Diana: Her Fashion Story Diana: Her Fashion Story dokumentiert die Entwicklung des Stils der Prinzessin von den zurückhaltenden Kleidern ihrer ersten öffentlichen Auftritte bis hin zu dem von Glamour, Eleganz und Selbstvertrauen geprägten Stil ihres späteren Lebens. Von ihrer Verlobungen wurde alles, was Diana trug, genau unter die Lupe genommen. Diese Ausstellung zeigt, wie sie ihre besondere Rolle in der Öffentlichkeit ausfüllte und lernte, ihr Image zu nutzen, um Menschen zu inspirieren und sich für ihre Anliegen einzusetzen. Entdecken Sie exquisite und berühmte Outfits aus dem öffentlichen Leben der Prinzessin. Die Ausstellung zeigt eine außergewöhnliche Kollektion von Kleidungsstücken, die von den glamourösen Abendkleidern der 1980er Jahre bis hin zu den eleganten Catherine Walker Anzügen reicht, welche Dianas "Garderobe in den 1990er Jahren ausmachten. Zu den Ausstellungshighlights gehören die blassrosa Emanuel-Bluse von Lord Snowdon, die Diana 1981 für das Verlobungportrait getragen hat sowie Victor Edelsteins ikonisches tintenblaues Samtkleid, das Diana im Weißen Haus getragen hat, als die sie mit John Travolta tanzte. Ein blauer Tartan-Emanuel-Anzug, der Sie in den 1980er Jahren zu einem offiziellen Besuch in Venedig kleidete, wird erstmals öffentlich ausgestellt. Der Anzug wurde erst kürzlich von Historic Royal Palaces – der für den Kensington Palace verantwortlichen Wohltätigkeitsorganisation – auf einer Auktion wiederentdeckt und erworben. * Bitte beachten Sie, dass es zu Warteschlangen am Eingang der Ausstellung kommen kann. Der Kensington Palace dient der königlichen Familie seit dem seit dem 17. Jahrhundert als Residenz. Hier lebten Queen Victoria und Prinzessin Diana. Heute ist der Kensington Palace die offizielle Residenz von William und Kate. Die Highlights des Kensington Palace Die „Cabinet of Curiosities“ ist eine exklusive Sammlung von Gegenständen aus aller Welt, die von Queen Caroline zusammengetragen wurde. Die Queen's Gallery ist ein heller, luftiger Raum, indem Queen Mary ihren Freizeitbeschäftigungen wie Lesen oder Handarbeiten nachkommen konnte. Die prächtigen Königlichen Staatsunterkünfte prächtigen Zimmer, jedes größer als das letzte. Die großzügigen Zimmer der königlichen Staatsunterkünfte (King’s State Appartment) werden durch das beeindruckende King's Staircase verbunden. Das Treppenhaus mit Freskengemälden aus dem 18. Jahrhundert wurde von King Georg in Auftrag gegeben und führte Minister und Botschafter zum König in das Empfangszimmer (Presence Chamber) des Königs. Die King's Staircase ist die erste Verbindung zu den Zimmern, aus denen die King's State Apartments bestehen. All die Großen und Guten des georgianischen Londons wären diese Treppen hochgeklettert, um den König zu besuchen. Mit römischen Säulen, Mamorbüsten und elfenbeinfarbenen Wänden in ist die 1704 erbaute Orangerie ein weiteres Highlight bei der Tor durch das Kensington Palace.

Die Gärten waren über 100 Jahre Teil des Hyde Park und würden 1689 gründeten als Schossgärten vom übrigen Park getrennt und nach holländischem Vorbild mit Blumenbeeten und Buchsbaumhecken umgestaltet. König William, der aus Holland stammte, zu sollte sich so zu Hause fühlen. Die versunkenen Gärten (Sunken Gardens)– angelegt im Jahre 1908 – mit ihren klassischen Proportionen rufen stechen als Teil der Kensington Gardens hervor. Eine geschwungene Laube aus roter Linde mit bogenförmigen Sichtfenstern umgibt die versunkenen Gärten (Cradle Walk).

Depart Edinburgh 09.15 and travel northwest through the historic area of Linlithgowshire, close to the historic palace. The tragic Mary Queen of Scots was born at Linlithgow palace, and became Queen when she was only 6 days old. According to legend her father James V died of a broken heart when he discovered his wife had given birth to a daughter and not the son he was hoping for! Your route along the Forth Valley is one which has been used for thousands of years by invading armies, it was the northernmost frontier of the Roman empire and was later used by the English King Edward I as he marched proudly towards Stirling (only to be sent homewards to think again!). Nowadays it’s at the centre of one of Scotland’s most important industries with huge oil refineries dominating the area. As you approach Stirling the magnificent castle dominates your view and you make your way up towards the high volcanic rock where it imposes itself upon the surrounding land. Known as the ‘Key to Scotland’, for centuries this was the most important castle in Scotland and the views from the top make it easy to see why. To the north is the 220ft high tower of the National Wallace Monument commemorating Scotland’s great hero William Wallace, played by Mel Gibson in the Oscar-winning movie Braveheart. From the castle you can look down over the scene of Wallace’s greatest triumph, the battle of Stirling Bridge, where he defeated the English army in 1297. To the south is Bannockburn where, in 1314, the great Scottish warrior-king Robert the Bruce defeated the English army of Edward II. The battle was fought for possession of Stirling Castle but eventually led to a far greater prize for Scotland – the restoration of independence. It’s an area alive with history and you stop at the castle to give you time to soak up the history and heritage of this great site. From Stirling you head into the Highlands and an area known as the Trossachs. Known as ‘The Highlands in Miniature’, it marks the point where the Lowlands meet the Highlands and entering this beautifully picturesque area feels like going into a different country. With its shimmering lochs, rugged mountain tops and forest-filled glens it’s easy to forget that this was once thought of as a dangerous frontier fought over by the fiercely territorial Highland clans. You stop here for lunch in the village of Aberfoyle, made popular in Victorian times due to its great location. After lunch you ‘take the high road’ or back-road to Loch Lomond, Scotland’s largest lochs at over 22 miles long, passing Lochs Ard, Chon and Arklet along the way as you travel through the protected lands of Scotland’s first National Park. The route you take was described by the famous Scots comedian Billy Connolly as his favourite road in Scotland, and you can discover why – it’s stunning!! You stop at Inversnaid on the secluded north-east of the loch, making it the perfect place to enjoy a walk along the ‘bonny banks’, up to a viewpoint for a fantastic view of the loch and the mountain it’s named after, Ben Lomond. This tranquil setting was once the home of Scotland’s famous highland folk hero, Rob Roy MacGregor. Made popular by many books and films Rob Roy lived an incredible life as a soldier, businessman, cattle-rustler and outlaw. By spending time on the trails by the loch you will undoubtedly be walking in the footsteps of one of Scotland’s great legends. There is also an alternative option to take a boat cruise around the north of the loch (Summer only) or merely enjoy a drink at the local hotel and sample the views. Leaving Loch Lomond you return to Edinburgh passing Scotland’s only lake – the Lake of Mentieth (although we have around 3000 freshwater lochs!). The legend states that after William Wallace was betrayed by his great friend the Earl of Mentieth and executed in London the name was changed from the Loch of Mentieth to the Lake of Mentieth so that nobody would ever forget the traitorous part the Earl played in his death.
