Prince Charles’ romance with Diana was all over the media. He was under pressure to find the perfect bride since things didn’t work out between him and his first love, Camilla Shand. He took an interest in Diana in summer 1980, and they were engaged in February 1981. Likewise, Meghan and Harry started dating in June 2016 and decided to get married a year later, in September 2017.

Both of Diana’s sons and their wives often honor her. That is why Meghan’s first charity event was chosen carefully, it had to be something dear to Diana’s heart. In December 2017, Meghan and Harry made an appearance at Terrence Higgings Trust World AIDS Day Charity Fair in Nottingham. Diana was involved in AIDS research, especially in the 1980s and ‘90s when there wasn’t much knowledge about this disease.
