“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation or reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.” This quote shows why Princess Diana was known as a kind-hearted person. She overcame a lot of obstacles, as in the tragedy of her parents, her marriage, and the problems she faced as a Royal Princess.

During that time, Diana's brother, gave a eulogy speech. Similar to the Queens speech, the eulogy also contains pathos throughout his speech. He described Diana as “The very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty.” (Earl Spencer’s Eulogy To Diana) The eulogy clearly described that her title of royalty didn't make her who she was, and that her “magic” will continue on forever. Although, unlike the Queens speech, logos are found throughout the eulogy. Light is shed on all that Diana is, both the good and bad. He used factual evidence such as “Diana remained throughout a very insecure person at heart, almost childlike in her desire to do good for others so she could release herself from deep feelings of unworthiness, of which her eating disorders were merely a symptom.” (Earl Spencer’s Eulogy To Diana) He wanted the public to know that although Diana was an amazing person, she to had problems just like any other average

Princess Diana is considered to be the most favored member of the Royal Family in the history of the British Monarchy (biography.com editors 1). She is the former wife of Prince Charles, and the mother of Princes William and Harry.

When Diana was twelve, she moved to West Heath Girls’ School where her sisters attended, and later failed her exams and did not graduate with what we call a diploma. Diana did not return to school, instead she began forming her own charities and started working with other charities. Some of the charities that she was involved in include: “the homeless and starving, the children with AIDS, the battered women, and the destitute, and she worked towards banning landmines in places of war” (Gitlin, Martin). Princess Diana was associated with over a hundred different charities in her lifetime.

Suffering from the depression of having lost her paternal grandfather, and accepting that she could no longer put forth effort and move forward with her education took a major toll. Emotionally, Diana lacked a stable emotional foundation. When it came to relationships, she did not believe in happily ever after due to the collapse in her parents’ marriage. The difficulties that she experienced surrounding her own marriage seemed to make her stronger and more noticeable when it came to the type of charity work she carried and the media speculation. Those played a significant role in providing a support system for her – she focused her attention on helping others in order to make herself happy.

Diana allowed herself to be photographed at length in the south of France with Fayed.” Diana knew how to use the media but I do not believe it was to be a celebrity but a strong person that demonstrates
