WTH was Diana thinking when she married Charles? I never could figure out why such a beautiful woman would be so besotted with him.
At least William & Harry seem well grounded.
Diana was an emotionally immature 19-year old when she got engaged and had just turned 20 when she married, and like young women of that age, probably thought love would conquer all and probably idealized and romanticized Charles rather than seeing him for who he really was. It is said that she did want to back out at the last minute but there was too much pressure on her to go forward with the wedding.
Because she was 19 when they married. Also, because it was arranged. Liz likely knew she could bend little naïve Diana to her will and hopefully keep Chuckie away from married horseface long enough to have some heirs. Diana was crying the day of the wedding because she found out he was on the phone with his mistress shortly before the ceremony. Too bad Diana didn't have the fortitude to tell them all to take a hike. She might be alive today if only she had.
