purple suit 1997 Diana was leaving a private lunch with Diana Donovan and Mrs. Donovan's daughter. It was in June or July 1997.

Thank you Marika86 for these pages from Billed Bladet!:flowers: The Princesses look beautiful.

It looks to me like there was a sprig of some greenery tucked in Victoria's hair. I noticed this when Daniel was giving his speech and Victoria kept looking down at the table, giving the camera a straight-on view of the top of her head. The leaves seem to be placed between her hair and the...

Marie's ensemble was very lovely. I especially liked the tiara and veil effect in the front. I was distracted, though by how her tiara seemed "better" than the one Mary was given for her wedding day. I thought the skirt was a bit too long and I would have preferred no peek-a-boo sort of...

What a shame about her brother! I'm am really looking forward to seeing Marie's gown. I expect it be very elegant. I suppose she will wear the lace veil worn by Mary, Margrethe, etc.?

The bridesmaids dresses were too bare and ill-fitting. They also looked very ordinary for this special occasion. Her Majesty was impeccably dressed, as always. Camilla looked elegant too.

sophie-diana I agree Mermaid. Diana had her faults but she wasn't known to be a snob (and didn't she wear Marks and Spencer underthings - I think Liz Tilberis described that once.). She may have been a little jealous that the older ladies were taking an interest in Sophie since I assume by...

It is sad news but hopefully as individuals they'll be happier, at least eventually. I really feel for their children.

Excellent point!!

Yes I agree!! Or what if the family didn't really want it known it was a suicide? It seemed like an innocent slip of the tongue on Sarah's part but a bit unfortunate.

She made it the show, which really impresses me. She said the Wentworth-Stanley son committed suicide (I thought it was still unknown whether it was accidental or otherwise, so now we know.) Very sad.

It looks like real or faux Persian lamb, doesn't it?

bbb - Thank you for providing the link to that clip.:flowers: It was great!

The two long-hair periods were at the end of 1984 and when she was a teenager.

Danvers, Welcome and thank you so much for posting!! :smile: Great to "meet" you. Those are some of my favorite photos of Diana prior to the wedding.

photo: CORBIS

Squidgy, Yes I think your link is to a fake photo! :ohmy: Her head is from Australia Nov.7, 1985: photo: Tim Graham / CORBIS The blue gown is from one of a few other occasions, possibly tours of Australia and Canada in 1983 or in 1985 when she wore a pearl choker with it. More simply...

Yes, she looks great there too.:flowers: Ok, I guess I really can't choose just one favorite style! The 1992-93 curly, high look was my least favorite for sure. :ohmy:

Tenngirl, maybe we can consider ourselves members of the fashion police! :smile: I was also struck by Mathilde's stockings and shoes combo. Despite that, she still looks lovely, as always, and I love seeing her and Maxima together.

Well I would say the hat at the Sverre baptism was a pretty, retro look but not a pillbox. She wore something close to a pillbox to the opening of Parliament in 2004 when she recycled her engagement outfit. I think she looks better in broad-brimmed hats.

I prefer to cite a published source if I can in my posts. I have no loyalty to Menkes. I just remember in 1982 everybody assumed Charles gave her the necklace in July for her birthday, their first anniversary, or the birth of William, and for some reason later the story came out (where or by...

Barbara Cartland had a wider face, wore tons of makeup, and I think only wore pink. Also Diana wasn't on good terms with her, especially at that time - she wasn't invited to the wedding.

In the photos she is with her detective Graham Smith (who died of cancer in the early 1990's) and I think Catherine Weatherall Soames, who was married the first week of June 1981, shortly before Ascot. Remember Diana wore her striking red hat with large bow at the wedding?

According to Suzy Menkes' book, Diana bought the necklace herself.
