Some of the most unforgettable photos of Princess Diana, such as her “revenge dress” that broke royal protocol and her handshake with an AIDS patient that changed the way the world treated those with the illness, have gone on display in a new exhibition in London.
The exhibition, which is being held at Dockside Vaults just north of London’s Tower Bridge and runs from May 25 to September 2, traces Diana’s life as a humanitarian, a mother and a fashion icon. It displays a carefully curated selection of work by renowned royal photographer Anwar Hussein, 85, who started snapping Diana when she was 19. “At first, some told me ‘you can’t do pictures of royals,’” Anwar told CNN ahead of the exhibition’s launch. “I said, ‘why not? I want a change.
” Over the years, Anwar and his sons have taken hundreds of thousands of photos of the royal family. There is one word, however, which seems to encapsulate the images on display: legacy. “We didn’t want to be controversial. We wanted it to be a celebration of Diana’s life and her legacy,” he said. “We’ve had ‘The Crown,’ we’ve had films about Diana, so it feels like there is a whole new generation experiencing it.
