Indeed! My ma-in-law is fond of reminding me that when Charles and Di got

The odds on you being right are better than 50/50 in UK for any marriage.

I think the point here is that almost everyone was buying into the fairytale
at the time - they *wanted* it to work and be the happy ever after thing.
Even the Archbishop that married them made some such comment.

I don't agree, I and many others foresaw the result too.

I did say 'almost' everyone. One wise old lady said to me that she didn't
buy into the 'shy Di' looking up under the eyelashes thing for one minute.
I maintained at the break up and still do now that they 'thought' themselves
into being in love because it was what both wanted, one way or the other.
