Princess Diana was ‘told off’ by Queen for looking too pretty
Princess Diana was once told off by Queen Elizabeth II over her fashion choices.
The former Princess of Wales, who accompanied her Majesty and then husband Prince Charles at the 1984 State Opening of Parliament, was reprimanded over her look.
In his new book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, Earl Spencer that Queen Elizabeth “was not amused” by Diana’s hair.
“Her hair stylist, RIchard Dalton, swept Diana’s hair into a ‘chignon’—a bun pinned at the nape of the neck, as favoured by some movie stars a generation earlier,” Earl Spencer wrote.
He added that fans let out “gasps of admiration” as she walked into the room.
“Diana was told off, and she—ever respectful of ‘the boss,’ as she called the Queen—from that point on, always wore her hair more simply at events that they both attended,” Earl Spencer wrote.
