Now we have a virus so infectious you can catch it through air conditioning in a hotel. Not such a bad thing to be overly cautious. AIDS was a death sentence.
She shakes hands with AIDS patients to show that they are not this "dangerous" all think. She took poor kids in africa on her lap and comfort them to show they are humans like us and have to be treated with empathy and respect. Truly the princess of hearts.
Princess Anne was visiting Africa and holding poor kids on her lap in the 70s. She went to villages and walked around, held hands and went inside houses with very little protection. Who do you think Diana learnt it from?
I remember when this happened. I was awed that anyone, much less a PRINCESS, would shake the hands of AIDS patients. She educated the entire world in this moment, which was her intent all along.

People weren't reluctant to shake her hand, she shaked lots of hands and gave hugs. They were reluctant to be photographed as an AIDS patient. This man in the photo is the only person who agreed to be photographed shaking her hand (and only from behind) because nobody wanted people to know they had AIDS. One of the patients she hugged said that it was the first time anyone hugged them since their diagnosis. Your own family wouldn't touch you out of fear of catching it.
@@Yamezzzz I agree but I think you missed my point….. like he seemed reluctant for her sake bc of the stigma he had received previously and her kindness disarmed him.
This absolutely rocked the world when it happened. People who weren't around will never understand how huge AIDS was and how terrifying it was. Victims were treated like lepers. She changed an immeasurable number of lives for the better by this action.

The nurses faces 😂. The fact this woman said I’m not as ignorant as the world and literally changed it within a moment. She truly was amazing I wish she had the chance to love her life fully she would’ve done great things.
pretty sure the nurses are aware that it won't spread through touch. To me it looked like she was listening to him and her speak and just didn't know where to look with her eyes, thus looking into the distance.
Back then not many people knew I don’t think because growing up I heard this a lot from peers or even out of adults mouths (not even just adults I know but random people especially the political ones) Once I got older is when I learned what’s what it was a weird time.
@@lovleyloner1487 so at this point in time (1987) it had been known for quite some time that HIV was sexually transmitted. But much of the public was still very ignorant on the disease as western political leaders intentionally ignored the epidemic for a near decade because the disease was killing almost exclusively gay men.
If their blood mixed with a cut on each of their hands then there’s a possibility she could. It can be passed through broken skin, so yea this handshake could have been deadly or given her HIV which then can lead to AIDS. So y’all better educate and realize it’s blood borne not just sexually transmitted. Hence why a nurse would need and HIV test if stuck with a needle that was used on a positive patient.
@@lawless8850 I implore you to scour the internet for one incidence of HIV transmission from an open wound to wound handshake. No shit it “could” happen, but it’s as misleading as saying you could get HIV from a toilet seat if you had cuts on your legs and sat in blood. It’s unrealistic and never going to happen.
@@colinlavelle7806Umm ok 😒, and I'm a Clinical Psychologist so her body language and mannerisms says it does. And besides as an "ex nurse" you're out of your jurisdiction for anyone to assume that your opinion is true. So don't be presumptuous with me sir🤚🏾!!!!
I wish Diana had lived longer. Everything I hear about her is nothing but good and kind. She only seems to get better the more I know. Bless her heart and her soul.
My nan used to work with her - unfortunately not all sunshine and rainbows (she was VERY self centred apparently, but polite enough; probably a product of how the Spencer’s were as a family though), but she was good at being a princess so 🤷🏼♀️ (which is basically just being likeable to the public) That’s not to detract from good things like this that she did, but some of the other things she did were just for publicity/out of spite etc. Basically just a reminder to not have rose tinted glasses over anyone lmao

@@chess6602 self centred in regards to what? do people forget abuse depression and eating disorders are not fun for the person and cause isolation and bitterness.
She was well informed. People were so scared about this disease, they didn't even know exactly how it was transferred. She knew it wasn't a problem. I still know people who refuse to hug a family member because they have AIDS. (It's Heartbreaking)If something scares you find out as much as possible about it. Don't run from your fear's face them head on and they're not as scary anymore. Diana was an amazing person that wasn't afraid to hug people and truly Care. Truly a beautiful Soul.
Docs knew back then that it was not transmitted by touch but people still didn’t wanna touch aids patients because of fear. The gestures she made really showed people that.
The fact that she's the one who initiate to do a hand shake and the patients seems like hesitant because of how people see them with this disease, really that's heartwarming. If all ruler is like her then we can have a better world.
AIDS normalization has been a problem in later pandemics. For example, monkeypox is spread by skin contact and is largely in the gay community, but if you shake monkeypox patient's hand you are at risk to get it. The normalization is not worth it...
I hugged someone that had AIDS, and he told me that it made him feel like people care about him. That made me cry, because it doesn't cost anything to show compassion.
