Diana’s Halo Trust outfit to be shown for the first time

-

DIANA, Princess of Wales’s landmines outfit is to go on display at Kensington Palace as part of the Diana: Her Fashion story exhibition.

The Halo Trust-branded protective vest, which was worn by the Princess on her high-profile visit to Angola in 1997, has never been displayed before.

A simple sleeveless blue-denim shirt and the Armani chinos worn by Diana during the trip will also be on show.

The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry have loaned the exhibition their late mother’s items. On the visit, Diana famously walked through a cleared landmine area in the African country to highlight the problem with the military munitions. The pictures of her wearing the vest were seen all over the world.

The visit took place just months before she died in a car crash in Paris.

Other new items on loan from William and Harry include a glamorous, purple Versace gown and the pink Bellville Sassoon suit she wore to board the train to her honeymoon in 1981..
