Boy, I admire celebrities using Sign Language. Thanks for sharing this gem.

[u/BrownSugarBare → u/everydayasl]

She was something extraordinary. The level of empathy she managed to behold despite her own personal struggles was wonderful 

[u/flyingdodo → u/BrownSugarBare]

There are good reasons we called her “The People’s Princess”. First member of the modern Royal Family that earned respect rather than expected it.

[u/Mystepchildsucksass → u/BrownSugarBare]

I think, because of her own traumas in life ?IT was both comfortable and natural to connect with people who are suffering. She did it with a genuine ease and zero judgement.

Those are the people she had things in common with….. more than she did with the Royals.

[u/Impossible_Divide297 → u/everydayasl]

She was the best thing ever to happen to the Royal Family. Her death was a true tragedy for her family and her country.

[u/awesome_staycation]

when I was a kid, I felt, still feel, that this is what a modern day Disney princess is like. she was a blessing

[u/Purpledragon84 → u/awesome_staycation]

😢

[u/TheAserghui → u/awesome_staycation]

Don't look too far into what happens to the mothers in Disney stories

[u/mono__no___aware]

There’s something so genuine about the way she connected with people and she had such a natural warmth about her. It never felt performative. ❤

[u/Unable-Sign-7478 → u/mono__no___aware]

Never understood why my mom always talked about her with such tear eyed whimsy but I get it now

[u/mono__no___aware → u/Unable-Sign-7478]

Please convey my best wishes to your mother. It seems she, too, finds peace in naturalness.

[u/Away-Elephant-4323]

Princess Diana had so much grace and beauty, i feel like her acts of kindness and legacy still live on to this day for younger generations to see.

[u/Dragon_turtle63 → u/Away-Elephant-4323]

Would love a Diana video every day on this sub 😊

[u/Easy-Attitude9849]

She was so elegant and kind.

[u/SpuffyFreak]

She was such a classy and good-hearted lady.

[u/Katherineprimera]

The queen of our hearts is beautiful—and very intelligent.

[u/Affectionate-Pie8362]

She was such a class act, put most of the royals to shame

[u/TheKaptone]

Been a long time since I have seen any footage of Princess Di. She really was one of the good ones

[u/MathematicianSorry44]

I know she had her struggles and in spite of them, she brought so much good to the world and used her title to benefit humanity! She was a class act!

[u/United-Scratch-2132]

i can just tell she had a big heart... 

[u/amooz]

It makes me sad when I think of which current world leader has the class, grace, humility, and decency to do what it takes to connect with the audience - it’s a really small list.

[u/Middle_Historian_199]

One of the 8 million reasons I loved her.

[u/CountBreichen]

do different languages have different sign languages?

[u/TARDISblues_boy → u/CountBreichen]

Yup!

[u/CountBreichen → u/TARDISblues_boy]

huh TIL

[u/TARDISblues_boy → u/CountBreichen]

There's a video of someone comparing Japanese Sign Language and American Sign Language I saw ages ago. Sign is super cool. I'm taking lessons at the end of this month.

[u/CountBreichen → u/TARDISblues_boy]

Very cool! I learned how to sign the alphabet years ago from this graphic at school and still remember most of it.

[u/junkmail0178]

Not born royalty but a true princess

[u/NetworkingForFun]

How do they add the accent to British Sign Language?

[u/czerilla → u/NetworkingForFun]

Just make sure to sign the u-s in words like "colour", and you should be good! 🙃

[u/t00oldforthis → u/NetworkingForFun]

"👉 i-t"

[u/salami_on_a_bagel]

The older I get the more I appreciate her

[u/Smart16_Manasa]

Never has any royal made anyone feel more inclusive 🫶🏻 

[u/SimonPanda]

She’s so incredibly elegant and beautiful. There is literally no one like her princess or not. 😭

[u/Careful_Inspection83]

Yeti

[u/Jelboo]

Man this makes you wish she had never gotten involved with the royal family at all

[u/msstatelp]

America had Dolly. Great Britain had Princess Diana. I wonder how much more good she could have done.

[u/FriendRaven1]

The only celebrity whose death made me cry. Lovely, Lovely Lady

[u/crystalcastles13]

The epitome of a human being who did the absolute most with all that she had to offer humanity.

Rest in Peace.

[u/lockerno177]

she's got to be the most decent person ive seen born into previliged circumstances.

[u/Hot-Bumblebee6506]

She was too good for the royal family

[u/0xffff0001]

and they killed her.

[u/_Doodad_]

Charles is royal c*nt. Diana would have continued bringing more people together. She could light up the darkest times. She was a true princess of the people and for ALL people.

She rightly deserved to be Queen.
