It will be impossible to escape the mention of Diana, Princess of Wales on this day, so we may as well embrace the influx of books, documentaries and memories on the 20th anniversary of her death. Remembering Diana: A Life in Photographs is one such book and is a beautiful hardcover book with plenty of images of Diana. The photos are accompanied by an introduction by Tina Brown who is also the author of The Diana Chronicles (2007).
Although the book is lovely and has many photos that I had not seen, I found myself quite annoyed with the end where the Duchess of Cambridge is included. It seems she will never be able to escape comparison to her famous mother-in-law, despite never having met her and her inclusion seems silly and not necessary.
Remembering Diana: A Life in Photographs is available now in both the UK and the US.
