Queen Camilla made a fashion statement this week by debuting the iconic Lady Dior bag during her appearances at Wimbledon and a visit to Wales. The taupe Lady Dior bag, priced at $6,000, was first popularized by Princess Diana, who was known for her impeccable style. Princess Diana's fondness for Dior's design led to the renaming of the bag in her honor, as she was often seen carrying it in public.
Despite some backlash from royal fans who believe the bag should remain associated solely with Princess Diana, Queen Camilla confidently carried the Lady Dior bag with different outfits during her outings. This isn't the first time Queen Camilla has showcased her love for Dior, having previously worn a navy cape dress by the French fashion house at a royal banquet in Versailles.
It's worth noting that Meghan Markle has also been spotted carrying a version of the Lady Dior bag in the past, further solidifying its status as a timeless and coveted accessory. In fact, Dior even re-issued a blue satin mini version of the bag that Princess Diana famously wore to the 1996 Met Gala for a limited time.
While some royal fans expressed disapproval of Queen Camilla using a bag named after Princess Diana, it's evident that the Lady Dior bag remains a symbol of enduring style and elegance. Despite differing opinions, the bag continues to be a coveted accessory among fashion enthusiasts and members of the royal family alike.
