February 1989. America eagerly awaits the visit of Princess Diana, much appreciated for her sense of style, who often steals the show from her charitable activities. If she is going to New York that winter, it is mainly for a gala at the Welsh National Opera, of which she is the godmother. But that’s not what the press will remember, reveals an episode of Underside of The Crown de Netflix.
This is the first time that Diana has gone on an official mission without Charles and that’s good: the couple is struggling and the princess will be able to concentrate on her busy schedule. Cocktails, parties, galas … Social events are numerous, after all, that’s what she’s here for! But between two glasses of champagne, Diana decides to go to one of the disadvantaged areas of Manhattan to visit an organization that provides shelter and helps the most disadvantaged, as well as the service of AIDS patients in a hospital in Harlem. This cause is close to her heart and she takes the time to comfort the sick and hug the HIV-positive children … before setting off again in the whirlwind of pomp and opulence that makes up her trip.
Although her outfits are scrutinized like never before and that her charity visits are only small stops in an ultra-luxurious trip, the press will retain the image of a young woman full of empathy. Someone who takes the torments of this world to heart and gives himself the means to shed light on the problems of disadvantaged individuals. Thus, this trip will help to break taboos and prejudices about AIDS and considerably increase the adoption requests of HIV-positive children.