It’s true but still most don’t. I’m homeless people say the meanest most horrid things to me everyday just because they can see and tell I’m homeless I don’t even beg or ask for anything. It’s sick.
I mean those are the rules however he is not a patient, he was a nurse at the hospital so also was hiv positive. He's a hero who put in a ton of work to remove the false stigma about the spread of HIV
@Nassan Sousa Silva Lopes no the rest of the staff had their arms loose , the infected with HIV nurse held them behind his back so not to make princess diana be forced to shake his hand. But she initiated and he went with it. Poor soul
@@EughhBrothereughh yeah but if you actually watch it slowly, she always indicates she’s going for a handshake first. It is actually royal protocol that you don’t shake their hand or touch them unless they initiate contact
Princess Diana's handshake was a powerful moment that changed perceptions and educated the world. She was truly ahead of her time and used her influence for good.
@@sallylemon5835 at this time doing such a handshake would be seen as jumping into a fiery pit of lava . No matter who tells u it's fine and you'll live ud never do it especially without hesitation this is what made that action so special
Yk I usually don’t like comments like these, as a Christian, but I totally do understand why you said this for Princess Diana. She was an amazing person.
queen of the world’s hearts. she was an angel living alongside us, and i will never be able to deal with the fact that i will never be able to tell her how much of an impact she had on my life? and how grateful i am for her- even with her short time in the royal spotlight.
I kissed my friend who was dying of aids and he told me it made him feel human for a brief moment. He told me that nobody would touch him anymore and that hurt me. Everyone needs human touch. He died shortly after. This was just a beautiful woman who cared with her whole heart. I will always love Diana.
“HIV does not make people dangerous to know. You can shake their hands and give them a hug. Heaven knows they need it” -Princess Diana I’m so sorry for your loss, that’s such a horrible way to go I hope you are doing ok and that they will never be forgotten
that tiny millisecond of hesitation before he puts his hand out breaks my heart. everyone else was ready (or at least hoping) to shake her hand. he was ready to be ignored.
@@AC-mp7cx she broke the stigma with this, which is just as important of a progress in the public understanding of the disease. That's all this video is about, no need to get worked up.
@@AC-mp7cx it's not about the disease itself. The thought it was contagious by touch was just a rumor, the reason people were shunned, disowned, left to fend for themselves is because it was primarily spreading through the gay community (because of the terrible sex education available at the time). It was seen as a punishment from God and anyone who showed mercy were "God did not" was feared to be subjected to the same punishment. Princess Diana did more than just show that it wasn't contagious by touch, what she did is show mercy and compassion and treated these men like human beings, scared and alone, desperate for help and not the refuse thrown out by the divine that the rest of society saw them as. This isn't about the disease, this is about the homophobia that let the disease kill so many. Watch some of the political interviews on aids at the time. It's 90% people laughing and celebrating the death of these people. They're not scared of the disease, they're happy for it.
The man at the end of the video who shook her hand is actually a nurse. His name is Shane Snape and he was also diagnosed with HIV. He gave a short interview and was the only openly diagnosed, gay man during this whole televised thing. No one wanted to show their faces on camera (understandably) but he wanted to openly talk about the diagnosis and destigmatize it. He is a hero too.
This disease took so many of our lgbt+ family away.. and so many did nothing to help because of the hatred towards gay people at the time.. I’m glad he was interviewed and represented us back then..
@@grandmaster6215What, making eye contact and not looking completely disinterested/disgusted is flirting now? God forbid someone looks a person in the face whilst listening to them.
Some things she did makes me wonder was she going things to purposefully show the establishment how dare devil she was but also I still see her compassion too
She was such an incredible person, from everything I’ve seen and read about her, I wasn’t alive when she was in her prime, and before her death, but damn, I miss her, and I wasn’t even alive when she died.
@@AC-mp7cxit was well known that hiv couldn’t be spread simply by touching back then. People just didn’t want to know it. They wanted to treat aids patients like lepers
Doesn't matter who's named the Queen at the moment. Diana will always be the Queen of hearts. She might have not lived long enough but she made sure she created a special place for herself in our hearts with her kind deeds she performed in such a short period of time when she was a princess.
@@Pack_Watch handshake in the era where people believed AIDS could spread through touching an infected person and by just a handshake she broke the stigma.
My father was a combat medic and the amount of times I’ve seen him cry can be counted on one hand. I remember him telling me a story about working at a naval hospital in the 80’s and a man dying from AIDS just wanted someone to hug him and my father regretted not doing it.
When the AIDS epidemic happened my professor was a pastor at the time. He used to get calls from hospital staff asking him to come down to the hospital and comfort people who were about to pass from AIDS. They called him because they knew no one else would come. These were young people who would otherwise die alone. He would come and hold their hands, pray with them, and stay by their side until they passed. He was crying the whole time he talked about it. I’ll never forget that.
