The only official portrait of Diana, this was commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery at the time of her engagement to Prince Charles, in 1981. Set in the privacy of the Yellow Drawing Room in Buckingham Palace, this portrait formally identifies her with the Palace.
The painting was slashed with a knife by an Irish student five weeks after being unveiled.
Lady Diana Spencer (1961-1997), also known as the Princess of Wales, was the first wife of Prince Charles. They married in 1981.
