This August will mark the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death. Throughout the year, Prince William and Prince Harry have organized a series of projects to honor their mother’s memory. Recently, Kensington Palace unveiled a garden dedicated to the late Princess of Wales. A statue of the Princess is also being erected on the property next month.
But now, Kensington Palace has announced a special exhibition as well. “There will be a special display at the Summer Opening of #BuckinghamPalace as a tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales,” its official Tweet read. The tribute in question will be a display that shows the many ways in which Diana worked to serve the Queen. The cornerstone of the exhibition will be Diana’s desk, which will showcase many of her objects that Prince William and Prince Harry have personally selected.
Framed photographs of her children and a compressive tape collection will be some of the most poignant items present. A Cartier calendar that was a gift from President Reagan will also be on display, as will a pair of ballet shoes, which Diana actually used. Additional items will include Diana’s school trunk, typewriter, enamel boxes, leather briefcase, and blue blotter, according to the official announcement. A fitting tribute, it seems, to show off the hard work of one exceptional woman.
