I'm not at KP this time, but I certainly have been remembering Diana  today. Beautiful, kind, charitable, sweet. She will always be THE Princess of Wales so far as I'm concerned. Gone much too soon.

I was young when she passed away. And I didn't read practically anything about her or the royal family until about 2017. So i'm relatively new I guess.

My impression is that she was a considerate, charitable, thoughtful, intelligent woman that could have done anything with her time but used it to try to help instead. She was not perfect, but then again no one is. And I find the criticism of her not balanced or nuanced, and sometimes veering on the absurd and outrageous.

It's always sad when someone passes away so young. I hope that people remember her for the good that she did, and that she's at peace.

My thoughts are also with prince William and prince Harry who lost a mother much to soon, which must have been awful. And I find it admirable that they haved coped with it.

She had a special gift; she resonated with people, especially the sick, the very young, and the vulnerable.  She was also a wonderful mother. She was denied knowing her grandchildren in this life, but I'll bet she is looking down and loving them just the same.

@oak_and_cedar - I hope that RIF will be a place that you can find more information about the late Diana, Princess of Wales. I'm sure that @sandy, @Trudie, @Curryong and others can suggest various biographies that they've enjoyed reading over the years.

You're welcome. @oak_and_cedar.

It's been years since I've read one of the Diana biographies so I might want to reread them  again.
