It has been precisely 25 years since Diana, Princess of Wales, passed away. But her charitable work and campaigning (not to mention the cycling shorts) continue today.
On August 31, 1997, Diana, 36, died from injuries she incurred in a vehicle accident in Paris, which also claimed the lives of her friend Dodi Fayed and the driver, Henri Paul.
Her sons also blame the BBC for the role its bombshell 1995 interview — obtained through a scheme of forgery and deceit — played in her death.
About ten years later, a jury determined that her death resulted from reckless driving on the part of her chauffeur and the paparazzi who were pursuing them.

The so-called “people’s princess” enjoyed widespread popularity. She also completely altered how people perceive celebrities,
She said that in the modern era, “we simply take it for granted that famous people will also serve as U.N. special envoys or that they’ll utilise their power to do good.”
Princess Diana, who was incredibly radical, is credited with creating the concept of the well-known person who does good.
Diana was once associated with more than 100 charities and utilised her prominence to promote various charitable causes and issues.
She travelled through minefields in Bosnia and Angola to promote the removal of landmines, visited leprosy patients in
Nepal, India, and Zimbabwe, and opened Britain’s first AIDS ward in London, where she famously shook hands without gloves with a patient to disprove the myth that HIV/AIDS could spread by casual touch.
While visiting a paediatric AIDS unit in Harlem, New York, Diana made news of cuddling a little sufferer.
“She was an activist at a period when AIDS and HIV were so stigmatised,” Mamata added. “The person who entered AIDS wards and declared,
“No, I’m going to talk to folks like they’re normal human beings,” is also the one. I’m going to shake your hand, talk with you, and elevate your consciousness.”
At Middlesex Hospital in London on April 19, 1987, Diana, Princess of Wales, shakes hands with a person living with unnamed 32-year-old AIDS in the patient’s private room.
The ward was established to provide care for people with AIDS and HIV.
Stated Mamata. “The person who entered AIDS wards and declared, “No, I’m going to talk to folks like they’re normal human beings,” is also the one.
I will shake your hand, talk with you, and elevate your consciousness.”

The late British historian Ben Pimlott predicted Diana would be remembered for her public work and bringing new life to the monarchy in an interview with Morning Edition shortly after Diana’s passing.
She was “extremely amusing, clever, sharp, human with a fantastic rapport and a great sympathy,” in his words.
Even decades after her passing, the public is still fascinated with Diana’s life, especially her tumultuous marriage to Prince Charles and how the royal family treated her.
Her narrative has recently been adapted for both the big screen and streaming services; Emma Corrin portrays her in Netflix’s The Crown, while Kristen Stewart portrays her in the movie Spencer.
At Kensington Palace, Princes William and Harry unveiled a statue honouring Diana on the anniversary of her 60th birthday in July of last year.
And only last weekend, a Ford Escort driven by Diana in the 1980s brought more than $850,000 at auction.
Princess Diana, played by Kristen Stewart in “Spencer,” clings to the truth to live.
On Wednesday, the anniversary day, mourners gathered in Paris to pay their respects on the bridge above the underpass where Diana was killed by placing flowers, writing inscriptions, and leaving other mementoes.
Others embellished a temporary monument in front of Kensington Palace’s gates. Additionally, the flag was flown at half-staff at Althorp House, the Spencer estate where Diana was raised.
