BBC worried as The Crown is set to tell the story of the Diana documentary drama

doomed marriage of Princess Diana and Prince Charles started with what appeared to be a fairytale wedding.It took place in St Paul’s Cathedral - a historic London landmark - and Lady Diana Spencer wore a wedding dress with a huge 25-foot train fit for royalty.The church was packed to the rafters, the bride and groom arrived separately by horse-drawn chariot, Diana entered with five bridesmaids following behind her and the Archbishop of Canterbury - then Robert Runcie - conducted the marriage.But there was a subtle but significant difference to past royal weddings during one crucial element of the church service.And that alteration has stuck, with modern members of the royal family emulating Diana in breaking a 300-year-old tradition.Princess Diana tweaked the vows by omitting the word “obey”.Since 1662, the Anglican Book of Common Prayer listed the line in the marriage vows: “To love, cherish and to obey, till death us do part.”Previously, all royal brides had committed to show obedience to their husbands.But when it came to tie the knot in July 1981 to the heir to the throne, Diana became the first to drop this word from her own vows.Instead, she promised to Charles to "love him, comfort him, honour and keep him".When Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, married Prince Andrew five years later, she opted to stick with the word “obey”.However, more recent weddings have seen the brides take a different approach.Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, followed her late mother-in-law’s lead during her nuptials with Prince William - 30 years after the tradition was first broken.Meghan Markle, during her wedding to Prince Harry, did likewise, as did Princess Eugenie.The changing of the wording was not the only difference

Victoria Beckham also found herself caught up in accusations regarding a press leaking scandal - seemingly much like Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy in recent times but without the court battle. In the new publication, Tom claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had become "addicted" to the media - with the pair constantly reading stories about themselves.

Prince Harry "wouldn’t have married Meghan Markle" if Princess Diana was alive, The Queen’s former aide has strongly claimed.

BBC director general Tim Davie has pledged to "never" air Princess Diana's "Panorama" interview on the network again and urged other broadcasters to follow suit. Diana was interviewed by journalist Martin Bashir 27 years ago for the network’s "Panorama" program. An independent investigation conducted by Lord Dyson found that the public broadcaster "fell short of the high standards of integrity and transparency which are its hallmark." The report also found that Bashir used "deceitful behavior" to gain access to Diana, including allegedly forging documents.

“deceitful behavior” that Bashir, 59, used to procure the 1995 tell-all talk.A source close to the production revealed to the Daily Mail that scriptwriters of “The Crown” have woven in findings from the report into storylines for Season 5.“[The season] will dramatize events surrounding the ‘Panorama’ interview, given the pivotal part it played during the time period the new series covers,” the insider said.“It will reflect what we now know about how the interview was obtained and how Diana was treated,” the source noted.Diana’s brother Charles Spencer said Bashir, who no longer works for the BBC, used fake bank documents and lied about Lady Di being bugged by security services to get the interview. Watched by more than 23 million people in 1995, Diana said “there were three of us in this marriage,” referring to husband Prince Charles and his now-wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles.Once the fakery and lies were uncovered, the late Princess of Wales’ son, Prince William, asked the BBC to never air the bombshell interview again.BBC’s director general Tim Davie said in a statement on Thursday that the episode will never see the light of day in the future.

David Beckham was reportedly left “outraged” after Meghan Markle accused his wife Victoria Beckham of “indiscretion”, a royal author has claimed. In his new explosive book, Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, Tom Bower claims that Prince Harry and Meghan would spend every night “scouring the internet” to read reports and negative social media comments. He claims they “irrationally grouped the two together” and “fed each other’s frenzy about the media”.Tom says that Meghan, 40, began to fear that friends were leaking stories to the press.

The BBC’s chief yesterday said the broadcaster will “never” again screen its era-defining Panorama interview with Diana, Princess of Wales and urged other broadcasters to follow its example.

Princess Diana.The People's Princess reportedly loved to give children gifts that were noisy and tricky for their parents to assemble.It was typical of the cheeky and fun-loving nature of the princess who once gave her then teenage son William a birthday cake in the shape of a pair of boobs.Following her tragic death in August 1997, Diana's long-time friend Julia Samuel decided to carry on her pal's tradition.Godmother to both Prince George and Prince William, Ms Samuel described how she still buys 'impossible' toys for the family that William then spends days attempting to put together with cautious assembling.It may not especially please George's parents, but is all in good spirits.Ms Samuel said: “I do to George what [Diana] did to us, which is give impossible toys that are really noisy and take a lot of making.“I come in slightly tipped by the size of the present that William then has to spend days putting together."And then put all the machinery together and it makes awful tooting noises and lights flashing and all of that. That makes me laugh and it makes George laugh."The traditional noisy homage to Diana is expected to take place again this year on July 22 when Prince George celebrates his ninth birthday.The young royal - third in line to the throne - was born at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington to The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on July 22, 2013.He was introduced to the world the following day when he was just over 24 hours old.Ms Samuel said George is amazing, funny, feisty and cheeky."God she [Diana] would have loved him so much.
