More quotes by Princess Diana
From the first day I joined that family, nothing could be done naturally any more.
Princess Diana

I understand that change is frightening for people, especially if there's nothing to go to. It's best to stay where you are. I understand that.

Whoever is in the distress can call me. I will come running wherever they are.
Princess Diana
