Remembering Princess Diana as Prince William is set to celebrate his mom's 64th birthday
With Prince William getting ready to celebrate what would have been his mother, Princess Diana's 64th birthday on 1 July, the world once again focuses its attention on the most beloved Royal of all time. On July 1, Prince William honors Princess Diana's legacy on her 64th birthday.(AP ) Princess Diana would have turned 64 this year, and though she passed away tragically in 1997, her legacy as the 'People's Princess' remains powerful. In the same year, she was all over the news walking across a live landmine field in Angola. Diana was changing the image of what royalty could be, even in her last year. Her last birthday, on 1 July 1997, was a quiet affair, just a month before her death. Divorced from Prince Charles, Diana was in the midst of rebuilding her life. She attended a charity gala at London's Tate Gallery wearing a dazzling black beaded gown gifted by designer Jacques Azagury and received more than 90 bouquets of flowers.

Just a year earlier, she stunned the world in 'the Revenge Dress,' a daring black number worn the same night Prince Charles publicly admitted to infidelity. Perhaps the most heartbreaking image of her time as a royal remains the shot of her sitting alone at the Taj Mahal in India, a symbol of love, while then Prince Charles conducted royal duties elsewhere. When asked about his wife, he simply replied: 'Work it out for yourself.'

The playful fabric contrast was also featured on the cuff of Queen Camilla's dress sleeve. She wore a pair of navy pumps to accentuate her navy blue color palette. Her accessories included such pieces as her go-to Van Cleef & Arpels bracelets. As for King Charles III's attire, the reigning monarch also opted for a dark, muted shade of blue, which he paired with a neutral tie, white button-down shirt and pocket square. The British royal couple's arrival in Rome on Monday marks the first day of their Italy tour. As evidenced by previous tours, namely her 2024 trip to Australia, Queen Camilla regularly gravitates to her tried-and-true silhouettes. An admirer of the midi dress, Queen Camilla often styles looks courtesy of her go-to designers Anna Valentine and Fiona Clare. Although Queen Camilla consistently gravitates toward the same silhouette, her style remains playful when it comes to patterns and accessories. Often she'll go into her own personal vault for a brooch to add to her attire or go the sentimental route, wearing a piece inherited from Queen Elizabeth II.
