Diana, Princess of Wales — direct descendant of Mary Boleyn Stafford, sister of Queen Anne Boleyn — tragically died 25 years ago today.

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 — murdered in a Paris tunnel, chased by the paparazzi in a car driven by a drunk man.

Twenty five years later, Diana, Princess of Wales, mother of two Dukes — 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.
