8 Times Princess Diana Broke The Royal Code

Long before the British public chastized Meghan Markle for violating the royal protocol, there was the rebellious Princess Diana. What exactly did she do to deserve the wrath of the royal family? Let’s find out!

1. Diana chose a ring and changed the vows.

The royals don’t usually buy “cheap” rings from jewelry catalogs, but Diana didn’t care. She picked the ring herself, which in the end went to Prince William and Kate Middleton. Oh, and that part of the wedding vows that says she would have to obey Prince Charles was totally archaic and inappropriate, so it had to go.

2. Diana had a job before becoming a princess.

When Diana married Prince Charles, she gave up her job as a kindergarten teacher. Nevertheless, her children remained her main focus. Of course, she’d leave them with nannies from time to time, but she tried to plan her schedule around spending as much time with the kids as possible.

3. Diana sent her lovely kids to kindergarten.

Can you imagine little Prince William just going to a regular kindergarten with mere mortals? Diana insisted that little Willy gets to go to a public preschool educational institution, which was a huge no-no for the royals.
