Princess Diana attended a Gala Dinner hosted by Vanity Fair at the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens on this day in 1994, 30 years ago, on the night the Prince publicly admitted that their marriage had ‘irretrievably broken down’.
Diana wore the dress to a 29 June 1994 fundraising dinner hosted by Vanity Fair magazine for the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens.[2] Diana had declined the dinner invitation; however, two days prior to the dinner, following several days’ publicity of Charles’ infidelity revelations, she accepted the invitation. Diana found out about Charles’ infidelity in different ways prior to the dinner. An example is in some newspaper headlines they reported “Charles: I Cheated on Diana” and “Di told you so”.
A television programme about her husband Prince Charles was broadcast, in which he admitted to having been unfaithful to her after their marriage had “irretrievably broken down”. Charles and Diana had separated two years prior to the broadcast of the programme. Diana’s biographer Sarah Bradford wrote that Diana “feigned indifference” in regards to the programme.
Princess Diana wore her iconic ‘revenge dress’ with the Sapphire and Pearl Choker and Collingwood Pearl Earrings for the Vanity Fair Gala at the Serpentine Gallery.
