Princess Diana truly shows humanity.
Just reading this shows how uninformed & paranoid the public was of this pandemic. I get it. Princess D was a class act, unlike anyone
I love Princess Diana. She was such a smart, kind hearted and a very beautiful lady. It’s sad how she passed away at such a young age. I know the world misses her so much everyday. May she rest in peace, be forever loved and never be forgotten. She will forever be known as the Queen of the People’s Hearts.💜🕊️👑
This was such a huge, huge deal when it happened.

She was too good for the British royals bullshit show.
Because she’s a decent person and is smart enough to know that’d not hire it’s transmitted.
Princess of the people. Think she was known for that.
Why would she need gloves? Did she normally wear gloves?
Edit: I have learned since posting this that indeed it was a matter of course for women in the british royalty to wear gloves when making contact with commoners, making the interaction provocative but showing her empathy.
I wasn’t even alive when she passed, but I still miss her.
WITHOUT GLOVES!!!
Just read on another sub that childhood HIV/Aids is down to just 30 kids being born with it, this year in the US
I miss her so much!
She was a…Queen.
I’m not sure if it was known at that time, but you can’t get AIDs just by physical touch … it has to be due to the mixing of bodily fluids .

The media, at the time, told everyone that hiv/aids was a death sentence and we had no idea how it was transmitted.
We miss you, Princess Diana 🥲
Princess Diana was the real thing…
I thought she died of a car wreck?
Big deal. I was letting dudes like that blow their hot death up my ass back then – where’s my parade, man!
The only, ever, real life princess
This was all over the news at the time.
And then she died from AIDs because OJs glove almost didn’t fit.
The world needs more people like this in it ❤️
Ultimately what caused her early death. /s
Why would she need gloves?
I remember this. This was a big fuckin deal back then. We knew a little bit, but the disease was still really fucking scary to ignorant dorks like myself.
Princess Diana was so compassionate and real.
and 6 years later she was dead
HIV doesn’t contract like that silly..
This was a big deal. The AIDS crisis was fueled by poor understanding and misconceptions. One of them being just touching someone with AIDS without gloves.
There is an incredible play called Casey and Diana that is about this moment. People were audibly sobbing and blowing their noses in the audience, it was so sad and powerful.
Shook his hand without gloves? 🤮
She died shortly after.
Checkmate, science.
Sucks how the good gets killed/died , those bastards killed her
What a humanitarian. Not sarcasm.
