I think this is an iconic image, the birth of a legend:

I totally admired this formal royal portrait of her....I think this portrait of her sums her up in many ways...regal, approachable, dignified yet simple, beautiful, young, vibrant and ready to embrace the world from the ground up....(I think these same words describe Prince William too).

I agree pinkie40, it's a very symbolic image. I think the Daily Mirror took it as their front cover for the tribute issue.

You know, the silly thing is all the daft people who say/think she was wrapped in a sheet!! She was, of course, actually wearing the fabulous Azagury strapless ivory silk satin gown, with the embroidered bodice, without it's short bolero jacket.

Maybe the boys gave/loaned it their Uncle? Who knows....
I'm sure they have plenty of beautiful images of their mother anyway....

One seller on eBay actually had it listed as "nude Diana."

The dress was by Victor Edelstein, not Azagury.

OH Wow! Thanks for getting me to the beautiful, beautiful pictures of the beautiful Diana by Terence Donovan. I get off today from this forum feeling very satisfied. This has made my day! She was truly a wonderful lady and I still miss her when I see her pictures and her boys.

LOL, yes, I do, but it is a two page span in a book that was released shortly after the Royal Wedding....I will see if I can get it scanned...may take a couple of days.......because the book itself is coffee table size!
