Every time I watched the funeral, I always cry for the princess and the the two boys. May her soul rest in peace.

This story brings tears to my eyes every time

All she wanted is love and happiness. Nothing more. Even in a small studio in Luton she would have been happy. As long as she could have a lovely husband, being closed to her children and dancing and listening to music! That's why people could see themselves through her. She was unique.❤

"I go out into the street, people wave and say they love me then I come home and nobody does." That's heartbreaking.

No even a tear drops from the Royal family! 😭 We didn't know her personally and today days we still crying for her.

That part when her best friend said that outside everyone loves me and when I go home nobody does....I felt that. Princess Di deserved so much more in love she was such a beautiful soul

2022, I still cry for my Queen of the Heart even after so many years.

Why did she have to go through so much pain? She was a beautiful person. She didn’t deserve the treatment she got. The world still loves her.♥️🌹

I can’t believe it’s been 20 years! Doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. I remember waking up the next day, watching the news, and being totally devastated. She was such an amazing woman.

This butler deeply loved her, one can feel in the heart

Diana was a very strong and courageous woman. She blazed a trail. Excellent mother. Stellar career. Only thing missing was a faithful husband.

21:08 The way James Hewitt answered Yes I did, that’s why it’s difficult to talk about really. His eyes tells it all and it’s just making me teary 😢

[lilygold]

This video captures her life so perfectly. After all this time, she still captures the hearts of people all over the world. Everything that is said about her, is really the way she is in person. A very compassionate, loving and kind hearted woman, who is also really beautiful.

Princess Diana is one of my favorite people to learn about. Poor woman, they threw her to the wolves

Its been nearly 24 years since the passing of princess diana yet still watching those images still make me catch my breath. Rip the peoples princess but more importantly a very loving mother ❤🙏

[lisamoolman]

I think Paul Burrell loved Lady Di in such a beautiful way... He may have been her Butler, but a true friend even to this day. RIP Queen of Hearts. 💕

I was 8 years old, when my mother passed away. I never felt like a child again. I have thought of her everyday, and have always missed her. I am now 71 years old and my heart has been broken and will stay broken forever. We missed so much of life together. I love you, Mom. ❤️🌹❤️
