Princess Diana was reported to purposely miss Prince Charles kiss in an event, which made the act very "awkward" and off-putting. Unfortunately, many photographers were able to capture the said awkward moment that allowed for many speculations to emerge.
According to Express UK, the late Princess of Wales reportedly "snubbed" the Prince of Wales' kiss after his polo match in India. The press, along with the audience, became witnesses of the event. As per assertions, Prince Charles was humiliated when Princess Diana moved her head away.
The prince's kiss, instead, landed on the late princess' ears. It was a "cringe-worthy" moment for everyone, the sources described.
It was revealed after that Princess Diana did this exact revenge. As it happened, Prince Charles reportedly left the princess alone to visit the Taj Mahal.
The India tour in 1992 became an infamous event for the Wales couple because of this. Along with the "missed kiss," this was also the period when rumors about the "poor state" of their relationship were at the peak.
While some sources attested that Diana's revenge was all about the Taj Mahal visit, other reports claimed that it was due to the prince's "forgotten kiss."
During the polo match, Princess Diana was set to present the awards for the winners. Upon reaching the center stage, Prince Charles seemingly forgot to give her a kiss in front of the audience and the press.
The Princess of Wales felt alone. Added by the Taj Mahal incident, it was totally humiliating for her, the sources explained.
So, to exact her revenge, she purposely missed the Prince of Wales' kiss when he remembered to do the act and ran toward her.
In the end, Prince Charles was the one who felt even more embarrassed. Not to mention, photos of his "cringy" kiss immediately circulated all over the media.
Whatever happened, though, no confirmations have been made whether Princess Diana truly avoided her husband's kiss or not. Even so, many argued that it was only fitting given all of Prince Charles' mistakes toward his wife.
Despite the alleged humiliating and embarrassing moment for the royals, Princess Diana and Prince Charles' wedding kiss has been deemed as Britain's most memorable smooch. As per Daily Mail, a UK study found that the public voted for this 1981 kiss at the balcony of the Buckingham Palace as its most memorable one in years.
Next to the Wales couple's wedding lip-lock, Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding kiss 30 years later was voted as the second most memorable smooch in Britain.
