The bridal gown Princess Diana wore when she wed Britain's Prince Charles in 1981 is set to be handed over to her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, 17 years after her death.

It's understood Diana stipulated in her will that the silk and taffeta lace dress, designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, should be given to her boys once her youngest, Prince Harry, turns 30.

Harry will reach the age milestone on September 15.

The iconic outfit, which featured 10,000 pearls and boasted a 7.62-metre train, has been in the possession of the late princess' brother, Charles Spencer, since Diana died in a car crash in Paris, France in 1997.

He previously used it as the centrepiece of the Spencer family museum at Althorp in Northamptonshire, England, where it remained on display for over 10 years from 1998.

Most recently, the gown has been touring the world as part of a travelling exhibition.

The news comes after it was recently reported that Prince Harry is to inherit STG10 million ($A18.25 million) from his mother when he turns 30.

His brother, Prince William, received his share of Dianna's inheritance in 2008.
