Omg, I totally forgot she dated brown dudes and that actually does explain Harry's historical romances with women of a darker tone. Never put the dots together till now, thank you!
When she visited the U.S., New York specifically, she made a deliberate effort to go to the childrenās AIDS ward at Harlem Hospital and made an effort to hug and touch those children at a time when the stigma around AIDS, specifically for people of color, was such that there were plenty (if not a majority) of even the most progressive white people in America who wouldnāt have a) gone to Harlem at all, b) hugged a black kid, c) had close physical contact with a person with AIDS.
Diana did all 3 with the utmost of style and grace.
She treated people with AIDS with respect and compassion. That was at a time when people were scared of AIDS, wouldnāt even eat off dishes that had been used and washed if they suspected the person had AIDS. She was like a beacon showing the way. Not to mention the literal land mines.
I remember dressing up as Princess Diana for a school project in 6th grade because she was (still is) my hero. I even got the opportunity to visit Kensington Palace in London in 2023.
Her funeral was on my birthday in 7th grade. It was an awful way to start the school year.
I loved Princess Diana, everybody did. She was a wonderful person.
She's one of the few public figures in history (and in the world in her life time) that you'd be hard pressed to find anything legitimately negitive about her.
She was treated terribly, but she was extremely resilient. She was/is peak white woman.
She was by no means anybody's Saint, however, she showed compassion and she showed love in areas of the world and in society that the average man, let alone the royal family, would ever express.
I have a huge poster of her framed in my home. I am by no means a super fan or know everything about her (not even a lot) but I know enough that she inspires me to be as beautiful of a person on the inside as she presented herself.
There was a Diana commemorative coin being shilled just before her death and I happened to work for the company that took their orders. I was in the break room when the news broke and I immediately started crying. 1 because I was sad that she was probably going to pass and 2 because I knew our queue would be jammed for the next three months.
Going to preface this story by stating that I am fully Team Diana:
I was at the club with friends dancing when one of them ran up to me yelling "OMG OMG I just heard Pavarotti killed Princess Di!!!" It took a few back and forths to clarify he meant paparazzi and not "the three tenors guy" š
Victoria Elizabeth treated her like trash. Charles treated her like trash. The press also didn't help much and yeah they sometimes treated her like trash.
And she did do things to buck Buckingham because of her mistreatment.
She loved her kids tho raised them with love and slaps on their ass when necessary. She was also a pioneer in the fight against AIDS. She was someone that put her money where her mouth was, and championed several causes. They called her The People's Princess because of how she treated others, with lots of compassion, but also her admission that she was very very human.
Also she loved who she loved, brown or not and I'm sure that infuriated some folks.
Diana was only a year older than I am, so I remember it all from the time she got engaged and had to put up with Dr's checking her out to ensure she was pure, to her death.
I don't cry for famous people, I don't know those folks. I cried watching her funeral though, but a lot of us did.
The press also didn't help much and yeah they sometimes treated her like trash.
Not just sometimes, she was hounded 24/7 even before the divorce. What sent her son Harry off the rails was that he grew up being told nothing could be done about it, then fast forward to the present and the press put out some articles about Prince William's wife, all it took was a phone call from Charles' office and they stepped back, he realized they could've just done the same for his mom but never really cared to
She used her fame and fortune to bring awareness and aid to many social and political issues, especially those concerning POC and the queer community. A great example was her work to ban land mines which was responsible for many deaths in Africa. Another good example was her frequent visits to HIV clinics, even hugging AIDS patients at a time where there was a lot of misinformation saying that you could contract the virus through physical touch. And in addition she was notoriously down to earth; breaking royal protocall to run a race at Harry's school, hugging strangers when royals were only suppose to wave and smile. She was beautiful inside and out.
Her death is one of the many 90s events that those of us born in the mid-80s remember vividly. She was surrounded by people who looked like they were children playing dress up to pretend they were important but she approached everything in a different way. She made it seem like everyone she approached was important to her, there was just a different level of kindness that she put out there that defied everything we saw from royalty. It's awful how she was treated and how her life ended
Diana was for the people in a time where that was much less popular imo. She was a genuine soul and that seemed to come through everything she did. Itās no wonder they had her killed she was far too pure for the Royal Family and honestly western politics.
It was something you had to be there for. My mom got up at 4am or whatever ungodly hour to watch the royal wedding between her and Charles. Diana was just that girl. And she used her platform to help others, even at great personal cost to herself. Unlike the other royals, she didnāt have a problem being around black people and was extremely down to earth and kind. Folks were devastated when she died.
This is like the challenger disaster. If you weren't there to experience it then you don't know how insane it affected everyone. Like she was called The People's Princess for a reason.
If you ask anyone gen x or older about her they'll get this far away look in their eyes and smile just a bit
She was progressive AF. She spoke out against misinformation during the AIDS epidemic. She also commingled with patients with AIDS during a time in which AIDS was believed to be transmitted via touch.
She was the first and only of her kind, in that family. They killed her for wanting to be loved, and finding it with brown men, and so cry baby Charles could marry frumpy old Camilla.
She had her flaws assuredly but she was one of those people who, although in a position of power and wealth, could visibly make a human connection with all sorts of people-especially vulnerable people like AIDS patients.
She really was special. So beautiful inside and out. The first to be outspoken and honest about the monarchy. She was raked over the coals by the press and called crazy. It was truly a tragedy when she died just when she was forging a new happier path.
I remember like it was yesterday my mom crying like she lost a sister in front of the TV š¢ she was loved. Now Harry is the only one who has her kind spirit. I'm glad he and Meghan escaped. Don't down vote me William and Kate's fan, I'm just stating the truth š
Definitely a flashbulb moment in my life. I was 9 and found out at church. I was so taken aback I interrupted the poor kid who was doing our prayer in Sunday school š
It's me, I'm the auntie... I was 4 and she comprises some of my earliest memories. It was the start of things going wrong in the world, first Selena then her, it just all started going downhill from there... dot com bubble, Aaliyah, 9/11, Katrina, 08 Market Crash, Covid... present day
Despite being royal and born with a silver spoon, she connected with ordinary people. She never acted like she was above anyone. Plus, her ex and his family did her dirty. Ultimately, her light shined brighter than all of them put together, and they hated her for it. Thatās something a lot of women identify with.
I only learned about her as an adult after she had long passed, I also wondered why people loved her so much and watched a documentaryā¦ then became obsessed and couldnāt believe she had gone already. Such a beautiful soul.
I was 15 when she died and she was the first famous person that I cried over. She didn't deserve what the royal family did to her. I'm not a foreign auntie, though, I just wanted to share that unfun fact.
She was by all accounts a wonderful person. She was very approachable, down to earth, woman of the people.
Fuck Prince Charles, King Charles, whatever that cunt calls himself these days.
Personally I like "Diana's ex husband".
Cunt Charles the first.Ā
Well Charles the first was a cunt, Charles the second was also a cunt.
This is Cunt Charles the third of his name.
Chucko the Crown
Some might say the People's Princess.

