    Richard conceived the idea to create a high-quality calendar honouring the life of the late HRH Diana, Princess of Wales, collaborating with esteemed Royal Photographers. The project aimed to support a Memorial Fund established in her memory. At an event at the Ivy Restaurant in London, he impulsively shared his vision with Paul Burrell, her private Butler. Twenty months later, Centurion obtained a license from the Fund to produce the calendar, with proceeds benefiting the cause. It was a profound honour for Richard to contribute to such a meaningful initiative, paying tribute to the late HRH Princess of Wales, whom he deeply admired. Richard negotiated several advertising partnerships, including one with family friend Richard Desmond at OK Magazine. The project garnered significant press coverage, notably from the Daily Mail, which dedicated a double-page spread to the initiative. Richard also had the privilege of meeting HRH at a British Red Cross event in London, an experience he cherishes deeply. This project stands as one of the most fulfilling and emotionally resonant endeavours Richard has ever undertaken, involving collaboration with national press and raising funds for a profoundly impactful cause.
