SUMMARY:

- She chose her ring from a catalog! Of course, it didn’t make it any less gorgeous, but, as Diana herself noted, it was still far from the most expensive ring out there. Now her jewelry has passed on to Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, the wife of her son Prince William.

- Princess Diana gave birth to both of her children in a hospital. Now royal mothers-to-be follow in Diana's footsteps, including the Duchess of Cambridge: she gave birth to all 3 of her children in the same hospital where Princess Diana delivered her sons.

- She was against long separations, and that’s why little William and Harry always traveled with their parents when they were performing their duties.

- Pretty much everyone who remembers Princess Diana associates her name with kindness. Of course, she wasn't the only one who visited hospitals and did humanitarian work, but she was the only one who did it with extreme sincerity and openness. So it wasn't long before the public started to call her “The People’s Princess.”

- In 1995, she secretly gave an interview in which she confessed to having some difficulties in her relationship with her husband. Unfortunately, soon after this interview aired, the couple divorced.

- Princess Diana was the icon of her time and one of the biggest fashion icons of all time too! She wasn't afraid to break the strict royal dress code and always managed to look elegant, trendy, and beautiful.

- The Queen and her associates learned one important lesson: the existence of the monarchy in the UK depends on public opinion. As a result, the royal family has become way more open.
