Despite the label, despite her marriage to a prince, motherhood at a young age, Lady Diana was a girl of the ’80s, the real girl of the’ 80s who was crazy about British bands (with whom she could befriend) , who liked to do fitness with elastic bands on the forehead and wrists, sometimes even wearing them when not in the gym.
The girls of the ’80s, as Cindy Lauper’s song said, just wanted to have fun and from what we know, Diana had very little space for fun and that little space she had consisted of elaborating and processing any look that often penalized beautiful legs or perfect shoulders. And it was not limited to clothing: Lady Diana jewelry, which was donated to her before and after the wedding, was modified in ways that did not comply with the protocol.
And Diana’s presence at the ball with a tiara that confused experts on royal affairs at first, until they recognized her, has gone down in history. What Diana wore on her head as she spun around in her husband’s arms was actually a necklace that was part of the treasure jewels given to her by Queen Elizabeth herself. It was an antique pendant, with diamonds and emeralds, that Queen Mary di Teck, the wife of King George 5, had ordered according to her size to bequeathed to her granddaughter Elizabeth, at the 1953 coronation. .
The pendant, which the queen was very fond of, passed to Diana as a wedding gift. According to sources close to the queen, in 1985, seeing what Diana had done to her, the queen was very irritated, also because in other cases Diana used as ‘headbands’ jewelry of incalculable value, but also for the fact that according to protocol , the women of the royal family do not place diamonds before sunset. But we know today that it represented one of the cases where the relationship between the sad princess and her husband’s family was compromised, to the point that it became irreparable.
