Why I’ve Never Fully Moved On From Princess Diana’s Passing

I was just a 12-year-old, wide-eyed girl when Diana Spencer became the Princess of Wales. I remember being glued to the TV, mesmerized by the grand spectacle of her wedding to Prince Charles. Her voluminous gown, sparkling tiara, and that enchanting smile embodied all my childhood daydreams. At that age, I was awkward and uncertain, afraid that love might forever elude me. Yet, watching Diana step into her fairy tale gave me a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, my own prince would come along one day.

As time passed, Diana embraced her royal role, became a mother, and even shared a dance with John Travolta. Meanwhile, I was growing up too, eventually finding my own partner (who, thankfully, had a much more manageable name and was way cuter than Charles). I started my family and chased my passions, moving on from the childhood fantasies that Diana had once sparked in me.

But then, the cracks in her seemingly perfect life began to show—her struggles with mental health, her challenging marriage, the harsh reality of being a Windsor princess. What struck me was how she turned her pain into purpose. She bravely left her marriage and prioritized her children, refusing to let royal expectations dictate her happiness. I admired her courage to choose her own path, especially as I too faced my own life decisions. As a divorce attorney who opted to stay home with my kids, I understood the weight of making bold choices that others might see as reckless.

Then came that heartbreaking day in August when I was pregnant with my second child. I remember the world stopping as news broke that Diana had tragically died in a car accident. I watched the flowers gather outside Kensington Palace, saw the Queen struggle to appear human, and cried through Diana’s funeral. I still listen to the song Elton John played in her memory; it brings back all those feelings. Her brother’s eulogy was a poignant reminder of the royal family’s flaws, and I felt a deep sorrow when I saw the “Mummy” note resting on her casket, knowing her sons were left to navigate life without her.

With Diana’s passing, it felt like a part of my own childhood optimism faded away. The fairy-tale weddings I once believed in weren’t as magical as I thought. Marriages could falter, and the weight of royalty could be a heavy burden. Life isn’t always a storybook ending; sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense. Diana’s journey taught me some of life’s hardest lessons.

In many ways, she was a beacon of hope, even amid life’s twists and turns. Her sudden departure left me grappling with a loss of that hope. The girl who once watched Diana’s wedding with wonder had lost her princess.

I suppose growing up means losing those fairy-tale ideals. The storybook closes, and we must face reality. But the ache remains for the story that could have been.

In summary, Princess Diana’s life and untimely death resonated deeply with me, reflecting my own struggles and choices in life. Her journey from a hopeful princess to a woman who sought her truth serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of love, happiness, and the realities of growing up.
