“The first signal of the change in Princess Diana’s behaviour was Prince Andrew’s stag night when the Princess of Wales and Sarah Ferguson dressed as police women in a vain attempt to gatecrash his party,” Morton wrote in his 1992 book ‘Diana: Her True Story’.

He continued: “Instead they drank champagne and orange juice at Annabel’s nightclub before returning to Buckingham Palace where they stopped Andrew’s car at the entrance as he returned home.

“For a time this boisterous mood reigned supreme within the Royal Family.

“When the Duke and the Duchess hosted a party at Windsor Castle as a thank you for everyone who had helped organise their wedding, it was Fergie who encouraged everyone to jump, fully clothed, into the swimming pool.
