The Princess of Wales donned the plunging Christina Stambolian cocktail dress to attend a dinner at the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens back in 1994, the very same evening a documentary aired in which Prince Charles confessed to his affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles.

Diana reportedly bought the dress three years earlier in 1991 but considered it too daring to wear. It's not the only controversial moment that will be dramatised in the upcoming episodes. 

According to royal biographer Andrew Morton, who works as a consultant on the series, the well-known BBC Panorama interview in which Diana famously stated: "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded," will also feature.
