Diana, Princess of Wales, was a member of the British royal family. She was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales—the heir apparent to the British throne—and mother of Prince William and Prince Harry

For her first solo official trip, Diana visited The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, a cancer treatment hospital in London.[175] She later chose this charity to be among the organisations that benefited from the auction of her clothes in New York.[175] The trust's communications manager said, "The Princess had done much to remove the stigma and taboo associated with diseases such as cancer, AIDS, HIV and leprosy."[175] Diana became president of the hospital on 27 June 1989.[216][217][218] The Wolfson Children's Cancer Unit was opened by Diana on 25 February 1993.[216] In February 1996, Diana, who had been informed about a newly opened cancer hospital built by Imran Khan, travelled to Pakistan to visit its children's cancer wards and attend a fundraising dinner in aid of the charity in Lahore.[219] She later visited the hospital again in May 1997.[220] In June 1996, she travelled to Chicago in her capacity as president of the Royal Marsden Hospital in order to attend a fundraising event at the Field Museum of Natural History and raised more than £1 million for cancer research

Diana was a long-standing and active supporter of Centrepoint, a charity which provides accommodation and support to homeless people, and became patron in 1992.[229][230] She supported organisations that battle poverty and homelessness. The Princess was a supporter of young homeless people and spoke out on behalf of them by saying that "they deserve a decent start in life".[231] "We, as a part of society, must ensure that young people—who are our future—are given the chance they deserve," she said.  Source

Her list would continue forever but I most respect Princess di for helping so many sick adults and children and for caring so much for everyone, regardless of race, religion, where they lived or their social class
