a Royal says photographer Princess Diana “showed her mood by the way she dressed”.
Anwar Hussein was one of Diana's most trusted royal photographers and spent years covering the late princess in both her public and private life.
He now shows his work in the Princess Diana: accredited access exhibition at St Katharine Docks. The exhibition will feature some of the most iconic photographs, including the famous revenge dress worn at the 1994 Vanity Fair party.
The exhibition will also include photos of Diana dressed, including wearing Virgin Atlantic clothing while walking through Chelsea Harbor in 1995 and a polka dot shirt and pencil skirt in 1983.
The photos include two photos of Diana when she was pregnant with Princes William and Harry. In both shots, she wears a relaxed pastel outfit, The Telegraph reports.
The first photo – which showed Diana in a soft blue dress standing in front of then-Prince Charles' Aston Martin – was taken in May 1982, less than a month before William was born.
While the second – which features Diana wearing pink at the Cirencester Polo Club – was taken in June 1984 when she was pregnant with Harry.
The exhibition, which has already been shown in the United States, Australia and Canada, also includes photographs taken by Anwar's sons Samir and Zak Hussein.
“The exhibition tells our whole history, our career, how much time we spent on it and obviously my father concentrated on photographing the royal family for decades and now that we are taking over it is a great family legacy,” said Zak.
Anwar, 86, says Diana changed the way the royal family interacted with the public, introducing things like shaking hands, which had previously been considered taboo.
He believes Diana has “absolutely” influenced the way the royal family behaves, especially how the current Princess of Wales faces the crowd.
Anwar said: “She was such a pioneer and really broke the mold for the royal family in many ways, including what she wore.”
Princess Diana: Accredited Access runs until September 2 and includes a unique audio tour, narrated by both Zak and Samir, to accompany the experience.
