She thought of the Royal as a person exuding warmth and making those around her feel appreciated. This and many more reasons make Diana one of the most loved Princesses in Britain’s history.
Considered to be Britain’s biggest fan, Julia captured this candid of Princess Diana at one of the public events she attended.

Julia earned the title of the biggest Royal fan because she religiously followed the Royal family for about thirty years. In the picture above, Princess Diana is seen with Prince William and Prince Harry of either side of her.
