...pages of Debrett's Peerage are no strangers to the pages of TIME. In the past 58 years, regal faces have appeared on 79 covers; Britain's Prince Charles was our subject in 1969 and 1978. For this week's cover story on his betrothed, Lady Diana Spencer, London Bureau Chief Bonnie Angelo concentrated on the former World's Most Eligible Bachelor. Angelo's first experience as a royalty watcher dates back to 1957, when she covered Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's visit to Canada and Washington. This time she found herself sitting...

...debut might not have been so smashing an event without a young husband-and-wife fashion design team who have established a veddy select salon in Mayfair. David Emanuel, 28, and Elizabeth, 27, have made clothes for Lady Diana before and will make her wedding gown. They, and she, both obviously like the young, with-it look that she projects.
