Princess Diana and Kate Middleton are both known for their grace, style and kindness. Sadly, both of these Royal women have also been subject to tragedy, as Diana died heartbreakingly young, while Kate recently revealed she has cancer, and has been keeping out of the public eye as she battles the disease.

Over the years, there’s been much discussion about the parallels between Diana and Kate, and one of their biggest commonalities can be found in the many things they’ve said to the press. While being a Royal is the ultimate privilege, it’s not always easy to have your every move publicly scrutinized, and Diana and Kate have delivered plenty of eloquent quotes that show just how smart and heartfelt they truly are.
