Princess Diana was not known as “The People’s Princess” just because it was a catchy moniker for her.
No, she became an essential person for the British to draw on and be inspired by through her charity efforts and compassion.
As she famously declared, she didn’t intend to be the Queen on paper but rather the Queen in people’s hearts.
Her death was caused by a catastrophic accident in Paris, which is one of the most devastating occurrences in contemporary British history. Princess Diana’s legacy remains on to this day, not just via her sons William and Harry, but most importantly, in people’s hearts. We’ve seen a lot of wonderful Diana photos throughout the years, but some of them haven’t gotten quite as much attention.
Princess Diana died at a young age, and her life was plagued by many challenges and tribulations. Unfortunately, she was followed everywhere and had a rough private life after joining the royal family. Princess Diana was responsible for the upbringing of Harry and William.
Despite everything, Diana was a caring mother. She always put William and Harry first because the mother-of-two wanted her children to have as normal a childhood as possible.
Princess Diana frequently took William and Harry to amusement parks and other pleasant places. Of course, she was aware of what royal life meant, such as having food provided to them at all times and being expected to behave like perfect royal children.
She was also aware of the necessity of giving William and Harry the opportunity to be like any other youngster. She would slip them out of the palace to get fast food with this in mind.
“I remember the princess came into the kitchen one day and said, ‘Cancel lunch for the boys, I’m taking them out, we’re going to McDonald’s,” Diana’s former personal chef Darren McGrady told Marie Claire. “And I said to your Royal Highness, ‘Oh my God – your Royal Highness, I can do that, I can do burgers.’” ‘No, it’s the toy they want,’ she replied.
Naturally, William and Harry enjoyed spending time with their mother. She raised them to be just like any other child, which they were in many ways!
