Bambi pulls you into a fantasy world as Princess Diana becomes Mary Poppins, floating down from the sky with her umbrella and carpet bag to meet her grandchildren, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Diana's carpet bag is from Harrods in recognition of Dodi al Fayed.
Bambi says I believe in this world with a sprinkling of fairy dust anything is possible, and dreams can come true.
Inspired by Prince William in a recent interview saying how sad he is that his mother never met her grandchildren and how much she would have loved them, Bambi adds If Di were here today you know she would be whispering to them Be As Naughty As You Want¦ Just Don't Get Caught .
Bambi is the pseudonym of a contemporary British street artist.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ETRXN9 - Jenners Department Store, now known simply as Jenners, is a department store located in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was the oldest independent department store in Scotland until its acquisition by House of Fraser in 2005
Jenners has maintained its position on Edinburgh's Princes Street since 1838 when it was founded by Charles Jenner and Charles Kennington and known as Kennington & Jenner. The store was run for many years by the Douglas-Miller family, who were descendants of James Kennedy, who took charge of Jenners in 1881.
The original buildings that formed the department store were destroyed by fire in 1892, and in 1893 the Scottish architect William Hamilton Beattie was appointed to design the new store which subsequently opened in 1895.[2] This new building is designated as a category A listed building,[3] and it is noted by the statutory listing that, at Charles Jenner's insistence, the building's caryatids were intended 'to show symbolically that women are the support of the house'. The new store included many technical innovations such as electric lighting and hydraulic lifts.
Known as the Harrods of the North, it has held a Royal Warrant since 1911, and was visited by Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of its 150th anniversary in 1988.
In 2004 it changed its vision statement from its goal to be the most exciting department store outside of London to Confidently Independent. The store made national news in 2007 when it publicised that it would stop selling pate de foie gras, following a boycott by the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DJ7B63 - Night-time editorial view of the Harvey Nichols flagship store in Knightsbridge, London, with the illuminated Knightsbridge Underground station sign dominating the foreground and the famous Harvey Nichols lettering glowing on the building behind. The image captures one of London's best known luxury retail locations on Knightsbridge, close to Brompton Road, Harrods and other prestige shopping streets, in the affluent West London district long associated with designer fashion, beauty, dining and international visitors. Founded in 1831, Harvey Nichols became one of Britain's most recognisable upmarket department store brands, with its Knightsbridge store serving as the historic flagship and corporate base. In August 2026 the business became a major UK retail story when Mike Ashley's Frasers Group stepped in with a rescue takeover after Harvey Nichols fell into administration, securing the chain's stores, staff and online operations in a pre-pack transaction. Frasers chief executive Michael Murray said the business would undergo restructuring and a review of its store portfolio, organisation and operating model as part of the turnaround. While the Knightsbridge flagship is widely seen as the jewel in the estate, the deal marked a significant period of uncertainty and change for the wider chain. This scene therefore illustrates more than a familiar London shopping landmark. It also reflects a moment of transition in British luxury retail, as heritage department stores face intense operating costs, changing consumer habits, reduced discretionary spending and growing online competition. The deep blue dusk sky, electric Underground signage, lit windows and city-centre architecture create a dramatic urban evening image of Knightsbridge at a significant moment in the Harvey Nichols story.

Jenners Department Store, now known simply as Jenners, is a department store located in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was the oldest independent department store in Scotland until its acquisition by House of Fraser in 2005.
Jenners has maintained its position on Edinburgh's Princes Street since 1838 when it was founded by Charles Jenner and Charles Kennington and known as Kennington & Jenner. The store was run for many years by the Douglas-Miller family, who were descendants of James Kennedy, who took charge of Jenners in 1881.
The original buildings that formed the department store were destroyed by fire in 1892, and in 1893 the Scottish architect William Hamilton Beattie was appointed to design the new store which subsequently opened in 1895. This new building is designated as a category A listed building, and it is noted by the statutory listing that, at Charles Jenner's insistence, the building's caryatids were intended 'to show symbolically that women are the support of the house'. The new store included many technical innovations such as electric lighting and hydraulic lifts
