Princess Diana‘s iconic wedding and her dress saga were totally a public spectacle. In a flashback to the 80s, we can all remember how her bridal gown was made by Elizabeth and David Emanuel. This glamorous info was revealed from the start, unlike the hush-hush preparations of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle‘s bridal gowns. Now, Elizabeth Emmanuel is ready to reminisce about this royal buzz!
In stark contrast to the top-secret-situation around the royal weddings of 2011 and 2018, for Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, respectively, the Emanuels‘ role in crafting Diana’s dress was common knowledge. The result? A paparazzi frenzy, so they had to employ different decoys, like scattering different colored fabric scraps to deceive hungry journalists.
Princess Diana’s dress was clearly in the spotlight (before she even wore it on her big day). For that reason, the Emanuels crafted a secret backup dress, just in case disaster came to knock on the doors of the royal wedding. Funny enough, the dress remained hidden and it was never shown to Princess Diana and the public.
Fast forward to now: Elizabeth Emmanuel is spilling this fashion tea and now reconstructed the dress for the virtual Princess Diana Museum.
