was broadcasted around the world. They had
two sons named William and Harry.
Princess Diana was a supporter of various
charities and worked to help the homeless,
people living with HIV and AIDS, sick children
and battered women. One of her major eforts
was the battle against the use of landmines.
Princess Diana died in a car crash. She
and her friend were trying to escape from
the paparazzi (photographers who follow
celebrities) in Paris on August 30, 1997.
