When Diana was killed in a Paris car crash on August 31, 1997, a girl of British pop Lilly Allen was just 12 years old. But, after the accident, she took to London’s streets and cried at the Princess’s funeral that autumn.

Now, 10 years later, Allen was one of the young stars who performed at a memorial concert for Princess Diana in London on July 1,2007. Young people of her age have felt the powerful legacy（遗产）Diana left behind. Many found an element in her that they could identify with（认同，视为一体）.

“She was every little girl’s fairy princess personified（拟人化，象征）,every young woman’s role and model of fashion and society, and in her charity work, she was everyone’s best chum（密友，死党）,”explains the royal commentator, Anne Somme.

It’s not only young stars like Allen who are showing their respect for Diana, but other young British seem to be mourning her in their own way.

A group of rappers from South London have recorded a song, “Ten Year Since You’ve Been Gone”, to commemorate her death. “Princess Diana touched a lot of people when she was alive and it’s amazing how much affection there still is for her, ”said the record’s producer, Charles Bailey.

But Dians was not always the tower of strength depicted（描写）by her glamorous（充满魅力的）image. The revelations of her decade-long suffering from bulimia（贪食症，即偶尔暴食，继而又感到沮丧、难过和自责）found sympathy with many young people. Admitting her disorder gave support to fellow sufferers. The number of young women coming forward for treatment doubled during the 1990s, according to a study by London’s Institute of Psychiatry.

“By raising awareness she helped reduce the stigma（污名）attached to these illnesses and encouraged young people to seek help, ” explains Mary George, of the Eating Disorder Association in the UK. “She made a very brave decision to publicly admit to such a problem.”

So, the strength of her resolve allowed Diana to turn her weaknesses into something positive for the public good.

Even after her tragic death, the Princess left two handsome sons, William and Harry, continuing her charitable legacy. Prince William heads the UK’s leading homeless charity Centrepoint. Prince Harry’s Sentebale helps children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Lesotho, southern Africa.

As Diana’s children, they have, of course, received extra attention and affection from the public – as well as speculation（猜测）. To the delight of young Royal fans, a new generation of Royals has emerged, and with them their girlfriends Kate Middleton and Chelsea Davy.

It was recently rumored that Prince William will propose to Kate with one of Diana’s treasured rings. It seems that the young princes are keeping Diana’s memory alive.
