The eternal love of all Britons, Princess Diana was recognized as a world style icon during her lifetime. She was adored and adored for her delicate taste and kind heart. But Diana herself did not like much about herself, especially in appearance.
Dislike for her face in Diana woke up long ago. Back in 1990, when the famous artist Israel Zohar was preparing her portrait, the princess constantly asked for something to be corrected in it. She especially did not like a too large nose, which has repeatedly become the subject of fierce discussions in the press.
To hide the "flaw", the crowned person took advantageous positions in the pictures and distracted attention from her nose with lush hairstyles. Indeed, in many photos, Diana poses with her head tilted and slightly taking her to the side. On the contrary, the princess raised her eyes and looked into the lens. Subsequently, this pose for pictures became a trademark.
Another feature that Diana could not stand in herself was the habit of slouching. The fact is that, due to her tall stature, the young princess constantly bent down, which led to problems with her posture. The girl's shoulders were always tilted forward and slightly lowered, and her spine was also curved. The princess often had to lower her head so that her shorter interlocutors did not have the impression that she was looking at them arrogantly - from top to bottom.
The girl was very ashamed of her height, which was about 173 centimeters. She was also ashamed of him because her crowned husband had the same height. If you pay attention to the joint pictures of the spouses, you can see that in most of them Diana looks shorter than her husband, although this is not so.
The fact is that the court photographers deliberately put her in front of her husband and did not allow her to wear high-heeled shoes. Choosing the right angles, they took such pictures. Then it was important that Prince Charles looked more impressive and taller than his wife.
It would seem that slender and graceful Diana could not suit her weight? But, like many other girls with complexes, the princess considered herself fat. This feeling tormented her all subsequent family life with the prince after one of his sloppy phrases.
Even before the wedding, Charles once put his hand on the waist of his bride and dropped a seemingly humorous: "Oh, we're a little overweight, aren't we?" But to 19-year-old Diana at that time, these words did not seem like a joke, they sunk deep into her soul, thereby poisoning her life and health.
After the groom's careless statement, the girl began to rapidly lose weight. So, at the time of the wedding, her waist was 58 cm, although it used to be 76 cm. According to the designer who sewed Diana's wedding dress, the princess lost so much weight that a skull was visible under the thin fair skin of her face.
After that unfortunate moment, the girl suffered from bulimia for ten years. The nervous breakdown was provoked by problems with her husband. Although the couple portrayed love and happiness in public, in fact, there was no harmony in their relationship. Also, the princess treated seriously ill people a lot, which greatly damaged her psyche. Diana's condition was worsened by the fact that she was ashamed of her illness, hated herself for it, but did not receive treatment.
In model pictures, Princess Diana looks so stylish, relaxed and beautiful that it is simply impossible to believe that she could not love her appearance so much. It turns out that Diana simply could not stand her famous chiseled shoulders either.
The girl believed that she had the physique of a swimmer with broad shoulders. But luckily for the princess, in those years there were fashionable outfits, jackets and dresses with wide shoulders. Therefore, Diana added them to all of her outfits, thereby hiding her own shoulders. It seemed as if the princess was just following fashion.
Diana gave birth to two children - princes Harry and William. Like many women, after giving birth, the princess's figure underwent changes, especially the happiness of motherhood affected her belly. Realizing that he is no longer as fit and handsome as before, Diana began to actively play sports and quickly got in shape. Physical activity had a positive effect on her emotional health as well.
Diana began to speak openly about her psychological problems only after her husband openly announced that he had an affair with another. The princess began to talk more often with the press about her personal life, admitted that the last years of marriage were very difficult for her. So the girl was able to gradually get rid of the complexes that tormented her, insecurity, improved her life. Until, unfortunately, she died in 1997 in a car accident.
