Princess of Wales, late Diana is fondly remembered worldwide as People’s Princess because of her highly humanitarian and loving personality. For the unversed, Diana was the first wife of King Charles III and was the mother of the two princes, William and Harry. During her tenure as a part of the British Royal Family, as well as her subsequent lifetime away from the royal umbrella (post her separation in 1992), Diana’s fondness for social activism fetched her a lot of love and appreciation globally. Moreover, apart from that, she was also hailed as a fashion icon, which established her as a charismatic personality. And now, let us share with you a small anecdote about one of her signature style statements.
Princess Diana was quite an experimentalist fashion icon in the 90s. She never dressed up a similar way for long, and made quite a bit of changes in her wardrobe and styling choices over the years. Moreover, people began to see a lot of changes in her outfits, especially post her separation from her ex-husband, Charles III. In short, while her initial sartorial picks were reserved and petite, which made her appear as the ideal princess of the British monarchy, after her separation, she became bold and experimented with cuts and silhouettes, revealing her curiosity-filled personality. However, the only style statement which she stayed glued for long was her love for blue eyeliners, which made her look more iconic.

Interestingly, fashion critics over the years had noticed one particular change in the late Princess’ style statements, and that was the moment precisely when she gave up on her liking for blue eyeliners. While it had surprised many, years later, it was Diana’s makeup artist, who revealed the reason behind it. In a 2017 interview with Yahoo Beauty, Mary Greenwell spoke about it and shared how the late Princess started to appreciate beige and brown more. In her words:
“I think beiges and browns are just so much prettier. Simple as that. She felt no need to be showy, so she kept her makeup subtle and appropriate for the occasion. She loved to exaggerate her gorgeous eyes and wear loads of mascara. She was someone who was in the public eye presenting herself all the time to the public. It isn’t particularly appropriate to go on changing your look every five seconds.”

In the same interaction, Greenwell highlighted how Diana was quite interested in the art of makeup and added how she didn’t think twice before her decision to play around it a bit. Moreover, she emphasised how Diana would majorly want to make her eyes prominent among all her looks, and for the same, she often used to switch over between picks of green or blue eyeshadow. She mentioned:
“She loved makeup and loved experimenting. It wasn’t to the point of going from green eyeshadow to blue eyeshadow, but just experimenting with ways to bring her eyes out more.”

Back on September 1, 2023, right after Princess Diana's 26th death anniversary, ABC’s Good Morning America had released tapes with Princess Diana’s startling confessions related to the current King of the United Kingdom, Charles III.
In the recordings, Princess Diana had made a shocking revelation about the current monarch and her ex-husband, and shared how he was disappointed after the birth of their secondborn, Prince Harry. In fact, during Harry’s christening, Charles chatted with Diana’s mother, Frances Shand Kydd and expressed how he wished for a girl and not a boy.
