"This summer we’re welcoming you back to #KensingtonPalace in royal style," they captioned a video. "Step into the rarefied world of the atelier, and see the wedding dress of Diana, Princess of Wales up close as part of our new exhibition exploring the intimate relationship between fashion designer and royal client."
