Princess Diana

The Princess of Wales is one of the most prominent figures of the British royal family. Although she finds her death in very young age, her achievements will remain forever. She is actively involved in charitable activities and in 2005 received the International Leonardo da Vinci Award, which is awarded for merit in the arts medicine and sports, she donated dresses to support the fight against cancer and AIDS. Like her AIDS efforts, Diana travelled to countries with a high leprosy rate in order to remove the stigma surrounding the disease. As patron of The Leprosy Mission, she visited hospitals in India, Nepal and Zimbabwe and by spending time with patients, she dispelled one of the myths surrounding the illness—that it can be passed on by touch. “It has always been my concern to touch people with leprosy, trying to show in a simple action that they are not reviled, nor are we repulsed,” she said of the disease. Diana displayed a great affinity for young people and became a champion for some the most vulnerable. As patron of The Royal Marsden Hospital, known for treating childhood cancers, and Great Ormand Street Hospital for Children, she was often pictured comforting children and made a personal connection with many.
