A Wedding Video Has Emerged Of Princess Diana’s Own Cinderella Moment

So. Much. Sparkle - by Chelsea Tromans
  • 10 Feb 2020

Walt Disney had a knack for nailing that princess sparkle. You know the one, where the heroines in his stories move and their whole outfit lights up. Well, this unearthed video of Princess Diana on her wedding day is the real-life version of that.

The close-up video of Princess Diana walking down the aisle on the day of her wedding to Prince Charles shows her tiara positively glistening as the light in the church bounces off its diamond-studded surface. It looks just like a scene out of Cinderella, when her fairy godmother transforms her servant rags into a glittery white ball gown.

The Little Mermaid’s Ariel had that princess glow on her wedding day, too.

Instead of borrowing royal jewels from her mother-in-law Queen Elizabeth II, as is common tradition, Princess Diana wore her family’s Spencer tiara on her wedding day. 

The Spencer tiara has been in Diana’s family for centuries, and is made up of several pieces of jewellery. Its design features diamonds shaped into tulips and stars surrounded by diamond scrolls.

The central part of the tiara was a wedding present to Diana’s grandmother Lady Cynthia Hamilton when she married Albert, Viscount Althorp, the future 7th Earl Spencer, in 1919. The topper was given to Cynthia by Albert’s great aunt, Lady Sarah Isabella Spencer, and the ends of the tiara came from jewellery that once belonged to Frances Manby, the last known Viscountess of Montagu.
