Already hailed as one of the “Top 12 Immersive Experiences Around the World You Need to Visit” by CNN, this exhibition has already seen sold-out shows in Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, and Puerto Rico. Since its launch in 2021, it has become a fan-favourite event, earning recognition in People Magazine, Access Hollywood, and the LA Times, along with an impressive guest rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars.
For the first time in Australia, Anwar Hussein, along with his sons Samir and Zak, will provide firsthand accounts of the stories behind Princess Diana’s world-famous moments and her family through a comprehensive audio guide.
Accredited by the Royal Family, the Hussein family constitutes the longest-standing Official Royal Photographers, with a combined experience of over four decades working closely with the iconic Princess and her family. They were granted unique access to document the Royals both in public appearances and during more intimate, private moments.
Anwar is renowned for reshaping public perceptions of the Royal Family through his focus on candid photographs that capture the humanity of his subjects, moving away from the historically formal portrait style. Following in their father’s footsteps, Samir and Zak have continued the legacy by capturing the lives of Diana’s sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, earning themselves multiple awards and a reputation as renowned photographers.
