LONDON (AP) – The onetime husband and wife team who designed Princess Diana´s wedding dress have settled their dispute over the sale of the drawings for the gown.
David Emanuel had filed a lawsuit in the U.K. courts against his ex-wife Elizabeth Emanuel, claiming that she had infringed his copyright by reproducing drawings of the designs on which they had collaborated. The drawings, including those for Diana´s wedding dress, were put up for auction without his consent, he said.
The pair announced Friday that they had settled the case “amicably.” Terms of the settlement weren´t released.
Diana´s dress, created for her 1981 wedding to the Prince of Wales, was an iconic creation that will always be associated with the late princess. It was a time when big was in, and Diana walked down the aisle of St. Paul´s Cathedral draped in yards of lace with a 25-foot train flowing behind her.
