There is a body language, but also a clothing language. Diana, wife of the then Prince of Wales and future British king, knew this well and more. According to what Tina Brown writes in ‘The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor’, in fact, William and Harry’s mother also knew how to make wise use of it. During the ‘Live Aid’ concert at Wembley Stadium on 13 July 1985 to raise funds for the famine in Ethiopia, in the stands next to Charles, Diana wore a recognizable polka dot and striped dress “with the aim of driving Camilla crazy”. For sky-high slits or eye-catching décolleté? No, the dress was absolutely chaste and, above all, the princess was not the type for cheap provocations. And her message is more subtle than her, enough to hit the mark.
But, to understand what happened that day almost 40 years ago in London, we must first take a step back. This story in fact begins in the 70s of the last century, when Charles, who was already dating Camilla, was simultaneously seeing Lady Dale “Kanga” Tryon, an Australian stylist who King Charles defined as “the only woman who ever truly understood me “. At that time, apparently, the former Duchess of Cornwall and the businesswoman were “serious rivals” and hated each other to death. At least until 1981, when Carlo got married to Diana and his alleged love triangle with the two women was interrupted.
But if he managed to give up Tryon, within a few years, as is known, the future king instead resumed his acquaintance with Camilla. And now the message that Diana sent to her with her dress from the stands of Wembley is finally clear for us too. Knowing that her husband’s lover would recognize the dress she was wearing, and that it bore her ex’s signature, without saying a single word, she said to her: “I know you’re the other woman now, but remember when there was someone else who Charles turned to, instead of you, and who he thought understood him better than anyone else.”
