EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of Royal Ascot in 1981. Lady Diana Spencer, on the cusp of her royal journey, can be seen enjoying a delightful day with friends. Positioned towards the bottom left of the frame, her presence is unmistakable as she dons an elegant ribbon banded hat and a stylish striped top. As Lady Diana mingles with her companions, a few eagle-eyed race goers on the right side of the picture catch sight of her and eagerly crane their necks for a glimpse. It is clear that even at this early stage, recognition follows wherever she goes. This particular visit to Ascot holds great significance as it marks Lady Diana's first official appearance at the esteemed races. Little did anyone know then that she would soon become an iconic member of The Royal Family. The photograph captures not only fashion trends from that era but also showcases horse-drawn carriages and a bustling crowd immersed in excitement over horse racing. With its timeless charm and historical context, this image serves as a cherished memory from one unforgettable day in June 1981. Ron Burton's expert lens has immortalized this moment in time, allowing us to relive an enchanting chapter from Lady Diana's life before she became known as The Princess of Wales.
