People respect her for the philanthropic work during her life that has helped many people all over the world. Hundreds of people talked about Diana's kindnesses. She liked ordinary people, though she was rich and had many famous friends. She was always ready to lend a hand. Devoted to the sick and the poor, she visited hospitals for people with AIDS and for lepers and wasn't afraid to touch, to talk to, or to listen to them. Another reason people admire Diana, is the fact that she worked on charity. Amazingly, Princess Diana was part of forty four charity organizations. Her work with AIDS was global.

Other charities she advocated for was the eradication of landmines, cancer, and homelessness. And it's not only money that she wanted to give people, but a part of her soul. People admire this person for her humanitarian work and her kindness. She could understand and sympathize with the people. Princess Diana was a great woman who did great things for the world.
