Rare Photos From Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ Wedding

The Bridesmaids Who Stole Hearts

Diana’s bridesmaids — a mix of relatives and family friends — looked like they stepped out of a storybook.
Their gowns, made of ivory taffeta satin with delicate lace and soft yellow sashes, echoed Diana’s look but with a youthful twist.
The youngest attendants, Clementine Hambro and Catherine Cameron, wore pastel flower crowns that matched their tiny bouquets.

One photograph, unseen for decades, shows Diana kneeling to embrace her littlest bridesmaid just moments before the procession began. It’s tender, spontaneous — the kind of image that reminds the world why Diana became the “People’s Princess.”

As the bells of St. Paul’s rang, the children climbed into the royal coach, waving shyly as the crowd erupted in applause.
