THE WEDDING of Princess Diana and Prince Charles will always be remembered as one of the most beautiful ceremonies in history.
Many will remember the stunning silk taffeta gown Lady Di wore with antique lace and a whopping 25ft train that trailed behind it.
It was 40 years ago that the People’s Princess walked down the aisle of St Paul’s Cathedral but there was one part of her elegant outfit that was hidden from view.
The Princess’ wedding shoes were beautiful suede heels with 542 sequins and 132 pearls in a sweet heart-shaped pattern.
But that’s not the only thing you won’t have spotted, under the small heel the Princess had a small “C” and “D” painted as a secret message for the couple.
The shoes were made be talented cobbler Clive Shilton, who told the Daily Mail: “[Diana] was a very shy, sweet, smiley-eyed young girl.
“Her main concern was that she wouldn’t appear taller than Prince Charles, and because she was very tall – 5’10” – the shoes would have to have a low heel.
“No one even saw the bottom of the shoes, but it was important to us that they looked fantastic. You would have seen much more of them if she’d tripped!”
A slice of Diana and Charles’ wedding cake is being sold at auction and is expected to fetch £500.

Plus Prince George has a Princess Diana-inspired birthday tradition… and it’s one big headache for dad Prince William.