This is a bot
You had to be there but she did her thing and died after falling in love with two (one after the other) brown skinned men.
And her son is carrying on her legacy
Omg, I totally forgot she dated brown dudes and that actually does explain Harry's historical romances with women of a darker tone. Never put the dots together till now, thank you!
Tf are you talking about!? Please tell me youāre joking.

NGL, I was there and she certainly was amazing. She was an amazing soul.
She treated people with AIDS with respect and compassion. That was at a time when people were scared of AIDS, wouldnāt even eat off dishes that had been used and washed if they suspected the person had AIDS. She was like a beacon showing the way. Not to mention the literal land mines.
This is what my Godmom tells be most about her. That's where her respect came about for her.
Thatās funny itās my Godmom who was in love with her too! She was torn to pieces when that lady died. Just torn! lol.
Certainly explains why those in power hated her so much.
Lady was universally loved, my mom still gets worked up about her passing.
Oh, I can definitely vouch for this. My mom still isnāt over it!
I had the Lady Diana haircut all through my childhood thanks to her full blown obsession. š
But honestlyā¦ Princess Diana really was stunning, inside and out. ā¤ļø
I remember dressing up as Princess Diana for a school project in 6th grade because she was (still is) my hero. I even got the opportunity to visit Kensington Palace in London in 2023.
My ma has commemorative plates of her pride of place in the cabinets. Diana gets top billing not even the photos of her grandchildren š
Same. My mom cries whenever a program about her comes on tv.
Her funeral was on my birthday in 7th grade. It was an awful way to start the school year.
I loved Princess Diana, everybody did. She was a wonderful person.

