Final photoshoot of Britain's princess Diana on show

Wed Nov 23, 9:15 AM ET

LONDON (AFP) - Candid, poignant and provocative, 15 pictures of the late Diana, princess of Wales,

taken in her final photoshoot by photographer Mario Testino, are going on display at her former Kensington Palace home.

Seven of the images are previously unseen and were taken just months before she died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

In four specially redecorated rooms at the central London palace, Diana's image is everywhere thanks to Testino's photographs.

Laid on a white canape, or trying a dance step, her face lowered, a smile on her lips: on each of the 15 portraits shown,

the princess shows a different side to her personality.

"It was a magic day", the Peruvian photographer told AFP of the day Diana posed for him in February 1997 at Kensington Palace, Diana's official residence after her divorce from heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles.

"Some people just have that magic. Diana had the beauty, the kindness and the elegance, and that's this mixture that

made her mythical," he explained.

Still the most popular face on royal souvenirs some eight years after her death, Diana is on the path to becoming eternal.

Every August 31, on the anniversary of her death, hundreds of flower bouquets, poems and messages are left

at the palace gates.

"It would be pretentious to say that I immortalised her," said Testino, also famous for his photographs of US pop singer Madonna and Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow.

"I just captured the moment."

Remaining tight-lipped about the details of the fashion shoot with Diana, Testino let slip how he got the princess into

"the moment".

To relax his subject, "I made a fool of myself. That day, I just put on some music, a disco version of a 1970s song

by Dalida, and I danced. But she told me she couldn't dance like me.

"'I'm not Peruvian!', she said."

Shown alongside nine dresses worn by Diana, five of which were used in the Testino shoot, the pictures stand out

in the heart of the sombre palace at the west end of London's Hyde Park.

Thanks to a helping hand from Patrick Kinmonth, an opera designer, Testino has completely redecorated the exhibition

rooms with canary yellow, white, steel grey and silver.

On a plasma screen, Diana's face passes by in pictures taken by Testino.

Everything has been worked out, even down to the furniture, created especially by the British furniture maker

Thomas Messel.

Throughout the exhibition, the shadow of the princess is unavoidable.

The exhibition, entitled "Diana, Princess of Wales, by Mario Testino", runs from November 24 to May 2007.
