EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 25th of October, 1990, during the state visit of President Cossiga of Italy to Britain. The elegant setting is none other than the prestigious V&A Museum in London, where a grand banquet was held in honor of this momentous occasion. Two iconic figures grace the frame: Princess Diana and Princess Margaret. Both princesses exude regal charm as they don exquisite tiaras atop their heads. However, it is Princess Diana who steals the spotlight with her radiant presence. She wears a stunning fuchsia pink silk off-the-shoulder evening dress designed by Victor Edelstein – a true masterpiece that perfectly accentuates her graceful figure. What makes this photograph even more remarkable is its historical significance beyond fashion and glamour. This very dress would later become lot #30 at an auction organized by Diana herself in New York City in 1997. With incredible generosity and dedication to her charities, she managed to raise an astounding $36,800 from its sale. Gavin Kent's expertly captured image allows us to relish not only in the beauty and elegance displayed but also serves as a reminder of Princess Diana's unwavering commitment to philanthropy throughout her life. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded once again why she remains an enduring icon within the House of Windsor and for royalty enthusiasts worldwide.
