Princess Diana swapped her David and Elizabeth Emanuel wedding dress for an unexpected pink outfit following her nuptials with Prince Charles. See how it compares to the Duchesses of Cambridge and Sussex…
March 24, 2022 - 10:22 GMT Nichola Murphy Princess Diana's first wedding dress has gone down in history as one of the most iconic royal bridal gowns, but her second outfit is much lesser-known – and nothing like other royal brides.After walking down the aisle in a David and Elizabeth Emanuel-designed dress with a record-breakingly long train of 25 feet, the Princess of Wales changed into a very unexpected pink ensemble as she headed on her honeymoon with her new husband Prince Charles.
Pictures show the newlyweds waving to crowds as they left Romsey Station for their honeymoon trip to Gibraltar in July 1981, with Charles looking dapper in a grey suit while Diana rocked a pink midi dress with a fitted waist and a jacket layered over the top, both designed by David Sassoon for Bellville Sassoon. She finished off her look with her short hair styled in its classic bouncy curls and a matching pastel-coloured hat and clutch bag.
