Princess Diana’s Wedding Dress Now On Public Display

Many people will have vivid memories of watching the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer on Wednesday 29 July 1981. People lined the streets of London, and street parties were held all across the country, while others were glued to their TVs.

The event was broadcast all across the world, and when Lady Diana stepped out of the fairytale-like coach that brought her and her father to St Paul’s Cathedral, expectations were surpassed, and every little girl wished for that to be her wedding dress one day.

Now, for the first time in 25 years, that dress, designed by creative geniuses David and Elizabeth Emanuel, with its incredible train, veils, and delicate lace, is on display at Kensington Palace, reports BBC News.

Princes William and Harry have loaned the dress to the exhibition, Royal Style in the Making, which opened on 3 June, and runs until 2 January 2022. The exhibition focuses on the relationship between fashion designers and the royals. Tickets can be booked in advance from the exhibition website.

This summer would have been Princess Diana’s 60th birthday, and a statue to honour her will be unveiled by her sons, located in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace, where Princess Diana lived.

The Princes have said they want the statue to ‘recognise her positive impact in the U.K. and around the world’.

During her life, Princess Diana brought attention to important issues such as humanising those who have HIV and AIDS and working to rid the world of landmines by famously walking through a field in Angola.
