The real story behind Princess Diana’s ‘revenge’ dress – and why it’s still so influential 28 years on

It’s 1994. Your husband has just admitted to cheating on you to the entire world. You’re due to be at an event and all eyes will inevitably be on you.

The saying goes, revenge is a dish best served cold, but Diana chose to serve it piping hot.

As she strode out of her limousine towards the Serpentine Gallery in London’s Hyde Park, she greeted people full of poise and confidence.

Time to buckle up for the future Queens of Europe…

With the death of Queen Elizabeth last year, we lost one of the best recognised and most respected women on the planet.

In Britain, those following her are set to be men for at least two more generations. But elsewhere in Europe, the royal future looks female.

A number of countries will have queens as monarchs, some for the first time in centuries.

Coronation cull: Dukes ‘shocked and dismayed’ after they are left off the guest list for King Charles’s big day

The Coronation, now just three weeks away, will be seen by many as a display of splendid pageantry and tradition – and by critics as a blast of flummery and fanfare.

But, to King Charles, it evidently represents a unique chance to begin a new era – one quite distinct from that of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth.

Nowhere will this be more starkly apparent than in the exclusion from the service in Westminster Abbey of most of the grandest aristocrats in the land, along with almost all their fellow hereditary peers.

King Charles is ‘desperately trying to heal the royal rift with Harry and Meghan’ ahead of his Coronation

King Charles’ decision to include a family photograph with Harry, Meghan, William, Kate and their children in the official Buckingham Palace souvenir Coronation programme is an ‘olive branch’ in the direction of California, experts told MailOnline today.

The smiling shot was taken by royal photographer Chris Jackson to mark the monarch’s 70th birthday in November 2018 – six months after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex married in Windsor.

The rare, relaxed private picture in the gardens at Clarence House shows Charles with Prince George on his knee, Camilla cuddling Princess Charlotte and the then-Duchess of Cambridge holding a baby Prince Louis.

Many are dismayed the late Queen’s bridesmaid Lady Pamela Hicks isn’t invited to the King’s Coronation

Lady Pamela Hicks, daughter of Lord Mountbatten and the late Queen’s bridesmaid, friend and loyal lady-in-waiting, had one of the best seats in the house for Her Majesty’s funeral. And rightly so.

Her daughter India Hicks, who was there, pushing her mother’s wheelchair, gets quite emotional remembering it.

‘She was so honoured to be given such an extraordinary seat at that occasion,’ she recalls. ‘She had the most amazing vantage point — at both the ceremonies, actually.’

Camilla’s Coronation companions revealed! Queen will be joined by her sister Annabel

Royal fans go wild over video of Kate showing her secret trick for positioning herself in photos

The Princess of Wales is usually a vision of poised perfection, and is rarely caught with a hair out of place, leaving admirers to wonder what her secret is.

Would your Majesties like to stay the night?’ Watch as Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle reveals the traditional Coronation bed

Sir Lindsay Hoyle has written to King Charles to offer the use of the historic State Bed, which sits in the imposing Speaker’s House at the Place of Westminster.

Royal recycler Kate dressed Prince Louis in £58 hand-me-down shirt from big brother Prince George

‘The look she gave me could have frozen fire…’ the one question the Queen Mother BANNED people from asking

In yesterday’s extract from his biography of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, Gareth Russell recalled how a woman better known for her love of horseracing and ‘drinky-poos’ displayed an iron will behind closed doors.

Here, in the second and final instalment, we reveal how the Queen Mother made an art form of getting her own way, defeating bad news and dull guests alike with an armoury of cunning tactics.

He added there is ‘no chance’ of a reconciliation between the duke and the rest of his family following the fallout from his bombshell memoir Spare earlier this year.

When 19-year-old Lady Diana began her whirlwind romance with the heir to the throne, she only had two pieces of jewellery in her possession – a gold chain with her initial ‘D’ and a pair of gold earrings.

When Harry met Sassy: How AI thinks a rom-com from the Sussexes could look

Where on earth is he? She looked at her watch for what must have been the tenth time. 15 minutes late to their blind date. This is not going to work at all. So much for Prince Charming.

But then, flustered, he appeared. Red-raced, he crashed into the seat in front of her. Through his cascading apologies their eyes locked and she melted into a smile. She liked him, she knew. She really liked him.

It is a story as old as time. Boy meets girl. They fall in love. Secure multi-million dollar Netflix deal.

How King Charles has been taking tips from the JAPANESE on how to run a coronation

The only other nation in the world that comes close to a traditional British coronation is Japan.

So when, as Prince of Wales, Charles travelled there to witness imperial enthronements not once but twice, we can be in no doubt he was watching closely.

And it looks as though the Japanese way of doing things might have influenced both the guest list – which, as we now know, includes a number of crowned heads of state – and the wider plans for King Charles’s own Coronation on May 6.

Surrounded by the pomp and majesty befitting of his status as a king, he was crowned before of a crowd of thousands.

