DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES

Type: Projector Authority: Emotions

Profile: 1/3

On August 31, 1997, the world mourned the tragic loss of Diana, Princess of Wales, killed in a car accident in Paris on the eve of returning home to London. There have been numerous commentaries on her life and character in the intervening years, but the truth about Diana is contained within her Human Design... and the person she was designed to be.

This iconic Projector had five centers defined — the Crown, Mind, Heart,

Emotions, and Root — and these consistent energies provided her constant bearings. My snapshot view is: Her head was always spinning, entertaining inspirations and grand schemes (Crown) and preoccupied with thought, unable to shut down at night (Mind).

She had constant access to willpower (Heart) to strive for what she wanted. She was someone who, quite literally, set her heart on achieving goals or winning over certain people. She probably placed herself under a lot of pressure but was also grounded and capable of dealing with chaos and stress (Root). But the major part of her design stemmed from the Emotions. Here was an emotionally driven woman whose feelings could rule her head and lead her into all sorts of situations — and dramas!

When you combine the willpower of the Heart, adrenaline pressure from the Root, and intense feelings from the Emotions, you see someone who felt internal pressure to get ahead in life. Diana was never designed to be a wallflower princess, meekly following in the shadow of Prince Charles. Indeed, I suspect many people didn‘t appreciate how bright she was. I dare say even she didn‘t! After all, emotions ruled her life chart. She was led by her emotions, however erratic a course they set. When you also consider that she was a Projector, here was a woman yearning for recognition, to be invited to play her part and appreciated for her contribution. When it seemed that wasn‘t forthcoming from the

austere, none motional environment of the House of Windsor, the inner frustration would have felt unbearable and the emotions would have been unleashed.

In the lull between emotions, she would have been forever thinking and weighing up all situations. The 63-4 channel indicates a logical mental process that sifts doubts to find practical solutions but also creates a great worrier! In the privacy of her own mind, Diana was always working out ways to create a better tomorrow, yet was fearful about what the future held. But this deep worrier was a lot smarter, cannier, and more

considered than most people gave her credit for; she was also someone who, on an unconscious level, liked having control (gate 21), and this would explain why she sometimes rebelled against the controlling forces of the royal family and wanted such a hands-on role with the charities and causes that were close to her heart.

A notable feature of her design is that the Sacral, Self, Spleen, and Throat centers are all undefined. As with all Projectors, there was no Sacral energy to depend on.

However, because her presence and input were often requested for projects and charity work, the Projector‘s need to be recognized and invited was often honored and brought her much fulfillment in public. But in her marriage, by her own admission, she rarely felt recognized, and that would have led to a deep sense of upset and feeling misunderstood, as with any Projector.

Diana‘s lack of connection to the Throat meant that when she was in the company of people with a defined Throat, she was desperate to talk, talk, talk, and release pent-up conversation and thoughts. No wonder she indulged in three- to four-hour phone calls!

It‘s also interesting that she received voice-coaching lessons to improve her public speaking, reflecting a lack of confidence that can affect people with an undefined Throat.

But when in the company of defined Throats, she would have been competent at

expressing and helping resolve their problems from an objective viewpoint. Her difficulty would always have been expressing herself personally. When Diana spoke, she spoke for the benefit of the audience, not herself.

Diana‘s Self center was also turned off, meaning she struggled with a sense of identity and self-worth. Gate 48, from the Spleen, made her an intensely deep person who questioned whether she was good enough or could relate her understanding of life well enough. Privately, as evidenced in her butler Paul Burrell‘s book, A Royal Duty, she struggled to work out who she was when stripped of the royal persona and couldn‘t quite understand her public adoration. The only path she felt absolutely certain of was the one that led to humanitarian projects. As she told the BBC in 1997: ―I‘m a humanitarian — always have been, always will be.‖ And the one gate Diana had on in the Self center was gate 15 — the gate of the humanitarian.

The 37-40 channel from Emotions to Heart meant she was extremely tactile and could determine through a handshake or a hug where someone stood with her. Diana was known for reaching out to the world, being the first royal to hold the hand of an AIDs patient, to remove stigmas and break down barriers. That was the 37-40 in motion, because the Channel of Community seeks to embrace all people. People who met Diana said she broke the ice and made them feel like a friend. The skeptical media often observed that this was mere PR, but the truth is that people were actually feeling the qualities of someone with this channel. She was heartfelt by nature and had one of the 37-40‘s main attributes: a winning smile that instantly wooed everyone and bound strangers to her.

The 41-30 channel between the Root and Emotions meant there was a perpetual internal struggle to determine whether her glass was half full or half empty. This would have led to a sequence of changing moods that others may have found hard to judge. But this Channel of Recognition also meant she was a great visionary, someone ahead of her time. She would often have applied tremendous focus to a project or cause and refused to be sidetracked. Her dedication to the anti-land mine campaign remains a vivid case in point. Newspaper archives are full of references to ―a royal princess ahead of her time,‖

typifying this channel‘s attributes.

An in-depth reading would inevitably take into account many other factors in Diana‘s Human Design, but that is the general, snapshot view, illustrating an emotionally led, deep-thinking princess who was both heartfelt and vulnerable, full of self-doubt and yet determined to pursue her humanitarian causes. And someone who, regardless of the trappings of royalty, simply wanted to be recognized for the work she did.
