Well what a wallop that was.....talk about feeling ancient... ::)
I remember (back in those olden days) when she got out of the car, that I was disappointed with the dress, mainly because it looked all crumpled and far too big for that little girl wearing it. Diana was way too old fashioned in her dress style in the beginning, or maybe she dressed to suit the regal position more so than what she really wanted. She really showed them when she matured a bit, and made her own mark on society and the royal family.
As far as all the bed hopping that goes on in the royal family, IMO I know they are only human, I guess it just peeves me how they show no humility about it, that it is all ok and they have nothing to be guilty about because they are ROYALS. Even the husband of the mistress still bows to the future king, and the kids stand there having photos taken with the adulterers. Something just doesnt seem right about all that. Its all seems so very medieval.

I probably will watch it, even though it is on very early in our time zone. I
watched the wedding of his parents, and remember how beautiful she was, but
I must be the only person in the world that thought that the dress was awful.
It was too too much for her. It was all wrinkled when she got out of the
car, and it was wearing her. She wasn't wearing it. My god it had twenty lbs of
damned ruffles on the neck. I hated it. I will probably get lots of boos for this,
but I can take it. I think Kate being older will make better choices. Diana was
so young she was herded by her husbands grandmother I think..seems I read
that somewhere....sorry, JMO

Worst dress EVER, the WORST. She looked as though she was a child being dragged through a giant laundry basket. The Emanuels? Yuck!
MUCH later, after Diana had the two children, and got a bit older herself--then she became the real fashion icon.

With that train she did rather look like a full-rigged ship sailing down the aisle of St. Paul's. ;D

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
See? She was ample competition for the cathedral.
But I can't imagine anything else.
I was thinking since Kate is so modern, she would wear something like Carolyn Bessette did in her marriage to JFK, Jr but then the surroundings, pomp and circumstance would completely overwhelm her.
