Date: July and August 1981
Place: England, the Mediterranean, and Scotland
Event: Honeymoon of Princess Diana and Prince Charles
Leaving from Buckingham Palace for Waterloo Station (where a private train was waiting to take them to Broadlands for the first leg of their honeymoon), Princess Diana wore a peach/salmon colored suit created by Bellville Sassoon.
The hat was created by John Boyd; Diana would repeat this style of hat throughout the next several years.
Following their time at Broadlands, Diana and Charles boarded a plane to Gibraltar.
Once in Gibraltar, the newlyweds boarded the royal yacht Britannia for a cruise around the Mediterranean.
The white and blue floral dress Diana wore in Gibraltar while setting sail on Britannia was designed by Donald Campbell.
Once on the yacht, Diana wore a number of dresses.
Including this polka dot dress (unknown designer).
And this striped, one-shoulder dress (unknown designer). EDIT: I have been informed that it may be a Mondi!
When they went ashore for time on the beach, Diana wore this bandeau-top bikini (unknown designer).
In Egypt, Anwar Sadat came aboard.
Diana wore this striped dress (unknown designer).
Eventually, the honeymooners made their way to Scotland.
On arrival in Scotland, Diana wore this white coat (unknown designer).
In Scotland, Diana and Charles spent the rest of their honeymoon at Balmoral.
A photo-call was arranged with the couple and Diana wore this iconic, tweed outfit designed by Bill Pashley.
Stay tuned for more (honeymooning) royal fashion!
