Diana: A Princess Remembered

LONDON, June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- A new exhibition celebrating the life of Diana, Princess of Wales will open at her former home, Kensington Palace, on June 30, 2007. Marking Diana's life as princess, mother, fashion icon and humanitarian, the exhibition features over two hundred photographs, alongside film footage. The exhibition will run until the beginning of January 2008.

Diana: a Princess remembered is an audiovisual exhibition drawing on memorable moments in the life of the Princess. Beginning with the teenage girl, then as a blushing bride, the exhibition follows her growth into a sophisticated princess and dedicated mother, internationally respected and admired as much for her beauty as for tireless work for charities.

Hundreds of photographs have been brought together with television footage and interviews with people who knew the Princess of Wales personally. These include designers, photographers and representatives from some of the many charities Diana supported. The exhibition represents the largest collection of images of Princess Diana on public display in this anniversary year.

The tour finishes with a set of stunning portraits of the Princess of Wales by Mario Testino, and an interview with the photographer in which he tells the story of one of Diana's most famous photo shoots. A selection of Diana's dresses, which raised a staggering $5.7 million for charitable causes when auctioned, is also displayed.
