8. Diana Was a Member of More Than 100 Charities
Princess Diana spent the vast majority of her time working with over 100 charities around the world. This is why she earned the nickname “The People’s Princess” because it was clear that she truly cared about normal people. Unfortunately, this charity work got her into some trouble with members of the royal family, especially when she began to fly overseas to help people in need. Some believed that this was taking too strong of a political stance on certain issues, but she completely ignored their advice.
Her two sons William and Harry were often brought with her on these trips. This taught them a sense of humility and the joy of charity work. Even as an adult, Prince William still found joy in helping people, which is why he worked as an EMT helicopter pilot. Prince Harry also still passionately helps to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS. After she passed away, her two sons continued to help with contributing to the many charities that Princess Diana once did.
