On this day, 25 years ago, the world mourned the loss of Princess Diana. While there may not be large-scale public commemorations, her legacy continues to shine brightly, particularly through the work of her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.
Princess Diana was renowned for using her platform to champion those less fortunate. Her commitment went beyond simple gestures; it involved dedicated effort, often requiring personal risk. In a time when supporting charities wasn’t as simple as sending a tweet, she tirelessly brought attention to causes she was passionate about, leaving an indelible mark on the world.
The anniversary inevitably brings to light the current relationship between her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, and the reported rift between them. While the dynamics of their relationship have evolved over the years, it’s important to remember the period following Harry’s marriage to Meghan Markle. In 2017 and 2018, they were widely seen as a united front, warmly embraced by both the Royal family and the public.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s subsequent departure from royal duties undoubtedly shifted the dynamic within the family. However, the Royal family’s public image continues to be shaped by a multitude of factors, some more negative than others. While the departure of Harry and Meghan was significant, it is just one element within a much larger picture.
