Dear Is Mise,

Princess Diana was a unique Royal.
She had the capacity to reach people and touch
people's lives. She was the "People's Princess,"
and the entire world cried when she died. This does not
happen for ordinary people. You may consider her as
ordinary, however there are millions around the globe
who would disagree with you, myself included. The following
link explains her achievements and how effective she was:

Foxy,

Millions around the world can be wrong, sheer numbers is no guide;
the fact that millions celebrated the New Millenium as commencing in 2000 instead of 2001 is proof positive of how easily public opinion can be swayed.

Diana was not the brightest candle in the room and had she not married into the limelight was destined to a career in odd jobs and remaining an unknown.

Dear Is Mise,

I'll take the reactions of millions to the Princess of
Wales instead of your singular one.

What either of us
think really does not matter in the great scheme of
things. The Princess will go down in the pages of
history and will forever be remembered for the compassion
she showed to the most vulnerable, for the hard work
that she did for all the charities and organisations that
she supported and the funds she raised for them, for her
work towards having land-mines banned and so much more.

It's been 20 years since her death - yet she is not
forgotten. Not a bad achievement in itself.
What other Royal is remembered so affectionately 20 years
after their death - by not only the UK but globally?

//What other Royal is remembered so affectionately 20 years

Just limited to England?

Alfred the Great, Harold Godwinson, William the Conqueror, Richard the Lionheart, Richard III, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Charles II, Victoria, amongst others...

Proper royals, as opposed to rich tarts that married well.
