Queen Consort Camilla chose the late Princess Diana’s favorite fashion designer, Bruce Oldfield, to design the dress she will wear at the coronation ceremony to be held in Westminster Abbey on May 6, according to the British Daily Mail website.

This news may come as a surprise to many who know the beginning of the love story between King Charles and his wife Camilla, but the British newspaper considered him the ideal designer for such a day, and indicated in its report the similarity of Camilla and Diana’s looks in many events and they used pictures of similar designs and colors of dresses between them.

Although the designer’s name is associated with most of the late Diana’s outfits, choosing a designer with whom the Queen had not worked before on an important occasion such as the coronation ceremony would be akin to using a hairdresser for the first time on a wedding day.

It is believed that the reason for choosing Camilla’s favorite fashion designer for the late Diana is a nod to the late princess, and an appreciation for her, and Diana’s children will appreciate Camilla’s choice of designer for this important day in family history, and William and Harry may consider this as a recognition of their mother in some way.

The first interaction between Bruce and Diana was in 1980, when she asked him to design something for her to wear for a Christmas party, and since then she was impressed with his designs until she once said that she was one of the biggest admirers of his work, and he also said that she was his ideal client.

Bruce’s designs became famous and famous women began to use him to design dresses for them, while continuing his work with Diana, but when she separated from him during the nineties, Diana gave up working with Bruce, because she realized that her new life did not need to wear formal clothes.

It seems that Diana is behind his great fame, as not working with him caused him to suffer from a recession during the nineties, until Bruce was forced to sell his apartment and worked to support his designs with his own money until he returned to the scene again, and with time he was able to achieve success.
