Talking about her wedding to Prince Charles, Diana said to Evert, “I am so nervous about everything, I hardly know what to do.“

In reply, Evert said, “I assured Lady Diana that marriage was great and she has nothing to be concerned about… I told her she should relax in the same way as I try to calm myself before a game, I told her, I try to think of other things but of course, she has so much to do.“

In 1981, Lady Diana tied the knot with Prince Charles. As for Evert, she got married two years earlier in 1979 to British tennis star John Lloyd. Although Evert gave some valuable marriage advice to Diana, her own marriage with Lloyd lasted only eight years, as the couple separated in 1987.
