Financial Times: The Diary

I was recently commissioned by the Financial Times to provide an image for their weekly Diary piece that features in the Life and Arts weekend supplement. This particular diary piece was written by british writer and historian Simon Sebag Montefiore prior to the release of his new book Jerusalem.
The image that I have put together from this amusing piece was where Simon describes how he delivered a letter to Buckingham Palace on behalf of the Estonian Royalist Party inviting Prince Edward to become their monarch, and how Princess Diana had actually been their first choice before they switched to Prince Edward.
In my image I show the hand holding the Estonian letter addressed to Prince Edward being given to a Butler at Buckingham Palace. In the Background the Prince looks curiously towards the exchange, this curiosity is echoed by a wide eyed portrait of Princess Diana that hangs on a nearby wall.
