As soon as she started to date Prince Charles, Princess Diana was constantly in the media and the public watched her every move, even up until the moment of her premature and tragic death in 1997. During the course of years that she was in the spotlight, people all around the globe grew to admire and respect her and when she died, people in ever corner of the globe mourned her loss and felt it deeply. Now, more than ten years later, Diana continues to live on through a number of Princess Diana charity work projects that she championed.

When Lady Diana Spencer married Charles, the heir to the throne of Britain, in 1981, her life was forever changed in ways that she surely had never even imagined. It was in 1987 that voluntary charity work seemed to take on a more important role to her. It was at that time that Diana participated in the opening of a hospital ward that was dedicated to AIDS patients. People from around the globe were in shock when they saw that she chose not to wear protective clothing because the common belief, at that time, was that AIDS could be spread by casual contact.

Many have pointed to that very day and said that it was when the Princess Diana charity work, which she became perhaps best known for, was set in motion. There were a great many people, including the Queen, Charles and various royal advisors, who were not altogether sure that the Princess should be so closely associated with something like the AIDS charity volunteer work. However, it seemed that the debate itself over this matter gave her a more firm resolve to stay committed to voluntary charity work.

Soon enough, it was not only the AIDS hospital volunteer work that gained from Princess Diana’s awareness and ministrations. Diana became the royal patron of no less than seventy different volunteer charity agencies and in short order had a packed schedule to try keep up with all of them. At first, the needs of babies and child welfare received most of her attention, but it was not long before Princess Diana took on many other dimensions as she discovered other opportunities for volunteer work London and through the British Empire.
