“Nothing brings me more happiness than trying to help the most vulnerable people in society.”

Diana repeated this thought in various interviews. Behind her charity was not privilege but personal pain. Bulimia, depression, self-harm. She turned suffering into action and changed the world's attitude toward HIV, leprosy, and landmines.
I was twenty when I married the heir to the British throne. I thought it was a fairy tale. Within a year I realized it was a prison. Charles loved another woman. The court saw me as decoration. The press hunted me every day. I cut myself. I threw up after meals. I was the most photographed woman in the world and the loneliest. Then I decided: if I have this platform, I will use it for those nobody notices. I hugged people with HIV when others were afraid to touch them. I walked through minefields in Angola. If you are in pain, direct that pain toward helping others. It will not cure you, but it will give you purpose.
