29 years ago, the world received the news of the tragic death of Princess Diana, at 36, in an accident that shocked the planet. Her premature departure occurred under dramatic circumstances that forever marked the history of the British royal family and the collective memory of millions of people.

Almost three decades later, the memory of the people's princess remains alive, as she is frequently called. Her legacy continues to be remembered and celebrated by those who admired her and by generations who knew her only through the stories and images they left behind.

Diana became known for her dedication to social causes, using her privileged position to give voice to the most vulnerable. Throughout her public life, she was involved in numerous humanitarian initiatives, becoming a reference figure in social work.

In addition to her commitment to social causes, the princess stood out for gestures that defied the conventions of the era. Her rebellious and accessible approach contrasted with the tradition of the British monarchy, helping to humanize the image of the royal family and bring it closer to the common public.
