The Princess of Wales’s fears were laid bare in recordings by Diana given to journalist Andrew Morton. Then 19-years-old, Lady Diana Spencer said that the wedding to the Prince of Wales was the “worst day of her life”.
Diana said she felt unprepared for what her marriage to Charles would do.
She said: “I felt I was a lamb to the slaughter. And I knew it."
Diana recalled “crying my heart out on my honeymoon”.
Mr Morton also shared other quotes from the late Princess of Wales, where she said she “threw myself down the stairs” while pregnant with William.

Jennie Bond, a former BBC correspondent, also suggested Diana was not happy on her wedding day.
Appearing in the documentary Charles & Camilla: King and Queen in Waiting, she suggested that Camilla’s presence at the wedding made her “uneasy”.
She then said: “Diana told me much later in one of our private conversations that she had felt like a lamb to the slaughter as she walked up the aisle, which is very sad, but I think she knew that things weren’t quite right.
“When she saw Camilla in the congregation she was immediately uneasy about it.”
The royal couple separated in 1992, and divorced in 1996.
In a joint interview with the BBC at Buckingham Palace in 1981, Charles said that he was "delighted and frankly amazed that Diana is prepared to take me on”.
When asked if the couple were in love, Diana replied sheepishly, "Of course," while Charles said, "Whatever in love means," as he looked awkwardly to the floor.
