Raise the glasses, light the candles, and open the champagne: Today would be the 62nd birthday of Diana Frances Spencer, Princess of Wales.
How would Diana have spent this day if she was still alive? During her life, Diana loved to party, to dance and was involved in several charitable causes. She supported organisations related to children, homelessness, and health issues and was also passionate about advocating for landmine victims as well as raising awareness about HIV/AIDS.
On her 62nd birthday, Princess Diana might have chosen to spend the day engaging in charitable activities. She might have visited hospitals or organisations dedicated to children’s welfare, spending time with young patients or attending fundraising events. Given her love for children, she might have organised or participated in a celebration for disadvantaged or ill children, aiming to bring them joy and happiness on her special day.
Furthermore, Princess Diana had a close relationship with her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. She could spend time with them and her grandchildren, enjoying a family gathering or organising a private celebration. Maybe they would have been on the same continent, or Harry would have taken a plane to see his mom.
Diana was also known for her love of fashion and style, so she might have attended a fashion event or used her birthday as an opportunity to support emerging designers. She might have worn a dress even more spectacular than her so-called revenge dress and would have proven that women over 60 are spectacular.
She might have danced to her favourite Duran Duran song, hopefully with the love of her life she was always looking for next to her.
Ultimately, these are all speculations, and we will never know. But let’s do our best so this iconic woman will always be remembered. Cheers to Diana, queen of hearts!
