Lady Diana Frances Spencer (1 July 1961 – 31 August 1997) was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales. From the time of her engagement until her death, Princess Diana was one of the most famous women in the world. She was known throughout the world as “The People's Princess” and “The Queen of Our Hearts” (Pettinger, 2006). Through her charity and her struggles in life, many people admired and could identify with the princess. Princess Diana was well known for her charitable work, particularly her campaigns against the use of landmines and to help AIDS victims (Biography.com, 2011). . Little was known about AIDS, some still believed that a person could contract AIDS by touching, hugging or kissing an infected person. In April 1987, the Princess of Wales was the first high-profile celebrity to be photographed knowingly touching a person infected with the HIV virus (Pettinger, 2006). This has had a significant impact on changing people's opinions and attitudes towards the disease. Perhaps her most widely publicized charity appearance was her visit to Angola in January 1997. There she served as an International Red Cross VIP volunteer, visited mine survivors in hospitals, toured mining projects run by the 'HALO Trust and attended mine awareness courses on the dangers of mines immediately surrounding homes and villages (Pettinger, 2006). As audiences watch Diana battle injustices against humanity, Diana battled several serious psychological issues. Princess Diana struggled with bulimia and depression throughout her life (Biography.com, 2011). In 1992, Andrew Morton's book, Diana: Her True Story, revealed that Diana had attempted suicide during the early years of her marriage, struggled with an eating disorder, and was obsessed with whether Charles was... middle of paper ... .personal problems to face: interpersonal loss, role dispute, role transition, deficit (Comer, 2006). As a wife, future queen, and mother, Diana had some important roles to fill and was very overwhelmed by these responsibilities. It was obvious from her feelings of extreme loneliness and battle with bulimia that she wasn't getting the support she needed from her husband or family, so group therapy might have been another option for her to find that support system that she missed it at home. Group therapy is useful in approximately 75% of cases, especially when combined with individual insight therapy (Comer, 2006). I believe her charity work, while extremely noble and beneficial to the world, was a cry for the support and love she was missing in her marriage. The more charity work he did, the more affection he earned from the public.
