The dress, designed by Elizabeth Emanuel, is one of the most iconic wedding gowns in history. The elaborate white gown notably features 'thousands of pearls, silk layers and a 25-ft train', reported Daily Telegraph.

Most recently, the gown was exhibited twice a year at Althorp, the Spencer family estate, as part of an exhibit called 'Diana: A Celebration'.

Harry will also receive 10 million pounds from his mother's estate upon turning 30, which will be placed in a family trust. His older brother also received an inheritance on his 30th birthday in 2012.
