Princess Diana was accustomed to a very busy schedule
While the life of the Royal Princess may have seemed dazzling and full of glam, on the contrary, it was actually very busy and bustling. Reportedly, Diana's entire day was packed with multiple appointments and appearances, that gave her no time to tend to her own self. As per a royal staffer, he was 'terrified' when he first saw Diana's book of engagements. This in itself speaks volumes about how the late Princess shuffled her time between her personal and public life.
