After Princess Diana's death in 1997, world leaders paid tribute to her memory:

How many times shall we remember her, in how many different ways, with the sick, the dying, with children, with the needy? When with just a look or a gesture that spoke so much more than words she would reveal to all of us the depth of her compassion and her humanity... She was the people's princess, and that is how she will stay, how she will remain, in our hearts and in our memories forever. - Tony Blair, prime minister of Great Britain

With the tragic death of Princess Diana, a beacon of light has been extinguished. Her good works brought hope to so many of those in need throughout the world. - Margaret Thatcher, former prime minister of Great Britain

She was a very great friend, in love with the poor. She was very anxious to do something for them. - Mother Teresa of Calcutta

She was a young woman of our times -- warm, full of life and generosity. Her tragic death will be deeply felt because she was a familiar figure to everyone. - Jacques Chirac, president of France

With her personal charisma, her courage, and above all her impressive engagement in an array of humanitarian causes, she won over the people in our country. - Roman Herzog, president of Germany

Many exceptional projects that touched the lives of ordinary people have been put into practice in Russia with her direct participation. - Boris Yeltsin, president of Russia

Diana, Princess of Wales touched all our lives in Scotland, as elsewhere in the country. She had so much energy and idealism.

How Diana Can Save Lives Today
Princess Diana died because she was not wearing her seat belt. After her fatal accident, I discussed seat belts with several people and was surprised by what they said. "You don't need a seat belt if you're riding in the back seat," one person told me. Others said they didn't wear seat belts at all -- and didn't make their children wear them -- because "when it's your time to go, it's your time to go."

But it wasn't Princess Diana's time to go, and sitting in the back seat didn't save her life. Experts say she could have survived if she had been wearing her seat belt. Of the four people in that car, only one wore a seat belt, and he was the only one who survived.

According to the World Health Organization, more than one million people died in traffic accidents in the year 2000 alone. If all the people who admire Princess Diana made a point of wearing seat belts for her sake -- and encouraged their children to wear them -- countless lives would be saved. Wouldn't Princess Diana want to be remembered this way?

Answer 2

Where to start. She represented dozens of charities including those that represented the homeless, those afflicted with AIDS, people affected by the aftermath of war, landmines, numerous childrens charities. She also loved the arts such as music, opera, and in particular the ballet and often participated in events that recognized the talent and achievement of others. Diana was one of the first high profile celebrities to touch a person suffering from leprosy and AIDS, which seems simple now, but in the 80s and early 90s there were still a lot of prejudices. She traveled to Bosnia to talk to veterans and children in the aftermath of the civil war and traveled all over Africa comforting children who had lost their parents to AIDS. She was a champion when it came to the care of orphans both in the UK and around the world. In the years before her death, she published a documentary about the perils of landmines throughout the world and the destruction that they cause. She even strapped on a flack jackets and walked through a mine field learning how mines are detected and disarmed. People loved her because she genuinely seemed to care, always had a beautiful smile, and a kind touch or hug for the people most in need of affection!

Answer 4

Princess Di had great style. As far as women in the public eye go she made great choices in her clothing and always looked elegant no matter what the occasion. She will always be remembered for her simple elegant style.

She died while attempting to get away from paparazzi and brought public attention to the plight of women, or anyone, who has ever been stalked by individuals or groups. Though it is true that celebraties by nature of having better financial means than most others of us are at an advantage in that they can hire security people to protect them and their families from some types of stalking attacks. Still, tragedy came to princess Di.

Answer 5

As far as the royal family goes, she gave birth to the heir the the throne. One of the most important things she was working on before her death was her anti-landmine cause. She brought attention to the fact that after wars, all over the globe, millions of unexploded landmines are left behind. Often these mines are often "found" by children playing or farmers going out to work their fields- killing many, and leaving the rest without their arms/ legs. She was bringing attention to this tragedy, and was working to
1) try to ban landmine use
2) bringing attention and raising funds for de-mining operations
3) helping raise funds to provide prosthetic limbs for those who are victims of landmines left behind after wars.

Answer 6

Answer 7

She popularized that feathered hairstyle back in the 80's.
