The couple were on a tour of India in 1992 but had different schedules
that kept them apart for much of the visit.
Rumours were rife the pair's relationship was at breaking point, and
Diana was left to visit the Taj Mahal on her own while Charles
attended business meetings many miles away.
In his new book 'On Duty With The Queen: My Time As A Buckingham
Palace Press Officer', Mr Arbiter revealed that just days after she
was snapped on her own at the famous location, Diana was due to give
out prizes at a polo match Charles was playing in.
Fuming at having been left on her own, the princess initially refused
to do so but was talked round by Mr Arbiter and another press officer.
However, little did the duo know what Diana would do next after
Charles forgot to kiss her in front of the world's cameras.
Mr Arbiter said:
"Realising his mistake, he hastily returned and, with an uncertain
crowd looking on, moved to kiss his wife's cheek. Incensed, the
Princess swivelled her head so that the kiss landed near her ear. "The
crowd, as well as those of us accompanying the royal couple, could
only cringe. The Prince had clearly been intentionally humiliated, and
we knew he'd be furious."
