30 Rare Pics Of Princess Diana
Princess Diana was one of the most famous and pictured of women in the world! While it seems like her every move was documented in the ’80s and ’90s by paparazzi, there are many vintage and rare pictures that have been widely unseen by the public providing a more intimate look into her life. It was incredibly sad when she died, and many blame the insane tabloid culture for her death.
Known as “The People’s Princess,” Lady Diana will be forever remembered not only for her beauty and fashion sense but also for her humanitarian work and kindness. She was one of the first members of the Royal Family to advocate for AIDS prevention and treatment. She visited Africa numerous times to try to help those in need. This was extra special because at this time in history many people held negative stereotypes about AIDS and AIDS sufferers. Moreover, Princess Diana also very much supported educational causes and helped many children in need.
Diana as a person was clearly amazing, as was her fashion sense. She had a number of classy, elegant and progressive looks. Many of her outfit choices became trends around the world, and how can we forget her hair? Even her new haircuts made headlines. It was everything from her hair, to her smile, to her wardrobe to her as a person that made her so special. She also made royal history by intentionally breaking some rules of Buckingham Palace. For example, she was the first member of the royal family to say her traditional wedding vows without the word “obey.” Meghan Markle followed suit at her wedding, but it was Diana who did it first! Besides that, who could forget the epic wedding between Prince Charles and Princess Diana? It seemed like everyone in the universe watched the two get married. Her wedding dress was made in secret, and still to this day her train in the longest in royal history. She led such an interesting life, of course, we want to see more of her despite her passing!
So, while it seems like Princess Diana or Lady Diana Spencer was always in the spotlight, there are a number of rare photos that give an intimate glimpse into her life. We compiled 30 of the most intriguing rare photos that show a special side of Diana before her life came to an end:
A Whirlwind Romance
Despite media reports, the truth is Charles and Diana didn’t know each other that well before they walked down the aisle. Their engagement was announced after they had gone on only 12 dates!
A Whirlwind Romance
A National Holiday
Their wedding day was epic and it was officially declared a national holiday. The date the two wed was July 29, 1981. UK citizens were so overjoyed by the wedding and wanted it to be an official holiday so they could take part in the celebration.
A National Holiday
Let Them Eat Cake
The couple’s celebration was super extravagant. Did you know they had a total of 27 wedding cakes? The official cake was designed and made by David Avery. He was the head baker at the Royal Naval cooking school. In 2014 a piece of the 33-year-old cake was actually auctioned off for $1,375.
Let Them Eat Cake
The Secret Dress
The specifics about Diana’s dress were intentionally kept secret from the press. She and the royal family only wanted the dress to be revealed: “the moment [Diana] stepped into the glass coach at Clarence House.” Designers made a total of three dresses for Diana, just in case word got to the media before the big day.
The Secret Dress
In The Details
Diana’s wedding dress still holds the record for the longest train in royal wedding history! It was adorned with over 10,000 mothers of pearl sequins and pearls. The most amazing part? The 25-foot-long train. We can’t forget about the silk-taffeta custom-designed train that reportedly cost over $115,000.
In The Details
Ring the Bells
Diana’s wedding details were surrounded by controversy. Did she know she actually selected her own engagement ring from a catalog? Most royal engagement rings are custom designed, but Diana chose her ring which consisted of 14 solitaire diamonds around a 12-carat sapphire set in white gold from a Garrard jewelry collection catalog. Since her death, it has been passed on to Kate Middleton.
Ring The Bells
Independent Woman
Diana was the first royal bride to not follow royal protocol in regards to her wedding vows. In general, royal brides are expected to read traditional wedding vows. Diana removed the word “obey” when she recited her wedding vows. This was a huge deal and made headlines. Kate and William actually followed suit when they wed in 2011.
Independent Woman
Wasting Away
The stress of the wedding was almost too much for Princess Diana to bear! She seemed stressed and it showed. She lost quite a few pounds before her big day. It caused issues with the fitting of her dress. She actually had 15 lengthy fittings to get Diana’s dress to fit properly. “Every time she turned up for a fitting, she had lost more weight,” noted Elizabeth Emmanuel in an interview. “We put it down to nerves. But it did make it incredibly difficult for us to get on with making the dress.” The morning of the wedding she was actually sewed into the dress.
