Princess Diana's revenge moment roars back into spotlight
It may be hard for Prince William and Prince Harry to hold back tears as the sweet memory of their beloved late mother haunts them once again, with her iconic revenge dress going on display.
The late Princess's "revenge dress" went on display in London on Friday, days after new claims about King Charles' reaction to her death.
The two Princes, who are not on speaking terms, may reunite to rember heir mother together as her unforgettable moment returns to headlines.
The shadow cast over the royal family by the "people's princess" lingers nearly 30 years on.
The dress became a symbol of the rancour between Charles and Diana during the public breakdown of their marriage in the early 1990s, when she made a public appearance in the off-the-shoulder black silk number soon after Charles shocking admission about his affair with Camilla, whom he went on to marry in 2005.
William and Harry's mother opted for an outfit which she'd had in her wardrobe for years but had previously seen as too daring.
This week scrutiny of Charles and Diana's troubled relationship has resurfaced after extracts published in a forthcoming book by Charles Spencer.
Hary and William's uncle accused the king of being "giddily elated" in the immediate aftermath of her death. Buckingham Palace hit back at the claims, suggesting that the author's memory had been affected by his loss.
The dress was unveiled in Sotheby's, its first stop on a world tour that will take it to Hong Kong, Geneva and New York, underlining Diana's enduring and global allure. It will be auctioned at its last stop in December, with a guide price of between $150,000 and $300,000.
Her appearance in it in 1994 was widely seen as a show of strength as the public feasted on details of the royal couple's separation - an interest which has come back strongly this week.
