Princess Diana

On July 1st 2020 the late Princess of Wales
Diana, would have been celebrating her 59th
birthday. Although she is not present physically
in this world, but even after her tragic death 22
years ago, her legacy is still present. While
Diana was a member of the British Royal Family,
she got the title of the peoples princess
because of her emphatic and expressive nature.
She always engaged herself for the greater good
of society by giving attention to noble causes
that were often overlooked. She even once said
If I am going to have cameras pointed at me the
whole time, I might as well use all this
publicity for good.

There are several noble causes she gave her heart
to and became the Queen of Hearts. Some of these
are as follows HIV/AIDS When HIV/AIDS virus
first began spreading its wings in April 1987,
the Queen of Hearts, Diana launched the first
exclusive ward solely dedicated to AIDS patients
in London Middlesex Hospital, Britain. The
highlight of her visit was her famous image of
shaking hands with an AIDS patient without even
wearing gloves. This move of her was meant for
debunking the popular misconception on the
transmission of the HIV virus via touch. In the
following years, she even visited sick children
and patients in hospitals including a hostel for
abandoned children in Rio de Janeiro and a
hospice in Toronto. Leprosy The Queen of
Hearts, Diana also focused on eradicating the
stigma that surrounded leprosy by visiting to the
countries with high leprosy rates. She visited
the patients in various hospitals for raising
awareness about the disease that it does not
spread by touch.

Banning Landmines Princess Diana also stood firm
and strongly advocated against landmines. Her
passion towards the cause made her visit an
active minefield in Angola to learn how de-miners
clear away explosives. She put her life at risk
to share her views on the cause. After her trip
122 government representatives congregated in
Ottawa and agreed upon the anti-personnel
landmines. Her efforts were cited in the second
reading of the Landmines Bill in 1998 by Robin
Cook, Former British Foreign Secretary to
acknowledge her contribution. Currently, her son
Prince Harry is the patron of leading landmine
charity, The HALO Trust taking her legacy ahead.
The aim of the organization is to make the world
weapon free by 2025. Charities for Homeless
Princess Diana used to make frequent visits to
the charity centre, Centrepoint until her death
in 1997. Despite of the fact that she had royal
upbringing, she communicated with the homeless
and forsaken effortlessly. She even interacted
with rough sleepers on the streets. Performing
Arts Diana was an avid dancer and dedicated her
time in The English National Ballet, which was
the only non-humanitarian charity organization
she put her efforts in. She used to grace her
presence often at extravagant events such as
fundraising galas to help the organization.
