As the earliest constitutional monarchy country in the world, the love and hatred of the royal family has always been a topic that everyone talks about after dinner. Speaking of princesses, even today, on the 25th anniversary of Princess Diana's death, she is still the most beloved princess of the British people and is known as the "people's princess."
Contrary to the conservativeness of the British royal family, Princess Diana actively participated in various charity activities, devoted herself to the anti-landmine movement and helped the world eliminate prejudice against AIDS . Such an approach will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the royal family. Coupled with her husband's cheating and the depression of married life, after years of obedience and forbearance, Diana wore a black dress that did not comply with royal regulations in June 1994. The backless bodycon dress made a splash at a charity dinner. This dress is known as the "Revenge Dress" (revenge dress) by the world.
Let’s take a look at the story behind this dress today~
Le 29 juin 1994, la princesse Diana prend tout le monde de court (so shocking that there is no time to react) . Elle arrives rayonnante (adj. dazzling) à la Serpentine Gallery de Londres dans une robe qui défie les conventions du palais (Royal regulations): moulante (adj. tight), courte, épaules dénudées (shoulderless). La création est signée Christina Stambouli and fait sensation dans les jardins du Palais de Kensington Palace (Kensington Palace, where Princess Diana lived during her lifetime) , où Lady Di s'est rendue seule pour un dîner caritatif (philanthropic).
Il faut dire qu'au même instant, elle sait que son mariage prend officiellement l 'eau( Full of loopholes, here it is extended to the broken marriage) . Accrocher le regard, Diana éclipse (overwhelm, dwarf...) tout sur son passage et gagne l'épisode médiatique (media coverage, public opinion) . Il n'en faudra pas plus pour voir naître le terme «revenge dress» («la robe de la revanche»), symbol of liberté retrouvée de Lady Di.
On the same night that Princess Diana attended the dinner, her husband Prince Charles publicly admitted his extramarital affair with Camilla, but all the media attention was drawn to Princess Diana's statement, which clearly challenged the royal authority. Attracted by the military uniform, the penitent Prince Charles can only pale in comparison to the dazzling Diana.
It should be noted that this is not the first time that Princess Diana expressed her resistance and dissatisfaction through clothing:
Dans les années 1980, on lit à travers ses vêtements une forme de désenchantement (n.m. disillusionment, disillusionment of dreams), Comme un appel à l'aide. Les Britanniques are imaginaient in the conte of fées, or souhait leur montrer in ce n'était pas le cas. 'une princesse et une femme protocole royal (The rules of the royal family). The rules of the royal family (the rules of the royal family) Statut de «princess», Diana a comprisque la presse, le public, tout le monde scrutait (look carefully) ce qu'elle portait. Il a d'abord été question de savoir d'où venaient ses vêtements afin de copier son style.Mais quand votre parole publique est restreinte,ce Due to various regulations of the royal family, clothing became a channel for Princess Diana to communicate with the outside world.
Finally, those who are interested in the life of Princess Diana can better understand her life through documentaries: "The Story of Diana", "Diana: In Her Own Words", "The Royal House of Windsor" and other documentaries .
