25 years later, the popularity of the princess is intact

An unfailing smile and an iconic boyish cut. Lady Diana, pictured, rests in peace on a flowerbed, September 1, 1997. A woven carpet of tributes and tears impossible to count. However, his death dates from barely 24 hours. When her death was announced, thousands of English people from all walks of life crowded in front of Kensington Palace, the princess’s residence. On all the faces, the same sadness appears.

Because Lady Di knew how to break the ice of royalty to warm and touch hearts. “It is now that she is dead that we realize how much she meant to all of us”testified an English woman in 1997. The tributes overwhelm Kensington, but upset above all the royalty. Elizabeth II remains silent and invisible. It is only five days later that the queen, who is returning from Scotland, comes to meditate in front of Buckingham Palace. 25 years later, flowers no longer line the aisles of Kensington Palace. The fever has subsided, but Diana’s popularity has not. She remains in the history of the monarchy the princess of the people.
