to take her wedding vows. She showed nerves only once, when she struggled with getting her husband's many names in the right order.
As the heir to the British throne, Prince Charles was usually the subject of media attention and his courtship of Diana was no exception.
The public singled her out for public affection: she seemed so truly pleased to be with ordinary folk, even if she could no longer be ordinary herself. Within a year of her marriage, on June 21, 1982, she gave birth to a son, Prince William.
