The People’s Princess, Diana

Princess Diana was a beacon of grace and style, but the British press had a knack for giving her some rather memorable nicknames.

After her tragic death in 1997, then-Prime Minister Tony Blair bestowed her with a title that would endure forever. "She was the People’s Princess, and that is how she will stay, how she will remain in our hearts and memories forever," he declared, according to BBC News. That’s one nickname that truly encapsulates her legacy.
