就在剛過去的倫敦時裝週結束後,作為戴安娜王妃的好友兼設計師 Paul Costelloe 不禁跟外國媒體透露出,戴安娜王妃會全力支持兒子哈里退出皇室成員的決定,「她不會因為兒子的退縮而感到沮喪,她反而會認為『去做你需要做的事情』,因為她永遠把孩子放在第一位。」

如今年邁73歲的 Paul Costelloe 在1980年代和1990年代與戴安娜合作了15年,因此擁有過不少時尚美好的回憶。

在1982年的時候,是戴安娜的女僕走進設計師的店舖,並邀請前往肯辛頓宮為戴安娜王妃訂造服飾。當時戴安娜要拜訪印度,根據當地文化背景,服飾大部分都要遮蓋皮膚表示尊敬。整個過程中戴安娜的友善溫柔讓設計師永生難忘,更無須 Paul Costelloe 行禮,或是 Yes ma’am 前 No ma’am 後如此拘謹守禮。

自此之後,兩人便展開密切合作的多個年頭:1988年到澳大利亞的時候,戴安娜穿着話淡淡的鵝黃色印花長裙,典雅大方的氣質在一眾游泳運動員中突顯而出;1993年出訪印度之旅,Paul Costelloe 為她設計出粉色西裝搭配波點百褶裙的造型,在陽光的照射下,隱約透出裙襬的陰影。

「戴安娜本身喜歡湖水綠、黃色和粉紅色的鮮艷顏色,加上她有漂亮的肩膀比例,輕易駕馭西裝、墊肩的設計。她其實非常鍾情時裝,對於時裝更有獨特的見解,特別是裝扮自己的時候。」
