We're just going to be real, guys — Princess Diana and Prince Charles were far from a perfect match. The two got engaged in February 1981 after going on only a dozen dates, and they wed five months later [1] in a lavish ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, capturing the hearts of millions. However, it wasn't long before rumours started circulating about their tumultuous, drama-filled union, and the two eventually divorced [2] in 1996. Their marriage may have been anything but magical, but there's no denying that the late Princess Diana was a total fashion queen [3], and the two had some pretty chic fashion moments together as well. Check out the gallery for just 22 of the royal couple's most stylish ensembles as husband and wife.
