Magic Moments

To mark the tenth anniversary of that tragic night in Paris, London based publisher Richard de Clare of Niche Publications is proud to announce the publication of "Magic Moments: The Life of an Icon in Pictures", a unique collection of images of Diana by the legendary Fleet Street photographer Steve Wood.Gathered together for the first time, each one of these one hundred and fifty five photographs captures the haunting essence of Diana and Steve Wood was on hand throughout her all too brief life to record the extraordinary journey which Diana undertook, from shy school assistant to Princess of Wales to international style icon.From their first encounter on the doorstep of that famous flat in London's Earl's Court, a deep and enduring rapport united Diana and Wood, for twenty years Royal photographer for the "Daily Express".For Diana, Wood was much more than a member of the Royal Press Pack.

He was a loyal friend and it was to his photographs that Diana turned each morning, it was his camera she chose to tell her story.Here is Diana in all her bewitching moods; the bashful young beauty, the dazzling royal bride, the devoted mother, the Princess with the common touch, charming pensioners and Presidents alike. And when the magic of the fairytale romance began to fade and Diana had to face the future as a royal divorcee and yet the mother of the future king, Steve Wood was once again by her side, using his camera to help her forge a new identity."Magic Moments" is Wood's personal tribute to a remarkable life.

Diana lives on in these pages, the People's Princess continues to touch all our hearts and "Magic Moments" is a fitting testimony to what she meant to millions of people around the world.
