We’ve all heard about Princess Diana‘s revenge dress and the message she was trying to send to her soon-to-ex-husband and his then-mistress when she wore it in 1994. But according to a royal author who was friends with the late princess, there was another dress Diana was seen in years earlier that she rocked to make Charles’ lover (formerly known as Camilla Parker Bowles) go “insane.”
How Princess Diana taunted Camilla with a simple blue dress
Former diarist and magazine editor Tina Brown was friends with the late royal and even met with Diana a few weeks before her death in 1997.
