26 thoughts on “Princess Diana shaking the hands of an AIDS”
People do not realize how powerful that gesture was at the time. With a singular gesture she humanized people who were systematically being shunned and casted out. I was very young when this happened and still remember it making global news and the imprint it left. Imagine going viral for the right reasons for the right gesture without any of the social media platforms available to us today.
For people who weren’t alive during the AIDS epidemic, you don’t understand how big of a deal her actions were. So much fear and conflicting information about who was vulnerable and who should be afraid. She was truly groundbreaking
This 1991 photo was not the first handshake to an AIDS patient. She first did so in 1987 (different older picture) when she first opened a clinic in the UK to serve AIDS patients – the first unit in the country.
With so little known then and she still knew more than anyone. She was gone before I was born but I’m reminded often how great she was. Also love that pop culture gives her tribute more than once. Not sure how many drag queens did her in RPDR but definitely more than once. Recently the newest season Global edition the uk drag queen did her for snatch game! Love it! 💞
So she was applauded because she shook this persons hands without gloves? Shaking someone’s hands is not gunna give you aids if you did it 6,000 times without gloves.
Diana had the shitiest luck in men. Charles broke her heart. The Paki surgeon didn’t want her to cook for him. Dodi was a playboy and had her killed. The others just wanted to stick her and tell. A bunch of twats.

even tho this is probably a repost, i don’t mind. everyone needs to remember how amazing this human was.
She had class, grace and compassion without the Royal family. An extraordinary person who left this life far too soon.

Princess Diana was best of the royal family, unmatched
And that is one of the reasons she was and always will be a very special person.
Thank Regan and Nancy Pants for treating people afflicted with aids like scum.
Looks like a repost. I’ve seen this image 15 times.

Not to take away from Diana’s importance in this but Elizabeth Taylor was a significant force in this too.
She was so kind.

She was an incredible force! A hero in so many ways….
Prince harry has Diana’s way with people.
This took place at Casey House in Toronto.

Her compassoin was so respectable.
True empathy from an earth angel taken from amongst us way too soon
So she was applauded because she shook this persons hands without gloves? Shaking someone’s hands is not gunna give you aids if you did it 6,000 times without gloves.
And now she’s dead. Coincidence?!
Here’s the awful joke that someone else told, but I laughed so I’m just awful –
“They thought it was a big deal when princess Diana shook hands with someone with aids, but Freddy Mercury used to have sex with them.”
Then she went home and wanked Charles off with it
And she died shortly after. Coincidence? Yes.
Diana had the shitiest luck in men. Charles broke her heart. The Paki surgeon didn’t want her to cook for him. Dodi was a playboy and had her killed. The others just wanted to stick her and tell. A bunch of twats.

Is that why she died?
What do you need gloves? It’s sexually transmitted, or transmitted through blood. She knows what’s up.
