Lady Diana – The Princess of Hearts

She changed a room before she changed the world. From Park House to St Paul's, the cameras made Diana a symbol—but this book follows the woman who learned to turn attention into a tool. In wards where fear once kept families at the door, she stepped in ungloved and made touch public. She sat with leprosy patients, steadied parents in oncology corridors, and ran a household by the same plain rules she brought to shelters and hospices: arrive, listen, use names, leave something useful behind. When the fairy tale fractured, she refused to disappear. The 1995 interview claimed a voice; the 1996 divorce claimed a new freedom; the 1997 dress auction turned silk into nurses, boilers, and research. Then came the visor and vest in Angola—January 15, 1997—a narrow lane walked for a wider law, and Bosnia that August, where survivors taught the world what a metre can mean. This lean, date-anchored narrative cuts through myth and melodrama to reveal a method anyone can copy: move toward fear, lower the temperature, keep promises small and kept. It traces the afterlives of a life—Ottawa's signatures, wards that relearned touch, sons who carried the work forward—and lets the facts do the shining. This is the story of how a princess learned to aim attention like light—and why it still matters.
