The picture shows Princess Diana, who died in 1997 at age 36, appearing “reserved, stoic and looking away from the viewer,” according to the curators at Historic Royal Palaces. The former Princess of Wales is said to have chosen the photographer for his “bold minimalism” and was part of her hope to establish a new photographic identity for herself.
“For me, it is the most powerful of images from the sitting,” said curator Claudia Acott Williams.
