Julia was never employed by the British court, she was just a dedicated photographer in the crowd who managed to get closer to Princess Diana than most people.
“I have no idea what her secret was, but I do know that meeting her was something that people never forgot,” Julia explains. “For a few special moments she made ordinary people feel extraordinary, and that was a remarkable skill.”
Naturally, Julia was devastated after hearing about Diana’s death. It was a sorrow she shared with the world at large.
“As the hearse taking the princess on her final journey passed on its way back down The Mall single flowers were thrown into its path and as it disappeared from view, with roses on the roof and carnations strewn in the road behind it, Diana was gone for the last time,” Julia recalls. “What a sad fairytale that had turned into.”
