Why was Diana,Princess of Wales respected?

Question

i read about Diana in wiki and another article at about.com but what i was not able to understand was what made people respect Diana. She definitely had an interesting life and i understand why people were interested in her life and her reason to be popular.She did some charity work but a lot of celebrities do that today, they are not as respected as Diana (not even close). so what was it about Diana that made her respectful and loved by people(i heard she was loved more than Queen Elizabeth)?

Answer 1

Well, I never liked her. I saw her as a s**t with a taste for muslim men. She was liked by British housewives though;that was her main fan base.

Answer 2

She was a damsel in distress...

She was both beautiful and fragile at the same time...

She actually becomes the woman to love and to protect... at least that's what the public sees in her (considering Prince Charles)...

and I think that because of that wonderful aura surrounding her... we learn to love her... even in death...

Answer 3

...Because Princess Diana really cared about people.
