There will only ever be one Royal Wedding for me...

The world has gone William & Kate crazy but I just can't get into it. Kate is just not that exciting to me, maybe I am just used to her seeing she has been around now for 9 years. I am not going to compare Kate to Diana as that is not something I do with anyone. Like many other legendary figures there will only ever be one Diana.

Here are some of my favorite memories of Diana or Shy Di as she was known. From the minute she as first tagged as a potential girlfriend for Charles she seemed so sweet. Once the engagement was announced I could not get enough and kept every magazine and picture I could find and could not wait till the weeding, I still remember watching it to this day. Apart from manyy bulging scrapbooks I have a beautiful collection of now hard to get books on Diana, as I always used to get the lastest book about her given to me for birthdays & christmas etc... growing up.

I think she will forever be the people's Princess.....

Royal Wedding Dresses

With all this talk of royal weddings with William & Kates engagement I got to thinking about past royal brides, here are my top picks:

My all time favorite is Princess Grace

In 1994 Lady Sarah made a very modern bride in Jasper Conran

Serena Stanhope copied her mother-in-law Princess Maragaret's dress

Diana's dress looks so dated now but at the time it was a perfect fairytale princess dress

The best engagement ring also goes to Princess Grace with this 11 carat emerald cut platnium ring
