Princess Diana talks to AIDS patient

FILE- In this file photo dated Oct. 26, 1991, Princess Diana talks with AIDS patient Wayne Taylor at the Casey House AIDS hospice in Toronto, Canada. For someone who began her life in the spotlight as “Shy Di,” Princess Diana became an unlikely, revolutionary during her years in the House of Windsor. She helped modernize the monarchy by making it more personal, changing the way the royal family related to people. By interacting more intimately with the public -- kneeling to the level of children, sitting on edge of a patient’s hospital bed, writing personal notes to her fans -- she set an example that has been followed by other royals as the monarchy worked to become more human and remain relevant in the 21st century.
