The Legacy of Princess Diana

It’s been 26 years since the world lost the People’s Princess and all eyes are on the royal wives she never met.
Princess Diana, the glamorous mother of Princes William and Harry, died on August 31, 1997, from injuries she sustained in a Paris car crash. She was 36. At the time, the ex-wife of the future King Charles III was being chased by paparazzi.
Years after enduring their mother’s tragic loss, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex married two different women from two unique upbringings. William married Kate Middleton, the daughter of a flight attendant and a flight dispatcher, in 2011. In 2018, Harry tied the knot with Meghan Markle, a former American actress.
Princess Diana likely taught Catherine and Meghan to stay true to themselves, protect their peace, and prioritize their families. British royal commentator Jonathan Sacerdoti said that one challenge both women will continue to face is stepping out of the shadow of their iconic mother-in-law.
