Princess Diana was one of the most iconic and renowned figures of the 20th Century. Her extravagant and extraordinary life not only humanized the pre-existing notions around the British Monarchy, but it also created a revolutionary movement solely dedicated towards the welfare of the community.
On 31st August, 1997, when Diana, Princess of Wales, met with a tragic accident and died at a young age of 36, it not only left the entire nation in a state of shock, but also lead to a global outpour of grief and mourning. It was during this time, when the then British Prime Minister Tony Blair famously referred to Princess Diana as “the people’s princess”. And looking back at the humanitarian legacy she’s left behind, it is only fair to say that she truly lived up to the title she earned upon her death.
That being said, here are all the iconic instances from her life that helped her connect with her people and made her the “People’s Princess” in its true sense.
