February 1989. America impatiently awaits the visit of the princess diana, much appreciated for her sense of style, which often steals the show from her charitable activities. If she goes to New York that winter it was mainly for a gala at the Welsh National Opera, of which she is the sponsor. But that’s not what the press will remember, reveals an episode of Below The Crown de Netflix.
This is the first time that Diana has gone on an official mission without Charles and that’s good: the couple is in trouble and the princess will be able to concentrate on her busy schedule. Cocktails, parties, galas … Social events are numerous, after all, that’s why she’s here! But between two glasses of champagne, Diana decides to go to one of the disadvantaged areas of Manhattan to visit an organization that provides shelter and helps the most disadvantaged, as well as the service of AIDS patients in a hospital in Harlem. This cause is close to her heart and she takes the time to comfort the sick and hug the HIV-positive children … before setting off again in the whirlwind of pomp and opulence that makes up her trip.
Although her outfits are scrutinized like never before and that her charity visits are only small stops in an ultra-luxurious trip, the press will retain the image of a young woman full of empathy. Someone who takes the torments of this world to heart and gives himself the means to highlight the problems of disadvantaged individuals. Thus, this trip will help break taboos and prejudices about AIDS and considerably increase the adoption requests of HIV-positive children.
