Princess Diana’s dress designer has questioned why her ex-husband “started a public fight” over the royal family’s wedding dress designs.
Elizabeth Emanuel has spoken of her “unfortunate” high-profile legal battle with ex-partner David, from whom she split in 1990, over the auctioning of drawings of their designs and alleged copyright infringement almost four years ago.
The designer also admitted she knew a phone call from “sweet and shy” Lady Diana Spencer in 1981 about designing her wedding dress would “change her life.”
Talking to TelegraphShe said: “She radiated this energy and warmth. We made a few things for her, and then we got a call: “Would you do me the honor of making my wedding dress?”
“I always thought to myself, ‘it would be wonderful (if she chose us)’, but I never thought she would. The moment I answered the phone, I knew it had changed my life.”