From dashing war-hero to absolute zero…Disgraced Prince Andrew is even less popular than Harry and should be cut from line of succession, says exclusive poll for Mail Royals!

Forced aside from Royal duties in disgrace, it’s all-too easy to forget that Prince Andrew was once regarded as a dashing Royal warrior.

And today, the full extent of his fall to earth is revealed in an authoritative poll from The Mail’s new Royals’ section.

The Duke of York has taken a pummelling, faring even worse than Prince Harry and Meghan in national esteem.

The four-year-old Prince of Wales was there at the Coronation of his mother, Queen Elizabeth, in 1953 as millions of Britons watched on television.

Charles sat between the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret and bore a glum look on his face because of the ‘gunge’ that was used to flatten his hair.

Princess Diana’s jaw-dropping collection of jewellery, the fascinating stories behind her favourite pieces – and the sparklers that have since been worn by Kate and Meghan Markle

But with her new title came a glitzy makeover. Gone were the yellow dungarees and sweater vests of a nursery assistant and in came regal elegance, with world-envied jewels to match.

Diana’s sapphire engagement ring, now worn by her son William’s wife Kate, is arguably the most recognisable ring in the world and she became famed for her experimental styles – wearing an emerald choker as a headband.

Now that the brothers are married, many of the jewels have been passed down to their wives Kate and Meghan, deepening the history of the accessories that defined the Diana’s era-defining image.

Revealed: Why Meghan isn’t coming to the Coronation and why she ‘was unhappy’ with a letter from King Charles

Meghan Markle was left upset after a letter from King Charles did not address her belief that neglect led to her feeling suicidal or concerns over the launch of a bullying probe into her, it has been claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex wrote to King Charles about the issues, as well as about unconscious bias in the Royal family after her bombshell Oprah interview, it has been claimed.

She is believed to have brought up her poor mental health while participating as a working royal, having claimed in the interview that she reached the point of feeling suicidal but was told by palace aides she was not allowed to seek professional help.

There was also said to be disappointment that the letter from Charles did not address her concerns about the bullying probe which was launched into her behaviour towards staff.

These feelings may have played a part in the Duchess’ decision to remain in California while Prince Harry attends the coronation, The Telegraph reports.

Meghan says it’s ‘frankly ridiculous’ that she’s missing the coronation because of a letter she sent Charles over royal racism

The Duchess of Sussex has said the suggestion that she is missing the coronation because of a letter she sent to King Charles over racism and ‘unconscious bias’ inside the Royal Family is ‘frankly ridiculous’.

On Friday, it was reported that Meghan Markle wrote to King Charles after her bombshell Oprah interview, and she reportedly named the individual accused of speculating about her unborn son Archie’s skin colour.

It is understood that it was sent in reply to a letter from the King – the only senior member of the family to make contact with the Duchess after Meghan and Harry were interviewed by Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.

A source told the Daily Telegraph that the Duchess will not attend the Coronation on May 6 because she received a unsatisfactory response from the King.

But Sussex insider Omid Scobie has released a statement from Team Sussex, which said in response to the reports, that it was ‘false’ and ‘frankly ridiculous’.

Royal sisters! How Kate the Princess of Wales and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark share a sense of style – and the same route into royalty

As ‘commoners’ who married an heir to throne, parallels between the Princess of Wales and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark have been inevitable.

Both transitioned into their roles as royals and mothers with grace and ease and have garnered a multitude of fans in their respective nations.

The brunette beauties have also mirrored each other’s style and were dubbed the unofficial ‘royal sisters’ by the late Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld.

Even on Monday in the heat of the South Pacific, the Crown Princess chose an outfit reminiscent of one previously worn by the Kate, in this case a long belted dress accentuating the waist with broad floral design in rich shades of blue.

Mary was pictured as she visited Vanuata which, like other Pacific islands, is affected by climate change, with rising sea levels and an increase in severe weather.

Meghan makes first appearance after friends insist she ‘has moved on’ from race row and it is not the reason she is skipping the coronation

Meghan Markle has broken cover for the first time since it emerged that she is skipping King Charles’ Coronation.

The Duchess of Sussex introduced her photographer friend Misan Harriman’s Ted Talk via videolink after her PR team last night insisted she had ‘moved on’ from the race row which engulfed the Royal Family after she made bombshell claims of racism in her Oprah interview.

In a post on Instagram which included an image of the event, Harriman said: ‘The Duchess of Sussex was kind enough to introduce me onto the stage for my @ted. Thank you for the support, Meg.’

Yesterday Meghan released a rare statement via her spokesperson following reports that she is dodging the Coronation in London because she’s dwelling on the race row.

In a statement to US magazine Harper’s Bazaar, Meghan’s global press secretary Ashley Hansen insisted: ‘The Duchess of Sussex is going about her life in the present, not thinking about correspondence from two years ago related to conversations from four years ago.

‘Any suggestion otherwise is false and frankly ridiculous. We encourage tabloid media and various royal correspondents to stop the exhausting circus that they alone are creating.’
