Diana abandoned royal wedding vow to 'obey' husband
Princess of Wales, Diana, in her wedding to Prince Charles in 1981, chose to abandon the royal wedding vow to 'obey' her husband, instead promised only to "love, comfort, honour and keep" him. The precedent was followed by Kate Middleton in her marriage to Prince William 30 years later. Notably, Princess Diana died 19 years ago on August 31, 1997.
