All The Times Princess Diana Played By Her Own Rules

She didn’t wear hats

When royals weren’t wearing their tiaras for evening events, they were expected to wear hats or fascinators to formal events during the day. Diana decided to go against the rules and not wear hats to formal events, claiming that it restricted her interaction with the public.

She allegedly said “You can’t cuddle a child in a hat,” which was one of the biggest reasons why she stopped wearing hats to visit children in hospital. In addition, she would wear bright colors to cheer up the kids and wear chunky necklaces that they could play with.
