Lady Diana: Here's why she never changed her hairstyle around the Queen of England
Princess Diana was subject to strict British Crown protocol. On the beauty side, she also had to bow to the eyes of the Queen of England. Explanations.
In the space of two decades, Princess Diana has changed her hair style just three times. Richard Dalton, Diana Spencer's regular hairdresser during the first ten years at the British court, returns for "Bestoflife" on the episode within a hair's breadth of creating the diplomatic incident. In 1984, shortly after the birth of Prince Harry, Princess Diana grew her hair. On the occasion of the "Opening of Parliament" in November of that same year, Richard Dalton decides to bring a breath of fresh air and pulls up the princess's hair, in a delicate bun wrapped in her crown.
Diana is causing a stir with this hairstyle that literally "hit the queen like hell" says the hairdresser. If the Queen has a fixation, she is not at the end of her sentence, as Diana and her new style are on the cover of every British newspaper. The next day, the princess does it again by wearing long hair styled in side-hair, held in place by a barrette. The detail too. The media frenzy is such that Richard Dalton says, "We were overwhelmed by all this commotion." "After that we decided to be very careful because even the smallest hair change took on huge proportions." And for good reason, Diana's hair, which is the center of attention, overshadows the Queen of England, who takes a dim view of this over-media coverage.
DIANA, THE PRINCESS WITH SHORT HAIR
Richard Dalton says Diana "always wondered why people were so obsessed with her hair." Come to think of it, there is no longer any question of stealing the show from the Queen. This episode is followed by a trip to Saudi Arabia. This is the moment that Diana and Richard Dalton choose to keep a low profile. The expert cuts haircuts every other day, so that hair changes are imperceptible. This will be the case for the rest of his life.
Diana will remain this eternal princess with short hair. Discovered with semi-short hair, behind which she hides the shyness of her eighteen years, Diana asserts herself in the 90s by further shortening her cut, under the leadership of Sam McKnight, then hairdresser on the shooting of the English "Vogue" which she makes the famous cover in black and white. A clear difference with his beautiful daughters, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle who stand out with their long hair, which we always try to unravel the beauty secrets.
