1 July 1961 to 31 August 1997
Those of us old enough to know, all know. As clearly as we recall our wedding day or the birth of our first child, we recall exactly where we were and just what we were doing when we heard the horrible news — you know, that news. Diana, Princess of Wales, was dead. Just like that she was killed — murdered we all concluded — in a Paris tunnel, chased by the paparazzi in a car driven by a drunk man. The truth stung, deep.
Twenty years later, Diana, Princess of Wales, mother of two Princes — one the future King of England, fashion icon, philanthropist, staunch advocate of the downtrodden, open book, and public servant, remains our People’s Princess. As the world commemorates the memory of Diana today, let us all commit to celebrating her legacy by following her example.
