Why Princess Diana Avoided Wearing Channel?
Why Princess Diana never wore channel?
For many years, the Chanel fashion house has been regarded as one of the most renowned in the world, and wearing their products has long been considered a luxury. Princess Diana was one of the rare divas who refused to wear their outfits, and she had a good and tragic reason for it.
Even though she died two and a half decades ago, Princess Diana is still regarded as a fashion icon.
In addition to the Crown series, the film "Spencer," which was devoted to Diana and starred Kristen Stewart, received a lot of attention. Many others, however, were dissatisfied with Kristen's costume choices. At first look, everything appears to be good; the actress is wearing a red coat with the Chanel fashion house's trademark, and it is a reference to Diana's style from the Christmas Mass in 1993 when she was already considering a divorce from Prince Charles.

- I asked him: 'You got that from Camilla, didn't you?', And he answered: 'Yes, what's the problem? It's just a gift from a friend. ' Oh, how we quarreled then. Jealousy, pure jealousy. And it was a good idea, with two C's, but not so smart - said Diana.
The intertwined letters C, which is primarily the label for the initial letter of the name and surname Coco Chanel, were recognized by Charles and Camilla as the first letters of their names.
However, Diana disliked Chanel brand as a result of this.- It's Camilla and Charles, you know? - she once told her stylist, as the British Telegraph writes.
It wasn't until the 1990s that she bravely started wearing costumes with a logo that used to be so repulsive to her …
