Princess Diana knew exactly when people started falling in love with her. In a 2017 Netflix documentary “The Story Of Diana,” royal historian Dr. Kate Williams said that even as a young girl, the Princess of Wales already realized that she was loved by everyone.

“She was one of those children that goes into the room and everyone is charmed by her,” the source said.

However, Princess Diana’s younger brother, Charles Spencer, said that it would be wrong to depict the mom of two as a saintly child. After all, Prince Charles’ ex-wife was quite naughty, and she usually pushed boundaries. But despite his revelation, Spencer still said that his older sister deserves a place in history so that people who are aged 35 years old or younger could remember that she was special.

Jess Cagle, the editor of People magazine, also said that the public tends to feel a real connection with celebrities and public figures who they see grow and evolve. “We certainly watched Diana grow from this very shy young woman who was marrying the Prince to being this global powerhouse superstar,” the source said. “We watched an incredible evolution.”

One of Princess Diana’s most memorable deeds was when she shook hands with someone who has been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS during her visit at the London Messex Hospital. At that time, Princess Diana was photographed shaking hands with a man and without her gloves on. This move challenged the notion that HIV/AIDS could be passed from person to person through touch. Spencer said that his older sister was not really a gloves person because Princess Diana took human contact seriously.

Prince William and Prince Harry’s mom sadly passed away on Aug. 31, 1997, following a fatal car crash in Paris. Even though she’s been dead for more than two decades, the public still remembers her clearly. In fact, her sons even pay tribute to her almost every day of their lives. Prince Harry, who is expecting her first child with Meghan Markle this month, is rumored to name their baby Diana if they will have a baby girl.
