Diana, Princess Of Wales

Inside Princess Diana's last portrait session. Just five months before her
tragic death in August 1997, Diana Princess of Wales was photographed by
Mario Testino for Vanity Fair. The book brings together the most beautiful

relaxation and intimacy unlike any other. The selection of about seventy

published images, fill in the untold story of the shoot? Also included is

as well as a contribution from Hamish Bowles, European editor-at-large of
American Vogue. The book is edited by Patrick Kinmonth, long-term
collaborator and friend of Testino's. It includes foreword by Meredith
Etherington-Smith, who played a mayor role in arranging the sitting in
1997, and a testino interview conducted by Hamish Bowles, and contribution
by Hamish Bowles. Chapters are arranged according to the various dresses
worn by Diana. It includes an appendix with information detailing the
dresses featured in the Work and identifying those on display at Kensington
Palace.
