During her marriage and after her divorce, Diana undertook a wide range of royal duties, representing the British royal family at various events and engagements.

Diana shook hands with a person suffering from AIDS, a gesture that was widely publicized and helped reduce the stigma around the disease.

Diana gave a sensational interview to the BBC, revealing her infidelity and that of Prince Charles, and casting doubt on his ability to be a good king.

Diana auctioned off 79 of her dresses to benefit AIDS and cancer research, raising $5.7 million for charity.
