LONDON - An exhibit of photographs, film footage and other memorabilia
from the life of Diana, Princess of Wales will go on display Saturday at
the palace where she lived.

Called "Diana: A Princess Remembered," the exhibit is the largest
collection of images of the princess to date, organizers said. It opens
with a photograph of the princess as a toddler and follows her through
her marriage to Prince Charles. Diana died in August, 1997, after the car
in which she was a passenger crashed in a Paris tunnel.

The exhibit, at Kensington Palace, opens on the eve of what would have
been the princess' 46th birthday and just two months before the 10th
anniversary of her death.

Exhibitions featuring Diana have been held at Kensington Palace in the
past, including a collection of her dresses and photographs from her
famous photo shoot with fashion photographer Mario Testino.

"This is a more formal exhibition," said Sarah Watson, spokeswoman for
Historic Royal Palaces, which is organizing the show. "It brings together
previous exhibits and tells the story of her life."

The exhibition focuses on four themes: Diana the princess, Diana the
mother, Diana the fashion icon and Diana the humanitarian. Video
interviews with various people who worked with the princess are also
featured.

Visitors can see the exhibition from July 30 through the beginning of
January 2008. Entry to the exhibit is included in the admission price to
Kensington Palace.
