Princess Diana

In rememberance on the anniversary of her death. Toward the end of her life, her style was really superchic and was a global trendsetter. Her style still has a major influence and was IMO the best dressed royal ahead of Princess Caroline of Hanover. She had almost gotten it all together when she passed

I remember when she died, hearing it on the radio and my dad talking about how beautiful she was and what a shame it was that she died so early.

I don't remember how old I was maybe 9 and I had never heard of her when my mom told me she was very upset (sad) and she said The Princess of Whales died and I was like "What a whale died?" but I watched her funeral at my babysitters house she told me I couldn't but I waited till she went to sleep and watched it anyways!

The necklace she's wearing in that photo is involved in some dispute with Prince William...

Apparently the sons want one of the last pieces of jewelry that their mother wore.

I don't see anything wrong with that....

I was like 3 when Diana married Prince Charles, instantly I loved Diana and what she represented. I still have a cookie metal case (from these Swedish cookies) with the image of Diana and Charles preparing for their "honeymoon" trip. When she died I felt terrible because she was a part of my childhood illusions. I think she deserved to live happily with Dodi.

First I didn't believe her death. She was more than a simple human to me. Don't know why i felt this, maybe cause i was a child when she died.

I adored her aswell. How long has it been? I know I was only little when she passed. We came home from a party and my cosuin came out and said she had passed. She was such a lovely woman. That is a beautiful necklace!

I was surfing the Internet when I got word that she had passed... I think I was in the 8th or 9th grade, so 14 of 15... indeed a shame

Princess Diana was my first real true love. I met her when I was 11, well I didn't actually meet her but I shook her hand when she came to my home town, and went on a walk about. I felt like I met Cinderella.

She was exquisite internally and externally.

I cried for a more than a week when she died and went into depression after that.

I miss her still.

She was an angel on earth.

She was such a wonderful, down to earth person. I met her in 1994 in Chiswick, and briefly spoke to her, she was so much smaller than she appeared to be on TV, i too was devastated when i woke up to hear of her tragic death on the radio, its the same feeling i had when 9/11 took place, as though im in a fantasy... unreal and dreamy. I miss the leader she would have become.... sad she is gone. But we have great memories of her humility, love and respect for humankind.

God bless and RIP Diana...

I was in third grade when it happened. We spent a whole half a day learning about her. All the teachers were super upset. All I remember is thinking how terrible the paparazzi are. And I remembered something about the position of her seatbelt, and I always make note not to do it in the car.

I think they should give the boys that necklace...
