Synopsis

Kirsty Young's castaway is the lawyer and writer Anthony Julius.

He was already renowned in legal circles when, in 1996, he moved into the public arena, representing Princess Diana in her divorce. He became her confidante and, after her death, one of the founders of her memorial fund.

Of the high profile cases he has fought, he says. 'You're on a higher wire, stared at by a larger number of people, but in the end, the only audience that matters is your own client.'

Record: The Promise of Living, Aaron Copland
Book: Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy
Luxury: San Pellegrino water on tap.
