As a new exhibition showcases the late Princess of Wales’s wardrobe at Kensington Palace, Justine Picardie pays tribute to a royal style icon
At the time of their early encounters, Diana was deeply unhappy, suffering from the bulimia that had plagued her since her engagement to Prince Charles when she was just 19, and from the grief associated with a failing marriage. In her memorial tribute to the Princess, Tilberis wrote in Bazaar: “As Diana was going through some of the worst moments of her life, I was also hitting mine. When I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1993, Diana became the most loyal and cheering of friends. In spite of her own troubles over her separation and divorce, and all of her thousands of commitments to others, she’d call me constantly.” This kindness and compassion was also manifest in Diana’s warm and open-hearted approach to the homeless, people with AIDS, and those afflicted with diseases such as leprosy, which had pushed them beyond the margins of society. “How many of us even begin to show such generosity?” asked Tilberis. “Only now can we truly see how much she was on the side of the angels. A bright light has gone out of my life, and I feel the world has become a darker place without her.”
