Princess Diana's wedding dress designer Elizabeth Emmanuel has said that the late British royal was not nervous on her wedding day to Prince Charles.
Speaking on Saturday With Miriam, the designer said: "I think there was so much going on in the lead-up to the wedding, she was quite laid back. On the day she was so relaxed and took it in her stride."
She said that the princess had lost a lot of weight before her wedding day which meant that the pattern of the dress had to be redesigned and it made it difficult.

Emmanuel recalled being asked to design the dress. "I remember clearly, I was in the middle of a fitting with another bride and the phone just kept ringing and I thought somebody else could go and get it.
"So I answered the phone "yes hello" and Diana was on the phone and she said will you please design my wedding dress? She said you will have to keep it a secret."
She added, "There was no confidentiality agreements at that time and we were all in it alone. Princess Diana and her mother came to see them and we discussed ideas."
Asked how she feels about Diana 20 years on from her death, Emmanuel said: "She was fun, she laughed a lot. It was such a joy to work with her. It was a wonderful time."
