Glamorous Princess Diana: The dresses and gowns (Youtube video)


Youtube user KellyWurx has uploaded a fascinating compilation of Princess Diana at elegant dinners, glittering premieres, and other dazzling high society events:


The clips are from the period 1996-1997. Two things stand out in particular: (1) the ever constant presence of the media ("Ma'am! Ma'am! Ma'am!"); and (2) the real story going on behind Diana's movie star smile, regal bearing, and well groomed appearance. She was trying to forge a new life for herself and her children as a divorced princess, in a turbulent environment where her husband's allies were trying their best to frustrate her every move. The concerns and welfare of the man on the street was still a priority for Diana. Her PR war against her ex-husband was still in full swing, and she was she was fighting off unfavorable stories in the press about her. She was also searching for the family life that had long been lacking.
