Prince Charles and Princess Diana

Although they broke with royal tradition somewhat by honeymooning outside of Britain, Charles and Diana's trip wasn't some idyllic stay in a far-flung tropical locale – but it was long.

After they followed in the footsteps of Charles's parents by staying a couple of days at Broadlands, they took a short cruise around the Mediterranean and Aegean on the Queen's ship Britannia, ending in the Scottish Highlands with the rest of the Royal Family. They stayed there for two months, but Diana felt isolated and out of sync with the others, explaining in her autobiography that Charles took them off on long walks where he would read to her and she would do tapestry.
