The Prince and Princess of Wales arrived in Vienna at the start of a three-day visit on this day in 1986, to promote British Week in Vienna. Highlights included a carriage procession, Gala Performance at the Burgtheater (for which the Princess wore a Catherine Walker with her Prince of Wales Feathers Pendant), a Performance of the London Philharmonia Orchestra at the Musikverein (at which the Princess wore her famous Victor Edelstein gown with her Sapphire Choker), and a Fashion Show. The visit to Vienna was followed by a visit to Italy.
