DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES
1961 - 1997
31st of August, 1997
On the 31st of August, 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales (otherwise known as Princess Diana) suffered fatal injuries in a car accident in Paris, France and died later that day. In light of the event, newspapers and magazines all over the world have decided to remember Diana's heroic actions and remind the public what an amazing person she was.
What Made Her A Hero?
Children
Diana had a passion for children ever since she was young, working as a nanny until her marriage, and she continued to help children with disabilities and illnesses as she got older.
Charity
Diana was constantly donating to charity and attending charity functions, helping out at medical events and much more. This also included helping bring international awareness to HIV Aids and victims of landmines in Angola.
Kindness
Diana was also known as 'the People's Princess', because she was constantly interacting and being kind to almost everyone she came across. She was always open with herself and didn't keep much from the public.
Diana was constantly taking part in charity functions, including helping out at hospitals or visiting people with disabilities. She was constantly supporting anything and anyone that she felt could benefit from her support, whether a charity, person or cause. She used her position as the Princess of Wales to bring international awareness to these things and it could be argued she was unprecedentedly successful in what she aimed to do.
It could certainly be argued that Diana was a hero for England and the Royal Family. For most western countries and those of the British Commonwealth, such as England, Canada and Australia, she would have been seen as a hero because of how kind she was to people and how she used her position to bring attention to the disadvantaged.