God bless her children and grandchildren.
What does peak white woman mean?
Anti Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Itās one of my āI knew exactly where I was whenā¦ā life moments. What a loss.

And also the fact that her driver was drunk was quashed for many years
Victoria who?
My brain picked the wrong queen...lol Changed, so thank you for this.
Oh haha you went waaaay back in time.Ā
She was the peopleās princess and that inbred family of pedophile freaks killed her.

My mom had a whole Princess Diana coffee table book that sat there for YEARS.
My grandma too!

My mom lost it when the news broke
My DOMINICAN MOTHER was upset about her passing
Not her coming to you in a dream speaking Arabic, lmao. Habibi ...
Habibti stay strong
Fucking lost it.
lol im jealous

Imagine all the good work she could have done in the meantime. She was almost saint-like in her compassion. Her passing definitely left a hole.
She was more of a saint than Mother Teresa (who died on the same day)
lol, if this isn't my Jamaican mother
Not just Immigrants. She .. was the sweetest woman .
She was progressive AF. She spoke out against misinformation during the AIDS epidemic. She also commingled with patients with AIDS during a time in which AIDS was believed to be transmitted via touch.
RIP her but thank you everyone in this thread for making me feel young lol
Auntie is me...I am auntie šš
My mom is an immigrant from Mexico and she loves her lol

Who isn't obsessed with her? She was the People's Princess for a reason?
No one in this thread mentioning that she was a sign of defiance to women feeling trapped in situations all over the world.
she wore a kurta once. that did it for me
Princess in name. Queen in our hearts š
Damn, my sister is named after her. š
Because she was literally the best princess and we all witnessed how her ex-husband and royal family very publicly did her wrong!Ā
on the day she died, my father walked into the house and said, "my friend died today."
She really was special. So beautiful inside and out. The first to be outspoken and honest about the monarchy. She was raked over the coals by the press and called crazy. It was truly a tragedy when she died just when she was forging a new happier path.

She was very kind and horribly treated, possibly killed, by the royal family.
Ugh I hate to āwell actuallyā but Diana was much more complicated than popular memory allows.
She no doubt got screwed by the Royals, and did commendable and incredible charity work. But she was very much a ādifficult womanā.
That makes me like her more. I LIKE difficult women much more than saintly women
Highly recommend the āYouāre Wrong Aboutā series on her.
.
Definitely a flashbulb moment in my life. I was 9 and found out at church. I was so taken aback I interrupted the poor kid who was doing our prayer in Sunday school š
šš¤£š He aināt lying, they were upset.
The love for princess Diana is universalā¦.. Except for king Charles.
Iām white (so sorry if Iām intruding) and my mom stayed in bed for 2 days after it was announced Diana died. We didnāt even know she liked her?
Princess Diana was truly an amazing person
The OG parasocial relationship
This is true but my mom wasn't lying, we really are related to the husband and kids.
It's me, I'm the auntie... I was 4 and she comprises some of my earliest memories. It was the start of things going wrong in the world, first Selena then her, it just all started going downhill from there... dot com bubble, Aaliyah, 9/11, Katrina, 08 Market Crash, Covid... present day
Although I was born in 94 I had a deep DEEP love for princess Diana lmaooo she might as well been my sister too ššššš

I only learned about her as an adult after she had long passed, I also wondered why people loved her so much and watched a documentaryā¦ then became obsessed and couldnāt believe she had gone already. Such a beautiful soul.
The clue lies in a whitney houston song. "And di, will always, love you"
Ooooohhhh, this is all immigrant mothers, I thought it was only South AsiansĀ
I remember my babysitter at the time made us sit down and watch her funeral. She cried the entire time.
Diana traveled to Africa more than most in that sphere, right?
Pretty sure she was a huge advocate
I was 15 when she died and she was the first famous person that I cried over. She didn't deserve what the royal family did to her. I'm not a foreign auntie, though, I just wanted to share that unfun fact.
Diana was like modern day Jesus Christ.
I've always thought it was all a bit over the top.
There wasnāt that much media to choose from back then and this was one of like 5 things people could talk about.
Um whoās aunties?
Somali people lol,Ā
