Just before Prince Charles announced his engagement to Lady Diana Spencer in 1981,a little-known fact is that she escaped to Australia under a cloak of secrecy to decide if she really wanted to become a future queen.
According to Aussie royal expert Judy Wade – a regular contributor to Woman’s Day who recently sadly passed away – Diana took up residence at her mum Frances Shand Kydd’s secret Mollymook beach house, where she spent time over the new year surfing, swimming and soul-searching alone in complete anonymity.
“Frances rented a beach house tucked away among tall gum trees overlooking the beach,” Judy wrote in her 2007 book Diana: The Intimate Portrait, describing the dwelling as a “modern, dark-stained timber beach house... situated at the end of a winding dirt track, which made it invisible from the road”.
