Lady Diana Spencer was very young when she first met her future husband Prince Charles, and just 20-years-old when she walked down the aisle at St Paul's Cathedral as his bride
Before her tragic death, Diana admitted she was so immature at the time she missed many of the warning signs of their doomed relationship , especially when it came to Camilla
But there was one devastating discovery, just weeks before their wedding, which really broke her heart
So found a parcel in the office of one of Charles's employees, and opened it to discover a bracelet
According to royal biographer Andrew Morton, it was engraved with the letters G and F, which stood for Gladys and Fred - the nicknames Charles and Camilla used for each other
During an interview in 1997, Diana spoke very honestly about the heartbreak she felt at this moment
She said: "I was still too immature to understand all the messages coming my way
And then someone in his office told me that my husband has had a bracelet made for her
"I walked into this man's office one day and I said, 'Ooh, what's in that parcel?' And he said 'Oh, you shouldn't look at that'
"So I opened it and there was the bracelet. I was devastated, and I said 'Well, he's going to give it to her tonight'
"So rage, rage, rage. You know, 'Why can't you be honest with me?' "But no, absolutely cut me dead
"It was as if he'd made his decision, and if it wasn't going to work, it wasn't going to work
"He'd found the virgin, the sacrificial lamb - and in a way he was obsessed with me, but it was hot and cold, hot and cold, you never knew what mood it was going to be, up and down, up and down
" Camilla wore the bracelet publicly for years, even after Charles and Diana tied the knot
