I have always thought that Diana was conscious of being the first Princess of Wales since Queen Mary, and of following in her footsteps for a time, at least stylistically. She was heavily criticized for adopting a new hairstyle just before she accompanied the Queen to the Opening of Parliament. But the style was very reminiscent of those worn by both Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary when they were Princesses of Wales. Rather than trying to overshadow the Queen (who could on an occasion like that), I thought Diana made an effort to express her respect for both their positions. It was too bad no one seemed to get it.
