Time and Space: Princess Diana's Historic Speech Stepping Back From Public Duties (1993)

Details

Description

On 3 December 1993, Diana, Princess of Wales made a historic speech at a lunch hosted by the brain injury charity Headway. It would be remembered as the speech in which Diana, who had a long association with Headway, announced that she was stepping back from public duties. Her separation from Prince Charles, Prince of Wales the previous year had resulted in a level of media interest – and a lack of privacy – that had, in Diana’s words, become “hard to bear”. She nevertheless assured her hosts that she would remain close to the charitable causes she had supported for so long, telling them that, "in the past twelve years, I can honestly say that one of my greatest pleasures has been my association with people like yourselves."
