Something blue . . .

ELIZABETH Emanuel sewed a tiny blue bow into Diana’s waistband, invisible to all but those who knew to look for it.

There was another pale blue bow on her silk garter.

The Emanuels also decided to put a tiny horseshoe, made from 18-carat Welsh gold and studded with white diamonds, created by jeweller Douglas Buchanan, into the label of her dress.

‘Nobody could see our private gift when the dress was being worn,’ says Elizabeth. ‘It was just there as a little token, a second good luck charm, from us to Diana.’
