Helping people
As a princess, she became well-known for her support of humanitarian causes. She campaigned against the use of landmines, a cause which
won the Nobel Prize in 1997. She influenced the signing of the Ottawa Treaty which banned the use of anti-personnel landmines.
Secret hospital visits
Diana courageously helped to fight discrimination against AIDS victims. She also made clandestine visits to hospitals. According to nurses, she
would turn up unannounced with specific instructions that her visit was to be concealed from the media.
Her Legacy lives on
Diana’s commitment to helping people led to the establishment of the Diana Memorial Award, for youths who demonstrate unselfish devotion
to causes. In 2002, Diana was ranked 3rd in the 100 Greatest Britons in history poll, outranking countless British monarchs.

Diana Frances Spencer was only six when her parents split up. She
always remembered the crunch of her mother’s departing footsteps on
the gravel drive. The children became pawns in a bitter custody dispute. Eventually
Diana’s mother took her two youngest children to live in an apartment in London. That Christmas, the children went to celebrate
Christmas with their father, and afterward he refused to allow them to return to their mother in London.
Dreams and odd jobs
Diana excelled in swimming and diving and longed to be a ballerina, but at 5’10” was too tall for such a career. Diana begged her parents
to allow her to move back to London, and they finally agreed and she moved into an apartment before she was 17. She lived there with
three flatmates and studied cooking, which she hated, and worked at a Dance Academy but resigned because she didn’t like the pushy
stage school parents. She worked as a cleaner and a cocktail waitress before finding a job at a Kindergarten nursery school.
