A rare set of previously unreleased photos show Princess Diana on-board a luxury yacht along with her close friends.
The photos were reportedly captured on the Valentino private yacht, T.M.Blue One. The stunning photos show Princess Diana relaxing in the sun with a drink in her hand. She can be seen next to Kyril, Prince of Perslav and Giancarlo Giammetti, co-founder of Valentino. They were snapped in Italy in 1990, nine years after her marriage and two years before her separation from Prince Charles. The snaps were shared by Giammetti on Instagram.
Even though she was in troubled conditions, the late princess can be seen sparkling a cheeky grin in these photographs. Prince Charles had already started his relationship with ex-girlfriend Camilla Parker-Bowles. Diana, herself was in a two-year affair with Household Cavalry officer James Hewitt. However, by the time these photos were taken, James was transferred to Germany, which made Diana extremely sad.
Princess Diana’s life was full of unexpected twists and turns. Her bodyguard, Barry Mannakee, died in a road accident in 1987, with whom she had been in a relationship. With all these incidents taking place, she was also concerned about her marriage falling apart. Princess Diana finally parted ways with Prince Charles in 1992 and their divorce settled in 1996.
As visible from the snaps, The Princess was holidaying near the island of Stromboli. The island is situated off the north coast of Sicily. She was known to enjoy her private time with her close friends. She loved to go on holidays to get away from her social life. In July, 1997, she notably spent her last holiday with her lover Dodi Fayed which was just a few weeks away before their untimely death in a car accident in Paris which attract conspiracy theories till date.
All in all, the life of a princess doesn’t seem as magnificent as heard in fairy tales.
