Some iconic portraits of Princess Diana have come home.

The pictures, including her famous moment in front of India’s Taj Mahal, are displayed along with the stories behind the photos in a new exhibition in London.

The show, which kicked off in three U.S. cities in 2023, and includes 75 life-size prints, has come to Diana’s home city to the delight of three photographers from one family.

Anwar Hussein took some of the most famous images of the late princess during a decades-long career as a photographer. His sons Samir and Zak have followed in his footsteps to take images of today’s royal family – with some of their favorite shots of Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle included in the show too.

The trio have collectively spent over four decades working side-by-side with the Princess and her family. Their show, Princess Diana: Accredited Access Exhibition is an immersive, “walk-through" 60-minute experience and includes complimentary access to the audio guide.

“[London] is where Diana lived and so many of the iconic photos of Princess Diana were taken here," Samir – whose image of King Charles was issued by Buckingham Palace at his cancer announcement — tells PEOPLE. "From her wedding, to the births of William and Harry to key style moments such as the revenge dress.”

“We’re excited people in London can now hear the stories behind them. Seeing these photos displayed and celebrating her legacy will be extra special for all of us.”

“It really means a lot to all of the family to have our pictures on show [here]," adds Zak. "Although a global star, Diana does have a special place in the hearts of the British people and my dad is honestly so proud to have his amazing pictures of Diana displayed alongside mine and Sam’s pictures of the younger royals.”

When the show opened in the U.S. Anwar told PEOPLE, "I saw every side of Diana. She was a genuine, good human being."

"You could see her go from Shy Di, looking down, to becoming stronger — which she had to do. She wanted to prove she was brave enough to do what she wanted.”

Samir adds, “We show how Diana’s humanitarian side has passed into her sons.”

“What works so well about the exhibition is that we’re able to juxtapose two generations of Diana and her sons and the photos my father took of Diana and us of the younger Royals.”
