No, Diana did was not Her Royal Highness at the time of her death. Her HRH title had been taken away after the divorce from Charles and her title was changed to Diana, Princess of Wales whereas before she was HRH The Princess of Wales.

Under British law, men who are male-line members of the royal family third in descent from a monarch or less are entitled to the style "Royal Highness," and also any women whose father was first or second in descent. For men, their wives may have the title as well. Women take the name of their spouses, such as The Duchess of Kent, daughter of Queen Victoria.
Diana was entitled to the style "Royal Highness" during her marriage to Prince Charles. However, upon their divorce, she was stripped of her style "Royal Highness." She was known only as Diana, Princess of Wales. The "Princess of Wales" appellation is similar to a divorced woman keeping her married name, and permitted under British law.

No she lost the title HRH when they divorced. She was Diana Princess of Wales. I liked what the press called her, THE QUEEN OF HEARTS the best.

She had to give up the HRH, but was allowed to keep the Princess of Wales title out of respect for her being the mother of the heir and the spare.

Her HRH status was taken from her on her divorce ,
It was a bitter pill for her to swallow .
She remained The Princess of Wales
Mother of the heirs to the throne
And the Queen of Hearts to many

No, her courtesy title of Her Royal Highness was removed upon her divorce from Prince Charles. She was still styled Diana, Princess of Wales though and that would only have changed if she had remarried whereupon she would have taken her new husband's name or title if he had one.

No, both She and Sarah are neither "HRH" since their divorces. They were still called "The Princess of Wales" and "The Duchess of York" but neither ACTUALLY WERE. IF Diana was still alive when Charles married Camilla, Camilla automatically became the Princess of Wales on her Marriage to Charles (she chooses not to use it, probably out of fear of being compared to Diana). Diana would still be called, Diana Princess of Wales, but that would BE HER NAME, not her TITLE. The same with Sarah Duchess of York if Prince Andrew remarried to someone else. She would be Sarah, Duchess of York (but it would be her name, not her title) while Andrews new wife would be the ACTUAL Duchess of York!
Most of the European royalty though Diana was VERY mistreated as heir to the future King of England, after her divorce.

No her title was taken away from her, an affectionate name for her at the time was Queen of Hearts.
