Named one of the “Top 12 Immersive Experiences Around the World You Need to Visit” by CNN, the exhibit has sold out in Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, and Puerto Rico. Since launching in 2021, it has become a fan-favourite event, being featured in People Magazine, Access Hollywood as well as the LA Times and has accumulated a 4.9 out of 5-star guest rating.
For the first time in Australia, Anwar Hussein and his sons Samir and Zak, share their first-hand accounts of the stories behind the world-famous moments of Princess Diana and her family, through an in-depth audio guide.
Accredited by the Royal Family, the Hussein’s make up the longest standing family of Official Royal Photographers, having collectively spent over four decades working side-by-side with the iconic Princess and her family. They received special access to document the lives of the Royals in public, as well as capturing more intimate, private moments.

Anwar is notable for changing perceptions of the Royal Family through his work with a focus on casual photographs that capture humanity, instead of historically more formal portrait photography. Samir and Zak followed their father’s footsteps into royal photography by capturing the lives of Diana’s sons Prince William and Prince Harry, and now are multi-award winning and renowned photographers themselves.
