Diana's Revenge Dress Wasn't Revenge — It Was a Military Operation

Описание: On June 29, 1994, Prince Charles appeared on national television and admitted to adultery. That same evening, Princess Diana walked into the Serpentine Gallery in a black off-the-shoulder Christina Stambolian dress that showed more skin than any royal had ever shown in public. Every newspaper in the world ran her photograph on the front page. Charles's confession was buried on page seven. This was not a coincidence. This was not spontaneous. This was planned — and I'm going to show you exactly how.
But first, you need to understand the operation that was already underway. Not Diana's. Charles's.Because what most people forget — or never knew — is that June 29 was supposed to be Charles's night. He'd been planning it for over a year. He'd invested enormous political capital, personal vulnerability, and the credibility of his entire household into a single, high-stakes media gambit. And by the time he sat down in front of the cameras with Jonathan Dimbleby, Charles believed he was executing the most important public relations manoeuvre of his life.He was right about that. Just not in the way he expected.To understand why Charles agreed to strip himself bare on national television, you have to understand just how bad things had gotten. By early 1993, the Prince of Wales was arguably the most humiliated man in Britain. Not disliked. Not controversial. Humiliated. And the humiliation had a very specific, very public origin.
