The late Princess Diana's "revenge dress" went on display in London on Friday (September 18) ahead of being auctioned later this year with a price estimate of $150,000 - $300,000. Diana wore the black silk off-the-shoulder dress by designer Christina Stambolian on a June evening in 1994, the same night the then Prince Charles, from whom she was separated, admitted on television he had committed adultery during their marriage. Humiliated by her husband's affair with Camilla, who he went on to marry in 2005, Diana opted for an outfit which she'd had in her wardrobe for years.

The dress became known as the "revenge dress" and is one of Diana's most famous outfits.

It is being offered for auction for the first time since 1997 when Diana sold it - alongside other dresses - to help raise money for AIDS and cancer charities. Part of the proceeds of this sale will go to the NHS Lothian Charity on behalf of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, Sotheby's said. The dress goes on display days after new claims about King Charles's reaction to Diana's death in August 1997, as the shadow cast over the royal family by the so-called "people's princess" lingers nearly 30 years on.

The dress is on display at Sotheby's London until next week. It will then be shown in Hong Kong, Geneva and New York, where it will be of offered for sale on December 9 during Sotheby's Luxury Week of auctions.

00:00Very soon, guys.
00:42Thank you very much for joining us.
01:02This race was born by Princess Diana on the 29th of June 1994.
01:08On that special night, we knew that and she was aware that Prince Charles would admit
01:14publicly that he had an affair.
01:16So we can imagine it's a night where she had to decide whether I go and what do I wear.
01:23So she decided to wear something that would make her look the most beautiful, the most
01:27powerful and she decided to use her outfit, her dress, to express where she wanted to
01:33be, what she wanted to say.
01:35In that sense, it's probably the first time that someone has used fashion to communicate
01:41something emotional, not just a situation or a dress that is appropriate to a circumstance.
01:47It's about saying something to the world, saying that she's taking back the narrative,
01:53she's here and she stands up for herself.
02:00Aidan played in pretty much in an atmosphere.
02:02Once she says that, she's kind of thinking about her home, and people think that how all
02:13Sh Doubt said that she had had really read him through a decision while she was watching Oritzville.

02:56How to do, or lighting, or is everything okay?
03:00That's okay.
03:00Hold that.
03:01The other side.
03:03Don't go anywhere.
03:05Don't let go of that ground.
03:13Can you make it through the other side?
03:14Right on the shoulder bit.
03:17That's okay.
03:26And put your head more to your left.
