Who impacted the most in society? In my opinion, Princess Diana has affected history the most. Her bravado to face the whole world on something as controversial as AIDS and landmines really impressed me . While helping all of these other unknown people, she never forgot her role as a mother. Even after her divorce with Prince Charles, she was almost always with them making sure they never needed anything

The End :)
