With the The Princess Diana’s Style & A Royal Collection auction gearing up for release, the late Princess’ own designer Jacques Azagury came delivered some personal anecdotes, insights and much more.
She shared everything, including her most risqué request in a chat with Fox News Digital.
The designer responsible for fitting Princess Diana for her more form-fitting fits after her marriage to King Charles ended admits, “[She surprised me] only once.”
And that was because of the request she made on one of her dresses.
According to the designer "she wanted to go super short on the dresses, and we wouldn’t allow it, particularly on that blue [‘Swan Lake’ dress from June 1997].”
Because “it was quite a low décolletage and quite short anyway, and she wanted to go even shorter. We just said, ‘Look, you’re not going to have a dress left and you are a princess. We’ve got to remember you’re a princess’.
So it was way short anyway, so that’s really the only request we would not abide by.”
This shift happened after her divorce, because “after Diana’s marriage, she portrayed herself in a slightly different manner. She had total freedom… She could wear what she wanted to wear. She was able to wear black, which she's usually not allowed to wear because royals only wear black for funerals.”
