As one of the best-loved members of the royal family, who dedicated herself to philanthropic causes and became a style icon to boot, there’s little danger of Princess Diana being forgotten. In 1991, however, she decided to plant a few extra mementos as part of a time capsule project – which, in the light of her untimely death six years later, took on an extra degree of poignancy.

That time capsule, buried by the Princess at Great Ormond Street Hospital more than 30 years ago, has now been unearthed in the process of redevelopment to create a new Children’s Cancer Centre. Diana, who became president of the hospital in 1989 and visited numerous times over her life, helped children to select the items which would be buried within the capsule – and the result is an eye-opening window onto Nineties culture and life.
