<p><span data-contrast="auto">With the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, many have Princess Diana&#8217;s tragic death on their minds. </span><span data-ccp-props="{";201341983";:0,";335559740";:276}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">In her famous tell-all TV interview in 1995 with journalist Martin Bashir, she said, &#8220;I&#8217;d like to be a queen of people&#8217;s hearts, in people&#8217;s hearts, but I don&#8217;t see myself being the queen of this country.&#8221; When the Princess and Prince Charles (now King Charles III) eight months earlier, she gave up her right to be the next Queen of England. After the divorce, it was agreed that her new title would be Diana, Princess of Wales. </span><span data-ccp-props="{";201341983";:0,";335559740";:276}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Not only is the Princess remembered as a prominent philanthropic force, with causes as varied as leprosy awareness, landmines, and HIV/AIDS, but she also looked good doing it. Today, Princess Diana is seen as a style icon, stepping up to the same level as Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy in the fashion world. Princess Diana&#8217;s style was timeless, yet she was not afraid to make some dares for her time. From ballgown to sweat, Princess D made everything look sophisticated and tasteful. </span><span data-ccp-props="{";201341983";:0,";335559740";:276}"> </span></p>
