Exclusive to this stop on the tour, the Reagan Library adds to the international collection by pairing Princess Diana's artifacts with items from President and Mrs. Reagan’s archival collection. This one-of-a-kind pairing tells the story of the Princess of Wales and the enduring transatlantic bond between the U.S. and the U.K. It brings together iconic dresses and personal treasures from Princess Diana and Nancy Reagan, highlighting how each used their global platform to champion humanitarian work, shape fashion history, inspire millions, and leave a lasting influence on modern culture.