Wasting Away
Early Troubles
Charles also had some nerves. According to Sally Beddel Smith (royal biographer) in her book about Prince Charles, she stated he was still hopelessly in love with his ex, Camilla Parker-Bowers. He was pressured by his father to cut ties with her and wed Diana. Smith claims the Prince actually cried the night before he married Diana. Charles very publicly rekindled his affair with Camilla after Prince William and Harry were born.
Early Troubles
Just Like Cinderella
The dress wasn’t the only concern for designers. Diana is a little taller than others, so she had to have lower hells. Cobbler Clive Shilton explained, “Her main concern was that she wouldn’t appear taller than Prince Charles, and because she was very tall — 5ft 10in — the shoes would have to have a low heel.” Each slipper was very beautiful and detailed. Each one of a kind silk slipper was covered in 542 sequins and 132 pearls and had a “C” and “D” with a love heart painted on the shoes’ hidden arch. We guess the shoes took 6 months to complete! Can you believe that?
Just Like Cinderella
The Nerves!
Diana was so nervous when she made it to the altar she called her future husband by the wrong name! She called him Philip Charles Arthur George instead of just Charles Philip!
The Nerves
Watched by Millions
The royal wedding was certainly an international spectacle. It was watched by over 3,500 guests! It was broadcasted in 74 countries and watched by 750 million people worldwide! It is still the most watched royal wedding in history!
Watched By Millions
The Forgotten Kiss
The Prince has so filled with nerves on her special day it was pretty obvious! The bride and groom are supposed to seal their vows with a kiss, but Prince Charles was so nervous he actually forgot to kiss Diana at the altar! The two later kissed on the balcony as millions watched and cheered!
The Forgotten Kiss
Working Girl
Before Diana was royalty, she lived and worked just like we all do. She was the first royal bride to have a paying job before her engagement. For example, she was a kindergarten teacher assistant before she was engaged.
Working Girl
Ex in Attendance
Diana was reportedly very aware of Charles’ feelings for Camilla. She was invited to the wedding, and Diana accepted that. She did, however, refuse to have her attend the more exclusive wedding breakfast that occurred before the nuptials.
Ex In Attendance
Train Troubles
Diana’s 25-foot train was obviously a little hard to walk in. It ended up causing some problems on the wedding day. The wedding dress designers didn’t assume that the size of the carriage she would be riding in. The dress and its train ended up being a little-crushed inside the carriage because of this. When she exited the carriage, there were visible wrinkles on her dress and the train. Whoops!
Train Troubles
Tiara in Training
Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, said that her elaborate tiara actually gave her a headache! He said in an interview, “In the evening we all went to a sort of semi-private party and she was there and she seemed incredibly relaxed and happy and I just remember she had a cracking headache too because she wasn’t used to wearing a tiara all morning.” Diana wore the Spencer Tiara, which had been in Diana’s family for almost a century anyway on her special day.
Tiara In Training
Red Flag
There was some trouble in paradise from the start. There are quite a few examples of Charles hesitation with his marriage to Diana. For example, when their engagement was confirmed in 1981, a reporter asked the two if they were in love. Diana said, “Of course,” while Charles said, “Whatever ‘in love’ means.”
Red Flag
Another Love
We have another wedding fail. Did you know the Princess spilled an entire bottle of perfume on her dress when she was trying to tab some on herself? It was her favorite scent by Quelques Fleure. The mistake actually left a stain on the dress that the princess covered with her hand and her bouquet throughout the ceremony.
Another Love
Heightened Security
Security was a big issue on their wedding day. According to The New York Times, the security measures reportedly cost up to $110 million!
Heightened Security
Safety First
The press was incredibly desperate to sneak some pictures of Diana’s dress. As we mentioned she and the dress designers (the Emanuals) took unprecedented security measures when designing the dress. They apparently ripped up sketches after showing them to Diana just in case. They also installed a safe in their studio to keep the designs safe and in secret.
Safety First
Wedding Gifts
The duo got a number of awesome gifts including from none other than The Reagans! They sent the royal couple an engraved Steuben glass bowl and also a handmade porcelain centerpiece! Both gifts were just lovely! This is just one of many amazing gifts they received. They also got a special whiskey from Scotland, a matching diamond and sapphire watch, and even 100-year-old silk mittens!

