The Juggernaut x Radio Rani Collection: Princess Diana Sweatshirt

Diana’s designation as the “people’s princess” was less a matter of her pedigree, but rather of her personality. At the time when she traveled to Asia and Africa, she wasn’t viewed as a “white savior” or a colonizer, but as someone who led with empathy, a potentially new model for a relationship between the East and West. Subsequent generations have rightfully scrutinized (predominantly white) celebrities’ humanitarian efforts. (According to her, humanitarian work provided her an external sense of meaning when her inner world was so fraught.) And given Britain’s history in the subcontinent, one wouldn’t expect South Asians to idolize a British princess. Yet, with Diana, there was rarely mistrust of intentions — most South Asians didn’t view her efforts as a mere ploy for recognition. Even the most skeptical audiences acknowledged that Diana’s hearts-and-minds approach did move the needle on public awareness of HIV/AIDS and leprosy.
