750 million people followed live on July 29 1981, the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer. The bride’s dress became an icon in the history of the monarchy and next June it will be exhibited for the first time in more than 25 years at Kensington Palace, London, the Historic Royal Palaces organization announced yesterday.

Thanks to the agreement reached by his sons, Princes William and Harry, the public will be able to admire the design of this historical piece.

The bridal gown, designed by Elizabeth and David Emanuel, is composed of a fitted bodice overlaid in the center, both front and back, with panels of antique Carrickmacross lace that belonged to Queen Mary great-grandmother of the Prince of Wales.

The Royal Style in the Making exhibition, opening June 3, will feature original sketches, fabric swatches and photographs from the collection Royal Ceremonial Dress, as well as a toile de Jouy from the coronation gown of the Queen Mother, wife of King George VI.
