"Some are born great, some achieve greatness
and some have greatness thrust upon them," these Shakespearean
phrases probably portray well the character of Diana. Popularly
known as Di, she grew up from a shy and pretty little girl to
a gorgeous-looking young lady who charmed the hearts of many
not only by her looks but also the style. She achieved eminence
particularly due to her philanthropic work.
Diana could not live long to be the Queen of England but
she endeared many people in the world. She was the uncrowned
beauty queen.
The leitmotif of Diana's life was love. She loved almost
all whom she met and expected reciprocation. Two personalities
played a key role in her life - Prince Charles and Dodi Al-Fayed.
Diana loved, married and finally divorced Prince Charles.
The other person who came into her life at a later stage was
Dodi Al-Fayed, a multimillionaire from Egypt. She met an accidental
death while traveling with Dodi in France. But Diana, after
her distraught life with Prince Charles and the tragic death
with Dodi, has become a legend now.
She is also known for charitable work. Her contribution in
fighting the AIDS menace and the anti-mine campaign is noteworthy.
Diana's name is now synonymous with one who cared for almost
all and looked after the poor and the afflicted.
