The story of Lady Diana's second secret wedding dress
That was thirty-seven years ago. Diana Spencer became Diana, Princess of Wales, by marrying Prince Charles, heir to the throne of England, at St Paul's Cathedral. A moment that has remained etched in history, despite the turn that the marital life of the princely couple would take. Everyone remembers young Diana's puffy wedding dress, walking towards the altar. Behind this dress with the shape so typical of the 80s, a couple, David and Elizabeth Emmanuel, stylists of the future princess.
In "Hello" magazine, David Emmanuel just revealed that he and his wife had prepared a second wedding dress for Diana Spencer, "just in case," a dress she herself did not know existed. A simpler dress than the one she wore, but made from the same fabric, ivory colored silk. “At the time, we wanted it to be a surprise. We didn't give Diana a try. We hadn't even talked about it. We wanted to make sure we had a plan B, it was mostly to have peace of mind. "
In the end, there was no hitch and Diana was able to wear the dress originally designed for her. A dress with a train of almost 8 meters, covered with 10,000 pearls and sequins, which has gone down in history, just like those of recent princely weddings. In 2011, Kate Middleton wore a sumptuous Alexander McQueen dress to marry Prince William, as for Meghan Markle, last May, she had opted for the French house Givenchy to design the dress of her dreams.
