It was 36 years ago today that Lady Diana Spencer stepped onto the world stage as a shy 19 year-old teenager, clinging to the arm of Prince Charles as they announced their engagement. For that momentous occasion - one that propelled her to become one of the most famous women in the world, almost overnight - Diana had popped to Harrods to pick up a cobalt blue skirt suit by the little-known British label Cojana, which co-ordinated with her sapphire and diamond engagement ring.
