Despite the smiles, there were already problems in the relationship.

Not even two weeks in the Mediterranean sunshine on board the Royal yacht Britannia could lift Diana's spirits.

Prince Harry making his first appearance in September 1984. For a brief period before his birth Charles and Diana were closer than ever but it soon fell apart.

William's playful antics at Prince Andrew's wedding did not amuse the Queen.

The family putting on a show of unity amongst the wild flowers at Highgrove.
