Royal Weddings for Kate and Diana

Some words about Diana

The essential little black gown....Diana was said to be a perfect size 10 and 5'10" tall.

Diana obviously dressed conservatively, more country-girl when she married Charles.  However, she soon developed her own style as a young woman...designer dresses, sexy gowns and no more frumpy looking clothes.  The black dress above was one of my favorites.  She had it designed shortly before her separation from Charles.   As soon as she and Charles separated, she wore it for the first time to an event its been reported.  The public rarely saw Diana in BLACK before this time.

Diana's tiara belonged to her (Spencer) family who had it on "loan" to the Royal family  but never received it back when requested as reported by the BBC.

A woman living in Richmond, VA., purchsed the opera gown and displays it for charity. She always has a guard sitting next to it when on display.

When Diana came to the USA she participated in auctioning many of her gowns.  When she passed away, many gowns were auctioned as well...all for charity.  After Diana's death, this shop owner placed her three gowns (purchased prior to her death) on display at her shop in New York.

Designs for a Royal

Yes, today there is a website for Royal watching now (see at end of post). Any day now they'll officially announce the gown designer.  The comparisons between Diana and Kate have been on-going before Kate and William were engaged.  I enjoy seeing both of their photos in comparison shots (continue).

Potential Designer Wedding Gowns are in sketches above for Kate. Alexander McQueen may be the chosen gown designer--very contemporary designs (see below).  Diana above, was a classic lady and Kate isn't about to upset the Queen's apple cart by any means.  She will select something that represents her youthfulness yet radiates her own grace.  It will be chic and feminine.

Diana's $18,000. gown travels around the world to make appearances for various charities and museums.  Only three people are allowed to handle it, ever.

 

Princess Diana's blouse designed by the Emanuels recently sold at auction. This was for a Vogue cover prior to her engagement to Prince Charles.  They also designed the wedding dresses for her big event.  It was first suggested that Alexander McQueen will be the designer for Kate's gown but now it's reported that Caroline Charles or Issa may be the designer selected.  Kate wore a blue Issa dress when they shared their engagement announcement.

Kate already carries herself like a Princess and most think she's a natural for the role.

Queen Mum is paying for the wedding.
