David, who has just released his new book, Look Again, also opened up about what the late Princess of Wales was like on set. "She [was] a nice middle class girl." He then quipped: "Her hair was terrible. Didn't have much posture as well."

On his impressive credentials, he told Jonathan Ross: "I just have a good time and make them have a good time I guess. I never had anyone horrible [to photograph]. Can't think of anyone horrible. I did everyone from the Krays to the Queen."
David then revealed why he enjoyed working with the Queen so much, he said: "Her humour. The twinkle in her eye. She's a special person." He continued: "You judge people when you meet them. I like Maggie Thatcher. Everyone hates her [but] I thought she was alright."
"I never have any ideas. I just wait and see what happens. If people are in a bad mood, I like it, in a good mood, I like it. If they're in a bad mood I keep them in it, be a bit rude to them."
