When young Lady Diana Spencer married Charles, the heir to the British throne in 1981, the whole world watched. The fairy-tale romance between a young man destined to rule and his beautiful, adoring princess, the spectacle of the wedding itself, and the birth of the first-born son in the early years of the marriage signaled a happy-ever after ending illustrated by the cover of this set of paper dolls by Whitman Publishing. The smiles on the paper dolls give no hint of the troubles in the marriage that occurred a mere ten years later, nor of the divorce that ended it in the mid1990s, nor of the tragedy of Diana's untimely death in 1997.
