We've read up on Princess Diana's wedding shoes [1] and sapphire engagement ring [2] and recently discovered something surprising about her engagement outfit. When she got engaged to Prince Charles after six months of dating [3], she needed an ensemble for the royal announcement. She searched high and low but ultimately ended up at a famous British department store [4]: Harrods.
It was there that Princess Diana bought a skirt suit in a royal blue color, which just so happened to complement her engagement ring. This little-known fact isn't too surprising, considering her relatable public image [5]. Even still, people likely never knew she got her outfit off the racks. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if you suspected Princess Diana's engagement suit to be a custom look, courtesy of a designer [6]. The royal could have made anything look elegant and luxe [7].
