"In 1987, when so many still believed that AIDS could be contracted through casual contact, Princess Diana sat on the sickbed of a man with AIDS and held his hand. She showed the world that people with AIDS deserve no isolation, but compassion and kindness. It helped change world's opinion, and gave hope to people with AIDS."
- President Bill Clinton, commenting on Princess Diana's committment towards assisting people with AIDS

Historical Account: "Princess of Wales" - Prince Charles' love life had always been the subject of press speculation, and he was linked to numerous glamorous and aristocratic women. In his early thirties, he was under increasing pressure to marry. Legally, the only requirement was that he could not marry a Roman Catholic; a member of the Church of England was preferred.
In order to gain the approval of his family and their advisers, any potential bride was expected to have a royal or aristocratic background, as well as be Protestant. Diana seemed to meet these qualifications. They married at St Paul's Cathedral on July 29th, 1981, watched by a global audience of almost one billion. |
