Celebrate Diana’s Legacy: An Exclusive Afternoon with Her Hairdresser & Princess Diana Museum Founder
About this Event

Step Into Royal History: An Exclusive Afternoon with Princess Diana’s Personal Hairdresser, Richard Dalton and The Princess Diana Museum Founder, Renae Plant to celebrate Diana’s life and legacy on the 28th anniversary of her passing.

[Richmond, VA, August 30, 2025 @ Doors Open at 12 Noon starts at 1pm] – Fans of the late Princess Diana are invited to a unique and intimate event celebrating the life and legacy of the People’s Princess on Diana's 28th anniversary of her passing. Richard Dalton, world-renowned hair stylist and personal hairdresser to Princess Diana for over ten years, will join Renae Plant, founder of The Princess Diana Museum and The Princess & The Platypus Foundation, for a special afternoon filled with stories, memories, royal charm and a very special “Falcon Dress”.

The event will take place at The Carpenter Theater, Mooney Hall, starting at 1:00 PM, promising an unforgettable experience as Dalton and Plant share insights from their brand-new book, It’s All About the Hair: My Decade with Diana, H.R.H. Princess of Wales. This stunning 444-page hardcover coffee table book offers readers an exclusive look behind the scenes of royal life through untold stories and personal recollections from Richard Dalton’s decade-long journey with Diana.

Attendees will have the rare chance to hear firsthand accounts from Dalton, who styled the Princess’s iconic looks, and Plant, who has dedicated her life to preserving Diana’s legacy. Following the talk, a book signing will be held where guests can meet the authors and purchase their own copy of the book for $55, with pre-orders available to secure a copy on the day of the event.

Renae will also bring the “Falcon Dress,” a custom cream silk crepe embroidered evening gown designed by Catherine Walker for Princess Diana’s 1986 Gulf Tour. Richard was the only person to see her wearing it and will be sharing pages from the book that document this very special moment. In addition she will bring the “Black Sheep Sweater” which Diana famously wore in 1983 which has never been seen in public before.

“This event is a heartfelt tribute to Princess Diana’s enduring influence and the personal moments that shaped her public image,” said Renae Plant. “We’re excited to offer fans a unique glimpse into her life through stories that haven’t been shared before.”

Guests will enjoy delightful refreshments and the opportunity to mingle with fellow admirers in an atmosphere fit for royalty. This exclusive gathering promises to be a memorable celebration honoring one of the most beloved figures of our time.
