All The Times Princess Diana Played By Her Own Rules

Standing up for her beliefs

The royals would never involve themselves in controversial issues and it was forbidden for the press to ask them politically-motivated questions which could potentially spark backlash. However, Diana was not ashamed to promote her political stance on many issues and in 1997 she visited an active minefield in Huambo, Angola in order to campaign against landmines.

Her controversial decision shocked people around the world and her advocacy led the reduction of landmines around the world. Today, Prince Harry works with the same foundation to stop the landmines as his mother did.
