Princess Diana remembered on the 29th Anniversary of her death

Today marks 29 years since the passing of Diana, Princess of Wales, whose compassion, humanitarian work, and connection with people around the world continue to be remembered.

Diana, Princess of Wales, died on the 31st August 1997 at the age of 36, and her passing was a shock to many across the world. Her legacy lives on through the charitable causes she championed and the lasting impact she made on millions of lives.

Often remembered for her kindness and ability to break down barriers, Princess Diana remains one of the most admired public figures of modern times. Nearly three decades later, tributes continue to honour a woman whose influence extended far beyond royalty.

Some of Diana, Princess of Wales' incredible, global work included:

• Helping change public attitudes toward HIV/AIDS by publicly shaking hands with AIDS patients at a time when many people still feared casual contact, helping to reduce stigma and misinformation.
• She brought global attention to the danger of landmines, using her platform to highlight the devastating impact they had on civilians in war-torn countries.
• She transformed the way royals connected with the public, breaking tradition through her hands-on charity work and genuine compassion for vulnerable people, earning the nickname "The People's Princess."

This anniversary also arrives at a time of renewed focus on Diana's legacy, with Prince Harry recently returning to the UK with his family after several years abroad.
