All The Times Princess Diana Played By Her Own Rules

Taking part in sports day

The royals were always viewed to have the stiff upper lip attitude but Diana always strived to get rid of this and appear as one of the people. One of the ways she did this was by taking part in the parents race at Prince William’s school sports day.

Any other member of the royal family most likely would have simply been a spectator, but Diana didn’t want her boys to think she was too serious to take part in these things. She ended up winning the mother’s race.
