Harper’s Bazaar report Anya Hindmarch, 50, said: “We used to laugh when we designed what she called her ‘cleavage bags,’ little satin clutches which she would cover her cleavage with when she stepped out of cars.”

Many photos of Diana getting out of cars show her putting the trick to use.

On 26 October 1995 Diana was seem leaving her car at the premier of the film ‘Haunted’ in London.

She wore a blue dress by Catherine Walker and held a blue satin clutch in front of her chest.

Diana did similar in 1 July 1997, her birthday, holding a black bag in front of her.

The Princess of Wales may well have learnt the hard way.

In December 1990 she wore a yellow jacket and black dress.

Without a clutch bag her cleavage was left a little exposed.
