Princess Diana Tribute Tshirts

Is it possible it's been 20 years since Diana, Princess of Wales, left us? It was 1997, and the 20th anniversary of that terrible day is coming up. It's hard to miss all the tributes, TV shows, magazines, and articles that are coming out now.

Opinion is still divided about Diana and her legacy. Some believe she was wronged by a husband who never loved her and a system that didn't support her. Others (with whom I disagree vehemently) believe she was manipulative and slightly deranged. Those of us who watched her life, from wedding to funeral, were witness to the evolution and transformation from an almost schoolgirlishly naive teenager to a sophisticated, shrewd woman. There's no doubt she was highly intelligent, and was grievously wronged. Loved by everyone except the man she yearned to be loved by (Prince Charles), she could have become a bitter and twisted person, but instead she learned to live life as much on her own terms as was possible under the circumstances. She forever changed the monarchy, not just by giving birth to a future king (and a "spare" - the indomitable Prince Harry) who is bent on modernizing the monarchy, but by lifting back the curtain of mystery that the monarchy used to hide behind. She showed us they were humans, flawed and imperfect, and the monarchy will never be the same.
These two t-shirts are made in tribute to this remarkable woman, and contain quotes that are emblematic of her life and her gifts.

Princess Diana Death 14 Years Later

It's been 14 years since that shocking day in 1997, when we learned of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. An icon during her lifetime, she became a legend after her death, with hundreds of books written about her, more than one investigation into the circumstances of that night in Paris, and millions still missing the People's Princess. Collectors still covet Diana products, from Beanie Babies to handwritten letters that sell at auction for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Diana is most remembered for her humanitarian works (especially in the areas of AIDS awareness and acceptance, land mines and children) and her fashion. It's amazing how one can look at photos of her from 15 years ago, and she still looks remarkably contemporary. By then she had adopted a casual look in her private life, and a classic look in her public one.

Here --from the tacky to the terrific -- are a few examples of collectible items available at Amazon.com to commemorate the Princess's life and death.