Misery Uncovered
Despite her big smile, Diana had a bit of misery on the day of her wedding. There was previously unseen footage that was released in 2017. It shows the Princess looking quite sad as she is sitting and talking to her friend, Peter Settlen. The footage showed her describing her wedding day as “the worst day of my life.” She added, “If I could write my own script I would have my husband go away with his woman and never come back.” She was referring to Camilla.
Misery Uncovered
Distant Relations
One interesting fact that was only revealed after the pair wed, was that Charles and Diana were distantly related. They were actually distant cousins! Both Diana and Charles were 16th cousins once removed as they were both descendants of Tudor King, Henry VII. Pretty interesting, right?
Distant Relations
The Honeymoon
The couple seemed like they needed some much-needed quality time together before they embarked on their 14-day honeymoon. They took a cruise on the Mediterranean. In an uncovered piece of correspondence, “The honeymoon was a perfect opportunity to catch up on sleep…”
The Honeymoon
Dark Truth
While many speculated Diana Spencer’s excessive weight loss was due to nerves, new video footage reveals a more sinister story. Charles allegedly made a comment to Diana that “set something off” in her. He grabbed her waist and said, “Oh, a bit chubby here, aren’t we?” Perhaps it was this comment that led Diana to develop an unhealthy relationship with food. She reportedly went from a 29-inch waist all the way down to 23.5 inches before her big wedding day.
Dark Truth
A Hidden Gift
Charles apparently made a number of insensitive comments. This is part of the reason it was very hard for Diana to ignore his relationship with Parker-Bowels. Camilla and the Prince had nicknames for each other: Fred and Gladys. Also, just weeks before the wedding, Charles gave Camilla a bracelet with G and F inscribed on it. Diana discovered this later. Can you believe Diana still allowed Camilla to come to the wedding?
A Hidden Gift
The Venue
The wedding between Charles and Diana took place at the St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. Lady Diana left the Clarence House and was taken to the ceremony in a beautiful coach. It was one of few royal weddings to not take place at the royal church at Westminster Abbey.

Loving Legacy
Despite all the drama, Diana will always be remembered as a Princess of the People. She was a gracious person who is absolutely beautiful. She had a big heart for charity and will remain forever as an icon. Due to the recent wedding of her youngest son, Harry, many have been inspired to reflect on the life of the beloved Princess Diana.

Save Me A Dance
Big Hugs
there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Princess Diana loved her two precious sons more than anything in the world, and this photo proves it even further. This reunion photo of the two of them is just beyond words. We’re not sure how long they were apart, but it seems as though they couldn’t be happier to be back together.
Big Hugs
Amusement Park Rides
What a fun day! In 1993 the royal family took a trip to Thorpe Park, which is located outside of London. Princess Diana joined her sons on the rides and seemed to be having the time of her life. We’re sure it meant the world to them that their mom wanted to spend this time with them.
Amusement Park Rides
The Most Fashionable
Here you will see Princess Diana engaged in what seems to be a happy conversation with Princess Margaret, who is Queen Elizabeth’s sister, at Victoria State, where they were visiting with the Italian president. Princess Diana was a fashion icon, and even today women turn to her past looks for style inspiration.
The Most Fashionable
Family Giggles
On a night out to the Royal Opera House in London in 1995, you can see Princess Diana enjoying a laugh with her sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes. Being a princess can be stressful sometimes, so seeing Princess Diana laughing so freely is great.
Family Giggles
Pastel Paradise
This photo was taken while the entire family of royals stood on the balcony to watch the British Royal Navy fly overhead during the annual Trooping The Colour parade in 1992. This is an important day in the United Kingdom, so of course, the royal family wouldn’t miss it for anything.
Pastel Paradise
Having A Ball
This magical night was actually not a royal night in the United Kingdom, but rather, in Australia! This was taken during the 1988 British royal tour of Australia. The two look so in love, and we’re sure they were happy together while dancing the night away.
Having A Ball
Out For Fresh Air
As you can imagine, a lot of quality time with the entire family is rare to come by when you are a member of the royal family, so Princess Diana wanted to enjoy every moment she had with her family while they were vacationing in the Scilly Isles.
