All The Times Princess Diana Played By Her Own Rules

Showing it off

For the royals, there is a very strict list of rules to follow when dressing. Nothing provocative or revealing is allowed, hem lines need to be of a certain length and there is a limit to how much can be shown on the top.

Diana however, would often go out showing off her womanly features and to hide her plunging necklines from paparazzi, she would strategically place her bag over her chest when getting out of cars. From this, Diana’s handbag designer Anya Hindmarch created a line of purses which she referred to as “cleavage purses” paying homage to the people’s princess.
