Princess Diana’s thermal pride
Britain’s Princess Diana was “very proud” to wear thermal underwear.
The late royal – who died in a car accident in 1997 – enjoyed announcing she was sporting the warm undergarments, according to her fashion designer David Sassoon.
He said: “She was very proud of the fact that she wore thermals because she didn’t like overcoats.
“When she was going into the fitting room, she would say, ‘Just a minute, let me take my thermals off.’ I think she enjoyed all that.”
David’s new book ‘The Glamour of Bellville Sassoon’ includes a thank you note Diana wrote to him after he provided her with a floral dress – a bright blue, short-sleeved number decorated with pink, purple, green and yellow flowers – which soon became her favourite even though royal advisors told her not to wear it.
