Princess Diana Continued..

     In 1981 she married Queen Elizabeth II's son and heir Charles Windsor, the Prince of Wales. For the next 16 years Diana was rarely out of the news. Her pictures appeared in countless magazines. Her work for charity and other good causes was reported at length, and so, more controversially, were the details of her private life. She became one of the World's best-known women. Many believed her to be one of the most beautiful. She helped many organizations, "The Busy Charity Worker."
     After reading this book I think the theme is that you can use your popularity for beneficial purposes. In the text it said, "Diana also gave her name, as patron or president, of many different organizations, ranging from the National Children's Orchestra to the Pre-School Playgroups Association and Help the Aged." It also says, "She served these organizations not just as a figurehead but as a fund raiser, a chair of meetings and a spokeswoman." This shows that she used her popularity for virtuous purposes.

Princess Diana

     Diana, Princess of Wales was born in Britain, into the English upper class. Unlike other countries, Britain still has a royal family. In the late 1900s, its members were the matter of the big debate. Question is, "Should they stay remote from the people they ruled over or try to be more like them?" Should they keep to traditional ways or adopt a modern style of rule?" The life of Diana granted greatly to that debate. In 1981 she married Queen Elizabeth II's son and heir Charles Windsor, the Prince of Wales. For the next 16 years Diana was rarely out of the news. Her pictures appeared in countless magazines. Her work for charity and other good causes was reported at length, and so, more controversially, were the details of her private life. She became one of the World's best-known women. Many believed her to be one of the most beautiful.
     Diana was a very open, outspoken, ordinary woman. Many were surprised how she was less private, in that time many people didn't tell their personal business or spoke their opinions. I know this because in the book it says, "Diana's style was emotional and outspoken. This pleased people who wanted the monarchy to appear more up to date. Others felt that by seeming so "ordinary," Diana lowered the royal family's dignity. This proves that she was all of what I stated and that people really were surprised and wanted to listen to her.
