Richmond, Virginia, will serve as the backdrop for a special event honoring the enduring legacy of Princess Diana, scheduled just before the 28th anniversary of her passing. The gathering promises to offer an intimate glimpse into her world, featuring her personal hairdresser and the founder of The Princess Diana Museum.
The event is set for 1 p.m. on Saturday, August 30, at the Dominion Energy Center’s Bob and Mooney Hall, located at 600 E. Grace Street. Doors will open an hour earlier, at noon, to welcome attendees. The program will include insights from Richard Dalton, a renowned hairstylist who served as Princess Diana’s personal hairdresser for over a decade, alongside Renae Plant, founder of The Princess Diana Museum.
Both speakers will share stories from their new book, “It’s All About the Hair: My Decade with Diana, H.R.H. Princess of Wales,” revealing untold anecdotes and personal memories from Dalton’s time with the princess.
Following the discussion, guests will have the opportunity to meet the authors during a book signing session. Copies will be available for purchase at $55, with options for pre-orders to guarantee a copy on the event day.
A highlight of the event will be the display of the famed “Falcon dress,” a custom-made cream silk crepe gown embroidered with intricate details, designed by Catherine Walker for Princess Diana’s 1986 Gulf Tour. Dalton was reportedly the only person to witness her wearing this gown, and pages from the book will detail that moment.
Refreshments will be provided to attendees, making it a comprehensive celebration of Princess Diana’s influence and style.
For further details and to purchase tickets, interested individuals are encouraged to visit the official website of the Dominion Energy Center.
This event offers a rare opportunity for fans and admirers to connect with the history and personal stories of one of the most beloved figures of the 20th century, reaffirming her lasting impact on generations worldwide.
