Diana, Princess of Wales
Fifteen iconographic images taken by Mario Testino of the late Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997 formed the main part of an exhibition that opened at Kensington Palace in 2005. The photographs Testino initially shot for Vanity Fair turned out to be the last official portraits taken of the Princess before her untimely death the same year.
“Photographing Diana, Princess of Wales for Vanity Fair in 1997 was one of the most memorable days of my career. I am honoured to have been asked to show some of the photographs from that day in surroundings as unique as Kensington Palace and design the rooms that pictures and dresses are to be exhibited. I hope that the design will reflect my respect and admiration for her in this light celebration of her life.” – Mario Testino