Out For Fresh Air
A Child’s Dream
Like many children around the world, Prince William and Prince Harry idolized police officers. One day their dream came true and they were able to dress up as police officers for a day! We’re not sure who was more excited- the police officers to meet the royal family, or the royal family to get this fun opportunity!
A Child’s Dream
A Couple That Matches
Though the phrase “the couple that matches together, stays together” wasn’t so prevalent in this situation, they still looked adorable in the moment. They were wearing matching beige suits while they were visiting Cameroon in 1990. Though beige is usually a boring color, these two made it look quite fashionable.
A Couple That Matches
Snowed In
The royal couple loved skiing, which is why they went on a ski vacation to Liechtenstein in 1984. Usually clothes for skiing and other outdoor sports aren’t so chic-looking, but Princess Diana further proves to the whole world that she can look amazing in anything that she chooses to wear.
Snowed In
Flowers For The Princess
Photographed next to Princess Diana is Jenny Bianco, Lord Mayor of Westminster. When this photo was taken in 1993 they were at Centrepoint, which is an organization that provides housing for homeless youth throughout the United Kingdom.
Flowers For The Princess
The Princess, A People Person
A few years before Princess Diana was taken from the world in a terrible accident, she went to visit a woman by the name of Sylvia Killick, who at the time was the only female resident at the London Lighthouse. The London Lighthouse is a center for people with AIDS. This was not the first or last time Princess Diana expressed her advocacy for the cause.
The Princess, A People Person
Out On The Waters
This may be a bit of a safety concern, but Princess Diana didn’t care so much. The bright orange life vest provided for her on the boat simply would not have matched well with her powder blue suit, so she opted to take the risk instead of ruining her outfit. While we are big safety advocates, we also think her outfit looks great!
Out On The Waters
A Royal Christmas
As you may have noticed, when you are a member of the royal family, there is no such thing as “dressing down”. Meaning, William and Harry never had the opportunity to wear their pajamas in public on Christmas or buy funny Christmas sweaters from a store. Here you will see them dressed ready for public appearances before Christmas in 1994.
A Royal Christmas
Race To The Palace
When we say that Princess Diana could make anything look fashionable, we mean it. Truly, look at this photo! She is wearing dangled earrings, a sweater, and a long skirt and is running with no problem! This is admirable, and quite frankly, pretty impressive!
Race To The Palace
A Pop Of Color
London is notorious for having gray and gloomy skies more often than anyone would like, but that never stopped Princess Diana from shining in her brightly-colored outfits and looking stunning anywhere she went. Plus, while she’s spending time with her kids, she could never look upset anyway.
Pop Of Color
Cross-Culture Gatherings
Princess Diana is seen here wearing a traditional garland over her pink and blue skirt suit while on a visit to the small village of Noorpour Shahan in Pakistan. One thing that was very amazing that Princess Diana always was aware of, was respecting other peoples’ cultures and the people she encountered, no matter where in the world she was.
Cross-Culture Gatherings
Confident As Can Be
Princess Diana was known for her utmost amount of well-deserved confidence in herself. So many people around the world idolized Princess Diana and turned to her for guidance, so it was important for her to show off her confidence. Diana was also a style icon for girls, so her pearl necklace, scarf, and tote bag quickly became necessities to everyone.
Confident As She Can Be
On The Beach
Princess Diana seems as though she is in her element, surrounded by her adoring kids and others- she was a spectacular mom who was devoted, caring and involved as you can see in this image. Princess Diana looks especially cute in her animal print bathing suit, a trend we are seeing make a huge comeback recently. She looks beachy, happy and the kids seem to enjoy covering her in sand.
On The Beach
Hunter Boots
A trendsetter, a role model, and much more- here we see Diana sporting the popular brand Huner. Hunters have been widely sought after, the brand has become a fashion statement and somewhat of a must-have in many places across the globe. Princess Diana is seen rocking the wellington’s before they even blew up and she may have set the trend and the brand for success.
Hunter Boots
With The Children
A true rarity is this image. Taken in 1983, the picture is set at Kensington Palace where Princess Diana and Prince Charles are holding their young sons, the Prince’s matching outfits are just adorable and Prince William’s cheeky smile says it all. The couple standing amidst the blooming flowers as they hold their boys’ truly makes for a wonderful family photo and overall a beautiful memory.
