photography assistant to princess diana

Princess Diana's reaction to assistant who dropped an umbrella on her is touching

It's been 25 years since the passing of Princess Diana, and we are still hearing anecdotal stories about how charming and classy she was. 

Diana, Princess of Wales was known for her maverick style and not always following royal protocol, but she was also known for her humanity. After all, Diana was known as "The People's Princess," even to assistants. 

How did the assistant drop an umbrella on Princess Diana's head?

On one occasion, Princess Diana was getting pictures taken by royal photographer David Baily. Quite by accident, one of the assistants dropped an umbrella on Diana's head, and of course it was awkward. Because Princess Diana was such an elegant lady, she just ignored it and moved on with the photo shoot. 

When the photography session was over, Princess Diana asked Baily about who had dropped the umbrella on her head. The photographer pointed out the assistant saying, "It was her." 

Diana made her way over to the assistant and told her not to worry about it because, naturally, the assistant was very concerned that she had offended the princess.
