India Hicks, 54, was 12 when she was “proud and delighted” to take part in Diana’s wedding to Prince Charles. However, as a tomboy she felt “a little alarmed at being asked to wear a frilly dress,” she told Insider.

“So, it was voluptuous and over the top, and drama everywhere.

Ms Hicks is Prince Charles’ second cousin and goddaughter.

She also was a bride herself recently, marrying her partner of 26 years, David Flint Wood, last year. 

She met him through her sister before getting to know each other when they lived close by in The Bahamas.

She said: “This could not be called a whirlwind romance.

“I decided to try to find him. David calls this our Casablanca moment.
