'I think we need to remind ourselves that she was probably the best known woman in the English-speaking world, aside from perhaps Queen Elizabeth II herself,'' said historian Ed Owens.
For proof, look no further than the glitzy concert that was a centerpiece of June's Platinum Jubilee celebrating the queen's 70 years on the throne.
Reporters and photographers followed Diana wherever she went. While the princess hated the intrusion, she quickly learned the media was also a tool she could use to bring attention to a cause and to change public perceptions. "When I started my public life, 12 years ago, I understood the media might be interested in what I did. I realized then their attention would inevitably focus on both our private and public lives,'' Diana said in 1993.
"They very effectively modified some of the formal patterns about the way they do their duties," she said of the royals. "The queen was more likely to interact with people, and I think you see the informality magnified now, particularly with William and Kate.'' But there are lessons for the monarchy to learn as it struggles with the fallout from the scandal over Prince Andrew's links to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Beyond that, there's Harry and his wife, Meghan's decision to give up royal duties for life in Southern California.
