In that photograph there are no smiles to the crowd. There is only one woman sitting alone on the trampoline of a yacht, unaware of being observed once again.
On August 24, 1997, just a week before his death, Princess Diana was off Portofino aboard the yacht *Jonikal*, during a holiday with Dodi Al Fayed.
In those days the paparazzi continued to follow her in every move, even in the most private moments.
This is how one of the most famous images of the last days of his life was taken.
Diana is portrayed alone, sitting on the trampoline of the boat, immersed in her own thoughts. Over the years, that snap has assumed a meaning that goes beyond simple photography.
For many that shot became the symbol of the price paid by a woman who, despite being one of the most known people in the world, still sought normal spaces far from the objectives.
His story has fueled for decades a debate on the relationship between celebrities, the right to privacy and pressure exerted by the media towards public characters.
After so many years, that image continues to be remembered not only for what it shows.
But for what he says, in silence.
Because, sometimes, a photograph manages to enclose, in just an instant, all the fragility of a person who the world had learned to see above all as an icon.
