Sep 1 2022 - Diana Always With Us

 

Diana is buried on an island in a lake on Althorp's grounds.  That's the princess's childhood home.  People remember where they were when they heard the news.  This year on the 25th anniversary of her death, there are even more tributes.  Blooms and pictures of Lady Diana adorned the gold-leaf-covered Flame of Liberty in Paris which has become her unofficial memorial.

She is said to be the most photographed woman by the press in history, so we are left with unending pictures of her from 25 years ago. Remembering Diana in pictures is very easy to do, especially with the spectacular wardrobe.  

At the opposite end of things, when I looked up who is the most photographed man in the world, the first listing says Donald Trump - with 463,574 images on Getty alone.  Next is Pope John Paul II.   What a contrast they both provide to the beauty and grace of Diana.  


What does the Guinness Book of Records have on file for most photographed people.  Supposedly it is the pop group TVXQ.   This extract below is reported from a few sources. It  doesn't actually come from the official site.  I thought you'd enjoy it anyway:

"Idol group TVXQ put its name on the Guinness World Record Book for the second time. The super hot quintet was listed in the world record book as the most photographed celebrity in the world. From the day of their debut to March 19, 2009, the five members are estimated to have been photographed about 500 million times in magazines, albums jackets, and commercials, etc. The total figure includes individual photos as well as group pictures. "

The answer to that claim:
"Extremely unlikely.  That would mean that they would be having 175,000 pictures taken of them every day of the year for each of the 8 years since they started.  Probably including cell phone snaps in concerts and such ... which many other bands would exceed many times."
