Princess Diana was loving. She'd travled thousands of miles a year just to support her favorite causes. Attempting to ban and inform people about the dangers of land-mines. Diana went to places such as Angola and the former Yugoslavia on behalf the International Campaign to Ban Land-mines. She also loved her sons very much. She liked to take them with her on her trips,so that they could see that there was a world outside the palace walls.

Princess Diana was respected. She was known as a "Queen of Peoples Hearts" even though after her divorce with Prince Charles she was no longer considered to be royalty. When she died people from not only England, but the entire world, came to Buckingham Palace,Kensington Palace,St.James Palace(where her body was being kept) and her familie's estate just so they could bring her flowers and pay their respects.

This is all the proof we need to say that Princess Diana was a hero. She was loving, generous, and respected. All of which are good qualities that show how she was a hero.
