Diana, Princess of Wales

Diana never reads to me as merely a royal icon, though she certainly was one. What stays with me is how she spent her fame: walking through minefields to spotlight the campaign against landmines, taking the hand of an AIDS patient when much of the world still recoiled. She turned glamour into leverage for the vulnerable, and did it with a warmth that felt unscripted. Her death at 36 in 1997 robbed the world of decades of that work. I'd rather remember the woman who knelt to meet people at eye level than the tabloid figure. That instinct for the overlooked was her real legacy.
