Every marriage has its challenges, but for Princess Diana and Prince Charles, their first major fight came just days after saying "I do."
After a royal wedding watched by 750 million people worldwide, the newlyweds set off on a 12-day Mediterranean cruise aboard the royal yacht Britannia. But the distance between them was already apparent. In a letter written from the yacht, Charles described spending much of the trip apart from his new wife: "Diana dashes about chatting up all the sailors and the cooks in the galley etc. while I remain hermit-like on the veranda deck," he wrote, despite insisting, "Marriage is very jolly."
Tensions escalated when Diana noticed Charles wearing a pair of personalized cufflinks - a gift from his former girlfriend, Camilla Parker Bowles. "Cufflinks arrive on his wrists, two 'C's entwined like the Chanel 'C's. Got it in one; knew exactly. 'Camilla gave you those, didn't she?'" Diana later recalled to biographer Andrew Morton. "He said, 'Yes, so what's wrong? They're a present from a friend.' And, boy, did we have a row."
According to PEOPLE, citing Diana's recorded conversations with biographer Andrew Morton and royal biographer Catherine Mayer, the cufflinks were part of a set Camilla had given Charles, and Diana was well aware of it. The moment wasn't an isolated one. Before the wedding, Diana had discovered a "goodbye" bracelet Charles intended to give Camilla, and during the honeymoon, two photos of Camilla reportedly fell out of his diary.

As the trip continued, Diana grew increasingly consumed by thoughts of the woman still connected to her new husband. "At night, I dreamt of Camilla the whole time," she told Morton.
Charles and Diana went on to separate in 1992 and finalized their divorce in 1996. Both later acknowledged relationships outside their marriage, including Charles's rekindled romance with Camilla, whom he married in 2005, years after Diana's death in 1997.
Looking back, that argument has become one of the earliest signs that the royal marriage so many hoped would be a fairytale was facing serious cracks from the very beginning. Proof that sometimes the earliest warning signs can arrive before the honeymoon is even over.
