Remembering Princess Diana
Remembering Princess Diana
It’s been over 20 years since Princess Diana’s tragic car accident in Paris. Millions mourned around the globe. The beloved princess, who was only 36 at the time of her death, would have turned 57 on July 1 of this year. Although her life was cut far too short, she left an enduring impact on the royal family and the world. Her greatest legacies, of course, are her sons. In 1995 she said, “I don’t go by a rule book, because I lead from the heart, not the head, and albeit that’s got me into trouble in my work, I understand that. But someone’s got to go out there and love people and show it.”
Here, we celebrate the darling royal in some of her finest moments captured on film.
