A new revelation about Princess Diana has come to light, adding another layer to her already well-documented life. In a tell-all book by her former hairdresser, Richard Dalton, titled “It’s All About the Hair—My Decade with Diana,” it is revealed that the late Princess of Wales harbored a significant regret about her wedding day: her hairstyle.

Dalton, who worked closely with Princess Diana for ten years, shared that she considered her wedding day hair a “disaster” and expressed a desire to “re-do” it. This candid admission sheds light on the pressure Diana felt under the global gaze as she married Prince Charles in 1981, an event watched by millions around the world. Despite her iconic status and the immense planning that went into the royal wedding, even Diana was not immune to second thoughts about the small details.

In his book, Dalton provides an intimate glimpse into Diana’s personal life and moods, describing her as sometimes happy, quiet, talkative, or sad. He recounts the privilege and challenge of styling one of the most photographed women in the world, emphasizing her desire for perfection even amidst the public’s adoration.

Dalton’s experiences extended beyond Diana, as he was also the hairdresser for her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, when they were young. He humorously recalled the nerves he felt when cutting Harry’s hair for the first time, fearing that losing a lock of the young prince’s hair might land him in the Tower of London.

Dalton’s book not only uncovers Diana’s wedding day regret but also offers a heartwarming look at the more personal, everyday moments of the Royal Family, particularly with the young princes. His anecdotes add depth to our understanding of Diana, showing her as a woman who, like many brides, had her own concerns and wishes for a “perfect” day.

As new stories continue to emerge about Princess Diana, this latest revelation reminds us of her humanity and the pressures she faced as a royal figure constantly in the public eye.
