Is Diana’s legacy still alive?
What was it about Diana, Princess of Wales, that brought such huge numbers of people from all walks of life literally to their knees after her death in 1997? What was her special appeal, not just to British subjects but also to people the world over?
No one can deny that Diana was beautiful in a fresh-faced, English, outdoors-girl kind of way. Diana’s big blue eyes could melt the hearts of men and women through an expression of vulnerability. Please don’t hurt me, they seemed to say. Moreover, she became well known for her support of charity projects, and is given considerable credit for her campaigning against the use of landmines and diminishing the stigma associated with AIDS. Added to this, her sudden and tragic death has turned Diana into a legacy.
In a discussion on Diana’s legacy, Nguyen Van Mai shows her great adoration towards Diana.
Personally speaking, I love and admire Princess Diana for her personality and what she has done to our world. Diana was named the 'Jewel in the Crown' of the Royal Family. It is not too proud to say that without her, the Royal family has definitely lost their glory. I love Diana for her simple personality that made her become so popular. "She touched the people's hearts and entered their souls". Do you agree that good people like that are so rare in this world? Nice things will never last too long.
Diana has also been an interesting topic for books and articles. Some books are really tribute to her. Some are just an intervention in her privacy. Below is Hoang Chi Mai’s short review on the book “Diana: her true story” by Andrew Morton.
Basically, it's her biography, written sometime before hers and Charles' divorce. I was especially touched by the chapter on her relationship with the royal family, a precarious condition at best. Before reading it, I hadn't paid any attention to Diana at all, even though that was the year after her death. Learning of the many trials that she had had to endure and her amazing accomplishments made me forever in awe of the great lady.
According to the book, Diana did in fact attempt suicide: she threw herself down a flight of stairs after a particularly nasty argument with Charles. I felt the most for her during the period succeeding the royal wedding, when she suffered terribly from bulimia nervosa and post-natal depression.
Although her life might be a tragedy, it has been remembered and honored. Diana will still be an icon for British royal family as celebrity who devoted her life to charity.
