The assortment includes iconic garments like the renowned black halter neck dress worn by Diana to a charity gala in 1995. Another emblematic item is the pale blue knee-length dress adorned with tiny crystal bugle beads, worn by Princess Diana to a performance of Swan Lake in June 1997. While the designer emphasizes that shorter, form-fitting dresses were fashionable at the time, rumors suggest that Megan Markle is interested in acquiring these gowns at no cost from the private collector.
Megan allegedly pressured Harry to retrieve the opulent evening ensembles, asserting that the collector agreed to transfer the costumes to the Sussexes in exchange for a memento honoring Princess Diana. Critics argue that Megan and Harry are pursuing the dresses as gifts rather than purchasing them, raising accusations of exploiting Diana's renown and Harry's affection for his late mother.
It's crucial to note that these dresses are replicas, not the originals worn by Princess Diana, but collectors and enthusiasts continue to value them. Prince Harry, however, reportedly refuses to watch the final season of Netflix's "The Crown," which depicts Princess Diana's last days. Given the sensitive nature of the content, Harry has decided to abstain from viewing the season, citing the impact of his mother's loss on his mental health.
Despite having a multi-million dollar deal with Netflix, the Sussexes were reportedly not consulted by the series creators or Netflix and did not receive storylines or advance episodes for approval or discussion. Additionally, Prince William, Harry's estranged brother, has also expressed his decision not to watch "The Crown."
