Perhaps one of the characteristics which endeared Princess Di to the nation, was her ordinariness. She seemed to be at home with all sorts and types of people, from royalty down to the commonest commoner. She didn't give herself any airs or graces, but was herself and gave of herself to all those with whom she came into contact. She could have been anyone's favourite daughter or sister or friend. Add to that her stunning good looks and her marriage to a prince, and a fairytale was born, a fairytale which continues to exist today, although the Princess sadly died years ago.
