Millennium & Copthorne Hotels are giving free tickets away to the �Diana, Princess of Wales by Mario Testino� exhibition now being staged at Kensington Palace.
The offer applies to visitors staying two or more nights on a �Weekends Away� break in any of their five London 4-star hotels.
The exhibition features photographs of the Princess, many of which are being shown in public for the very first time. All of the images were taken by the world-famous photographer in 1997, a project that turned out to be the last official portrait photography of the Princess. For the occasion she wore gowns that were later famously auctioned for charity in New York. Nine of the auctioned gowns, including four worn for the photo-shoot, will be united with the images on display.
Mario Testino, designer Patrick Kinmonth and the curators of Kensington Palace have teamed up to create an exhibition which celebrates the unique contribution of Diana, Princess of Wales to the social history of the nation and her place at the heart of Kensington Palace.
All Millennium & Copthorne�s London Hotels are within easy reach of Kensington Palace and bookings should be made, quoting �Testino Exhibition� on 0845 30 20001. The offer applies to all �Weekends Away� bookings of 2 or more nights (Friday and Sunday). The exhibition is open each day until 1 July 2007 (closed 24 � 26 December).
