Lady Diana At Goldsmiths Hall - 9th March 1981

Nineteen year old Lady Diana Spencer, Prince Charles’s fiancee, makes her first official appearance at a gala evening at Goldsmith’s Hall to raise funds for the Royal Opera House in London on March 9, 1981.

Diana wore a stunning gown designed by the Emanuels. To Goldsmiths Hall in the capital 
Diana wore the black gown and though she looked amazing, the dress itself had not been a choice warmly received by Charles, black for the royals being the colour of mourning and it's being strapless and low cut considered by him to be far too revealing, the worlds press however loved it.
