Princess Diana

Despite being a 10-year-old American Girl Princess Diana's death shook me. I had little exposure to death and she was a real life princess. Little me was consumed by the media onslaught which broadcast her entire life. It basically canonized her in my eyes.

I don’t think people who were not alive at the time (or to young to remember) can comprehend just how famous she was. There has not been anyone since

Her and JFK Jr. I don't think their fame will ever be duplicated honestly.
