Princess Diana, the Princess of Hearts, refused to stand in front of the pyramids in Cairo to be photographed, saying, “The picture will be boring and I’ll look ridiculous.” The photographer said to her, “Ma’am, the pyramids are one of the seven wonders of the world and you are the eighth… So can we take the photo?” She laughed, and then laughed again. She said, “How can I refuse your request anymore?”
