Princess Diana anniversary - What it means to be a mother

It was Mother Teresa who wrote: “If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.”

She might have had her friend the princess of Wales in mind because it was through the love for her sons William and Harry that Diana changed hearts and minds and, in a very real way, changed the world.

It was she who shook the hands of an Aids patient at a time when doctors treating them donned protective suits and it was she who began ridding the world of the horror of landmines. No wonder the world fell in love with her.
