Now I know where the name Princess Pushy comes from, Princess Michael is always in the center, she probably pushed her way there! even before the Princess royal, and she probably pushed freddy and ella there too!

Can anybody remember if Diana continued to attend Trooping the colour and other royal events after her separation was announced in 1992?

I think Diana last attended the ceremony in 1991.

No, the last time Princess Diana attended the Trooping The Colour ceremony was in 1992.

Diana at Wimbledon
I would love to see pictures from the 1981, Diana's first appearance at Wimbeldon especially.
Thanks!

Since he began to do these races, his family did not like it because it was so dangerous. It brings to mind his great-uncle David, Duke of Windsor who was fond of steeplechase, and even injured himself doing it at least once, terrifying his family, who begged him to stop it.

Diana loved Tennis I think 1995 was the last time she went to Wimbledon I heard that after the divorce the Princess wasn't allowed to sit in the Royal Box which is very petty since her son is the future King.

I like Diana in her cream suit in the 1995 pictures. Those are great finds, TheTruth. I also like the photos of her and the Kents chatting together. They look to be enjoying such a common passion for the tennis. If you happen upon any photos of Diana with the Gloucesters at Wimbledon, please post. I will keep my eyes on the lookout for them too. I think I remember finding one on the Rex website, now that I think of it.
About the royal box, that must have been a decision by the All England Lawn Tennis Assoc. If so, I don't understand how they can have made such a ruling unless it was based on snobbery, because Diana's fame was "good for business", as they say, no matter that she was separated/divorced from the Royal Family.

Thanks for all the great pictures, especially the ones from 84 and 85. I had not seen those.
Question: What was the date she attended with her sister Sarah in 1981?

The pink-and-blue quilted jacket with her sister Sarah and the Duchess of Kent was July 3, 1981.
The floral suit with Grace, Albert and Stephanie was July 4.
Diana's very first Wimbledon appearance was July 2 (she attended three days in a row that year.) She wore a solid blue jacket with red or fuchsia collar and lapels, over a plain white shirt. I think there's a picture in "Invitation to a Royal Wedding" by Kathryn Spink. I haven't seen a picture in this thread.

Priceless! After all these years, I am still finding pictures of Princess Diana that I had not seen before. These are amongst the most beautiful I have ever seen because it gives us a glimpse into how she interacts with other members of the Royal Family specifically the Kents.
And oh! these must be one of the memories most treasured by Prince William. A day having fun with the 'best mum in the world'.
And what a wonderful fun loving pair she projects with her sister-in-law the Duchess Of York.
Yes thank you very much 'The Truth', gfg02 and CasiraghiTrio for the wonderful pictures!
