Princess Diana’s wedding to Prince Charles was one of the most memorable events of the 1980s.
Crowds around the world instantly fell in love with theprincess' stylish gownand long train.
However, the iconic dress caused quite a headache for its designers, Elizabeth and David Emanuel.
David even requested that copies of the sketches be destroyed (viaThe Daily Mail).
After that, the soon-to-be princess was certain they were the right designers to create her wedding dress.
They established a great friendship and the Emanuels continued to design gowns for Diana even after the wedding.
“I am just so happy that it has finally all been settled,” Elizabeth exclusively told People.
“This means I can move forward with my life.”
With the settling, Elizabeth now owns all the intellectual property rights of the Emanuel partnership.
The dress even included lace that once belonged to Queen Mary.
It was later revealed that the royal gown was not exactly one of a kind.
The second dress was created without the princess knowing so as not to stress her about the big day.
The backup dress did differ from the one Princess Diana would end up wearing during the ceremony.
Unlike the ivory dress that made its way to St. Peter’s Cathedral, the backup dress was white.
It was also missing some of the most noteworthy features that ended up being part of the royal gown.
The backup dress didn’t include the record-length train, nor did it include the playful puffy sleeves.
