Princess Diana. Honorable Princess of Wales. Diana. These are just names that have been attributed to the most loved Princess of Wales—Diana. It was on the 31st of August 1997 that Diana was pronounced dead due to a car crash. Many have grieved over such death which transcends all borders of countries. But up ‘til now, Princess Diana has not yet been forgotten by many people and most especially to her two dashing princes. Prince William and Prince Harry have organized a concert for Diana. This concert will be a sort of remembering Diana during her lifetime. But more than just simply remembering her, the concert will continue what she has started when she was still alive—helping the poor and the needy.
Undeniably, the 10th year death anniversary of Princess Diana is as spectacular and awesome as the person being remembered. To note, about 60,000 people have participated and joined to this wonderful and once in a lifetime event in the United Kingdom. The concert was broadcasted and statistics have it that about 500 million homes represented by each family have watched it not just in the country but over 140 countries.

Diddy; and Nelly furtado among many other great musicians. The concert is huge in terms of the line up of the performing artists. The concert went so spectacular and amazing. The end of the concert marked the greatest ending of all concert. Prince William, at the end of the concert, said a huge thank you to all the people that have attended and taken part in such commemoration of Princess Diana. Proceeds will go to their supported charities.
