Diana, the former Princess of Wales, is a name known the world over. The royal, who was dubbed 'The People's Princess', was much-loved across the globe and adoration for her has continued long after her death in 1997. However, it came to light in Prince Harry's deeply personal memoir, Spare, that he never liked his mother's royal **** le of princess - and here's why
Within the book he penned: "Although my mother was a princess, named after a goddess, both those terms always felt weak, inadequate. People routinely compared her to icons and saints, from Nelson Mandela to Mother Teresa to Joan of Arc, but every such comparison, while lofty and loving, also felt wide of the mark. The most recognizable woman on the planet, one of the most beloved, my mother was simply indescribable, that was the plain truth."
Princess Diana certainly left a legacy as a humanitarian force, with iconic moments such as shaking the hand of a patient with HIV at London Middlesex hospital in 1987 to help end the stigma around the disease and walking through an active minefield in Huambo, Angola, to make a stand against landmines.
Despite many young girls dreaming of being a princess one day, with tales of dreamy weddings and fancy jewels, it turns out that the reality can be a little different, and Princess Diana often spoke about her struggles with being part of the monarchy.
"I felt that my personality was taken away from me, and I was taken over by the royal machine."
