Younger generations unfortunately will not understand how larger than life Princess Diana really was and it would be difficult to describe.

There are numerous books that discuss her great efforts in the AIDS situation, drug abuse, land mine efforts, poverty, and homelessness. She never stopped bringing attention to the world’s problems and offering solutions through her charity work even after she was no longer the Princess.

Princess Diana was a great person and should be remembered as such. She has been called the “People’s Princess” for many good reasons. She was a school teacher, a nanny, a philanthropist, a spokesperson for the world and a member of the elite royal family. She never forgot her roots, her people or her children. I recommend that every one learn more about her life so they can strive to achieve in their lives what she had taught by example.

The available books (on Amazon.com) include interviews with other celebrities (in their own voices!) describing their associations with Princess Diana. Some famous friends include Tony Blair, Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, Speaker of the House, famous actors and many others.

It is very interesting to see today in Afghanistan that they are talking on TV about land mines and actually covering in great detail the problem surrounding those land mines. Even more interesting was to watch as many land mine sweepers were loaded onto trains in the US and sent over there to help. It seems many of the things we do today and think about on a social level can be attributed to Princess Diana’s short life but great efforts.
