Think of Princess Diana, and a few images probably immediately spring to mind. The princess on a yacht diving board in a turquoise swimsuit, legs dangling over the edge as she stares out to sea; the princess in her off-the-shoulder, Christina Stambolian “revenge dress”, arguably the most famous LBD of all time; the princess photographed by David Bailey in 1988, the black and white portrait striking in its minimalism, her side profile so particular you could trace it with one finger. Indeed, photos of the late royal aren’t rare – in the ’90s, she was one of the most photographed women alive, and now her photos are everywhere on the internet – but there are a few that stand out, that capture the Princess of Wales’s kindness and spirit, or else style and natural elegance.

Many of the most memorable snaps of Princess Diana were also more than just that; she was known for images that made an impact: a photo of her shaking hands with an AIDS patient in London, for example, helped destigmatise the disease, while a picture of her walking through a landmine field in Angola helped to raise global awareness for a pressing human rights issue. In 1985, Princess Diana was pictured dancing with Royal Ballet dancer Wayne Sleep to “Uptown Girl”, cementing her as a person who valued playfulness and vivacity over the rigid royal conventions of yore.

To that end, below, we revisit some of the most significant photographs ever taken of the late Princess of Wales.
