6 Princess Diana’s Physical Traits That Triggered A Series Of Complexes About Her Appearance

Princesses from Disney’s old books and cartoons are sweet, kind, and beautiful. But in real life, even princesses have imperfections. A crown and status do not save a person from having destructive thoughts about their appearance. Real princesses can feel too fat or too thin. And they can be very tall or short. Such complexes tormented even Princess Diana, one of the most beloved and famous women of the last century.

With that in mind, the awesome.club decided to tell a little about the complexes that Lady Di faced throughout her life and show that this is so normal that it affected even her – the important thing is to learn to love yourself. Check out!

After the tragic accident that claimed Diana’s life, more than a million people lined up in London along the Princess’s funeral procession route. Diana is believed to have been the most popular member of the British royal family to date.

The princess was also a fashion icon and, at the same time, a complex person. For example, when artist Israel Zohar painted a portrait of Diana in 1990, she was asked to make corrections to her appearance. Especially on the nose.

The princess’s nose was a constant subject in the press. Diana tried to disguise with her exuberant haircut and, in all the photos, she had a special pose🇧🇷 She lowered her head slightly, turned a little to the sides and raised her eyes. That was the angle that became her trademark.

Also, the pose with the head slightly down helped Diana deal with another complex: she had shame from own height (1.78 m). And her concern about height was heightened by the fact that her husband’s stature was the same as hers, and in the photos Diana ended up looking shorter than Charles.

And all because, in the photos, the princess was always placed in front of her husband. And photographers recommended that she wear flat shoes. So Charles looked taller and more imposing.

As she was somewhat ashamed of her own stature, Lady Di had problems with her posture. The princess leaned her shoulders forward. According to her doctor, the situation was made worse by the fact that Diana already had a curved spine. In addition, she used to keep her head down when talking to people, so that communication would be pleasant and the interlocutor would not feel any kind of contempt on the part of the princess.

There was another complex that tortured Diana. She considered herself “fat”. This was all due to a comment by Prince Charles, who said, as he placed his hands on the then-bride’s waist: “Oh, this place is a little chubby, isn’t it?” This greatly affected the princess.

Diana, just 19 years old, went on a journey to lose weight quickly before her wedding. When designers started sewing the wedding dress, her waist circumference was 74 cm. Before the wedding ceremony, that measurement had shrunk to 59 cm thanks to weight-loss efforts. One of these stylists remembers that Diana was so thin that the bones in her face were scarred.

A week after the wedding, Diana was diagnosed with bulimiawhat accompanied the princess for about 10 years🇧🇷 Lady Di said that the reasons for this disturbance were several. First, problems with her husband. In public, they appeared together and it seemed that everything was going well in the relationship, but in fact there was no peace and harmony in the couple. Second, one of the princess’s duties was to communicate with seriously ill people, which turned out to be a heavy blow to her psyche. Diana did not seek help to treat her bulimia because she was simply ashamed of her illness.

The beautiful Diana also thought she had a swimmer’s body. She didn’t like his big, broad shoulders. Fortunately, in the 1980s, bulky-shouldered clothes were all the rage. She deftly capitalized on this trend, choosing looks with shoulder pads and styles that were in their heyday at the time. So Diana’s shoulders didn’t look big and the princess just seemed to be following the trends.

According to Carolan Brown, Diana’s personal trainer, after the birth of two children, the abdomen of the princess began to demand special attention. The princess was actively involved in sports, which helped to improve not only her body, but also her emotional state.

Carolan also remembers that Diana became interested in vocal training because she found her voice insecure, like a little girl’s when speaking.

The photo above, in which Diana is wearing a black dress, was taken on the day that Prince Charles announced in a television interview that he was in love with another woman. After that, Diana began to speak openly on television that the previous years had been difficult for her. Before that, Lady Di had never publicly admitted that she had psychological problems.

Family life with Charles didn’t work out, but it was necessary to show a happy marriage to the press. For many years, Diana did not feel the support of the royal family and had a very difficult relationship with her own mother. Thus, the young princess became hostage to the depression🇧🇷

But gradually, she found strength and let go of the insecurity that had poisoned her life for years. Lady Di overcame bulimia and began to play sports actively. There was no longer any need to pretend to be someone else in public.

Complexes with looks and insecurity can afflict anyone, even members of the royal family. The main point is to find the strength to fight and seek medical help if necessary.
