Trivia: What nickname did Princess Diana earn thanks to her popularity?
The Pearl of Britain
The People’s Princess
The Queen of Hearts
The Peacemaker
The correct answer is The People’s Princess
So why is this answer correct? : British Prime Minister Tony Blair was the first to coin this term, just after Diana’s death in 1997. As the country (and much of the world) grieved the sudden loss of the beloved princess, Blair, who was just four months into his new post, was tasked with the difficult job of addressing the nation. In his speech, he spoke of the sadness that everyone felt, and how often Diana’s life was touched by tragedy. Blair ended with, “She was the people’s princess, and that’s how she will stay, how she will remain in our hearts and in our memories, forever.” From then on, magazines and news headlines around the world used the phrase.