With The Children
Trip To India
We have seen how Princess Diana and Mother Theresa shared some sort of special bond, this is just another image of the two but this time in India. The picture of the pair was taken in 1992, look at the faces of the women behind the pair. This rare image shows just how much they were both admired, loved, and adored. The two look truly happy and were for sure exchanging some kind words as Mother Theresa grips Princess Diana’s hand.
With Mother Teresea
Australia Trip
Princess Diana looks absolutely magnificent in this natural setting as if she is a model in fact. However, Princess Diana was on a royal tour of Australia in 1983. She looks classy, graceful and elegant in her white dress, which was designed by Benny Ong. The Princess is the epitome of beauty and grace, it is no wonder she was such an icon- still is such an icon.
Walking
The People’s Princess
Princess Diana is seen here in Africa on one of her humanitarian trips, she was referred to as “The People’s Princess,” this was because she truly engulfed herself in multiple causes, she was dedicated to helping the world and doing whatever she could to make it a better place. Well, the baby definitely did not know who he was being held by.
Volunteering
Thorpe Parke
In the picture below Diana is again seen being the devoted mom she was, as her and Harry squeal with happiness riding one of the slides at Thorpe Park. Taken in April 1993, the pair seem to be having tons of fun as they go down the waterslide. Crazy to think how time flies and now Harry is a grown man.
Rafting
With The Car
Pretty in purple, Diana wore this purple outfit to the Ascot races in 1981- she matched from head-to-toe. This image was taken after the races. At this time a skirt suit of this sort was tasteful and elegant, her hat, of course, matched and had simple accents of a feather. However, it is the necklace that is truly grabbing our attention. Even when she was just standing Lady Diana was graceful and gorgeous.
With The Car
Black Hat
Princess Diana in her younger adolescent years, she still embodied the poised and proper person she was. The picture was taken during a vacation in West Sussex. This was in the year 1971. Princess Diana’s blue eyes and blonde hair easily identify her, she looks very much similar to how she did at maturity.
Black Hat
Red Dress
The warm-hearted and magnificent Princess of Wales was pictured in red as she visited a hospital. The picture was captured in 1989 as Diana visited a hospital in England. Once again, she is seen matching from head-to-toe in red, her clutch bag and other accessories are also always complimentary to her outfit. Chic, elegant but very attention-catching in all red with gold accents. Her hair perfectly blown-out and her smile is simply contagious.
Red Dress
Elegant White Dress
Princess Diana looks absolutely breathtaking in the white embellished Catherine Walker dress below. The image was taken in Hungary in 1990 whilst Princess Diana was on official business there. The Princess used to be a major fan of the designer and wore designs from her rather often, this piece was one particularly stunning number. Naturally, Princess Diana had the privilege of wearing some of the best Catherine Walker had to offer.
Elegant White Dress
Revenge Dress
This black number is one of Princess Diana’s most remembered pieces of all time. This dress was worn the same night Prince Charles revealed that he was having an affair in 1994. The dress was deemed “the revenge dress.” Designed by Christina Stambolian the number was a true head-turner. It is truly sad that the dress is now associated with a moment that is not one Diana would be proud of.
Revenge Dress
Grey Dress
Another statement piece that Princess Diana stole the show in, is this Catherine Walker halter-neck dress./ The detailed dress, with a low neckline is something we do not see her wear all that often. In 1995 at London’s Serpentine Gallery- Princess Diana looks heavenly. The detailed dress is simple, elegant, and not too revealing all at the same time.
Grey Dress
Catherine Walker Suit
Yet another Catherine Walker outfit that Diana looked beautiful but also took a different style to her usual one. The blue and white outfit is paired with a headpiece that combines both a headscarf and hat into one. She wore the outfit whilst on an official royal tour which took place in 1989 ar the Gulf States.
Catherine Walker Suit
Easter Service
The Royal Family is seen on their way to an Easter service which was held at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor in 1989. We know the royals celebrate the holidays accordingly, they are observant of religious holidays and embrace the family aspect at these times of every year. They always dress for the occasion, Diana wearing a pop of color and smiling as she always did around her children.
