EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when Princess Diana, radiant and elegant, sat on the bonnet of Prince Charles' cherished J reg Aston Martin car. The couple had just attended a thrilling polo match at Smiths Lawn Windsor after an exhilarating day at Ascot races. The significance of this image lies not only in its portrayal of royalty but also in the story behind the iconic vehicle. This Aston Martin was gifted to Prince Charles by none other than Queen Elizabeth II herself as a 21st birthday present, making it all the more special. However, what started as a joyful occasion took an unexpected turn when Prince Charles snapped at Princess Diana to get off the car's bonnet. This incident sparked an argument between them, highlighting their strained relationship during that period. Taken on June 16th, 1987, this photograph encapsulates both the glamour and turmoil within the House of Windsor during the 1980s. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grandeur and opulence, love and understanding can sometimes falter. Kent Gavin's masterful lens has immortalized this moment forever through Memory Lane Prints. As we gaze upon this snapshot from another era, we are transported back to a time when cars were symbols of status and elegance – transporting us not only physically but also emotionally into history itself.
