Video Of Princess Diana Stepping Back On Her Royal Duties Due To The Press Attention Resurfaces
There was a huge outrage following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s announcement that they were stepping back from their roles as “senior” royals have shocked the world. But this isn’t the first time a member of the royal family decided to step back due to the attention that comes with the role.
In the video, Princess Diana is seen saying that when she decided to marry into the royal family, she knew the media will be interested in her life. But she said she was “not aware of how overwhelming that attention will become.” She said the attention has so affected her public duties and private life “in a manner that’s been hard to bear.”
She concluded her speech, saying,”At the end of this year, when I’ve completed my diary of official engagements, I will be reducing the extent of the public life I’ve led to far.”

Hi, I'm Jadesola and if you've been here a while, you'll know that Ekomiami has always existed without a face. That changes now. I founded this platform in Lagos in 2018, originally as a space for entertainment and celebrity news. Over time and across continents my world grew bigger and so did my curiosity. Today, Ekomiami is what it was always quietly becoming: a home for travel, food, arts, and culture, told through the eyes of someone navigating the world from a very particular vantage point. With a background in content and media production. I write and create about the places I go, the food I find, and the experiences that make travel feel like more than a holiday. You'll find me in Bordeaux wine bars, on Albanian coastlines, in English market towns, and at restaurant tables taking notes between courses. The name "Ekomiami", "Lagos to Miami" has always been about movement, ambition, and showing up somewhere new. Seven years in, I'm stepping out from behind it. Welcome to the journey, properly.