That is absolutely wonderful, God bless him. We always hear all of the awful news stories and pastors and priests, when in reality so many are right there being with people who have no one else (prisons, hospice care etc)
She changed the world with that one handshake where families were abandoning loved ones when they had HIV/Aids. I truly wish she was alive and be our queen. Her kindness truly had no boundaries and it will live on.
This meant so, so much. Men were dying alone because no one would touch them, not even nurses at the hospital. It was horrible. She helped make them human to people again.
Are you under the impression that makes it okay? Yes, most of the people who died of AIDS then were gay men. I didn't think that was the most important part of the story, but it sure was a good part of why so many people were happy about it. I'm in the next generation down - the men we lost would have been my father figures when I came into community ten years later, but they were gone by then.
This is incredible. It must have felt so dehumanizing for people to avoid you like the plague and for her to just reach out and treat them like anyone else ❤ she was a treasure
They didn't want to do it. It was seen as a side you were gay - which at the time was humiliating. All The patients on the ward wanted to hide from the cameras to protect themselves and their families identities. It actually took a lot to get the picture without the face.
@@oxnyxws Ah yes. Some random on the internet who never lived through those times. With the amazing source of "Trust me Bro". Never mind that handshaking is a universal symbol of peace or coming to an agreement/accord with someone. Its also used as a sign of respect and in business dealings especially in Asian Countries. But sure man. Its totally seen as a "Gay" gesture to shake hands back in the day. Like just one to tell this is absolute BS is that the Predator Handshake exists. Two buff dudes putting their hands together. Amazing the delusions some people like you can make up in your mind to explain a video not showing someones face.
They used to bring in people with aids to school to warn us about drugs and sex. One speaker mentioned how everyone avoids touching them. Fears the smallest form of contact. I asked him if I could give him a hug. The smile on his face broke my heart. He said "I haven't been hugged in years".
That woman was incredible I can imagine how that man felt after being treated like an actual human being, due to how dangerous a single handshake was thought to be back then.
@@victorcolt she did know. That hospital is for aids antithetical she was in tha wing of the hospital. And even if she didn't know that handshake still made a whole.lot difference to these people.
notice how he didn't even lift his hand at first like the others did, because he wasn't expecting such an acknowledgement - it wasn't done. what diana did here is incredible.
I remember when she died. I was 10. I have never seen an outpouring of national grief like that ever. I recall my mum waking me up to tell me and she cried. It was a travesty. Such a beautiful soul.
I was 12. I asked my Dad to take me to see her funeral because I admired her, wanted to pay my respects, and knew that it would be a momentous part of history that I wanted to see. I’ve only seen my father cry three times in my life (as in, a tear stream down his cheek, not bawling or anything - he’s not one to show his emotions), but he cried then. His older brother had died, and he said that it reminded him of that. Everyone around me, thousands of people, were sobbing in utter grief.
@@PatternLand the “influence” she has outside of her country would only be business and she would be either used or ignored because of her wealth and ignorance. Her “influence” in government is practically zero even if she had became Queen.
I was only a little girl when this happened; only four years old, and the impact of this handshake was so monumental, that it still is so clear in my memory. I remember what this meant for that man and for the world and for all AIDS patients. My mum was a nurse, so I understood a lot, medically, and very early in life. God rest her soul. She truly was the peoples Princess💕🌺
She’s the only royal that tends to speak about that stuff. Prince Andrew did some VERY shady things which I won’t specify but he was involved in some pretty bad things
@@HelenWA it definitely wasn’t an accident. All governments cover up things. There was this girl who knew all this dirt on celebs and she got “sick” randomly. She had dirt on ex presidents such as bill Clinton and she suddenly died
I met a Diana once. I jokingly asked if she was named after Princess Diana. She said she was because her mom loves the Princess. She was one of the sweetest person I've ever built up the courage to speak to. She was beautiful. Her asking me "tell me more" still lives in my head with her accent. I was so taken back from it that i had to ask her "really?!". Wow, she was different, i felt. I wish i had spent more time talking to her before she left.
Her love & compassion for others is what made her shine! She was such a special Princess & would have made an awesome & epic queen. May she Rest In Peace. 💜💕❤️🙏🌈💜💕❤️🙏🌈
Before this moment many people were ignorant to the fact that you couldn’t catch aids just from touching someone. Her doing that changed the course of this mindset forever, she was a gem who didn’t judge anyone
In 87 people still thought you can catch AIDS from breathing the same air as an AIDS patient. The simple act of her shaking their hands helped to end the stigma and get people to pay attention to the need for medicine and AIDS education.
Princess Diana 👑was a powerful supporter to people who was terribly sick. Diana gave them understanding and pride in themselves. Princess Diana face, she looks so concerned about them all. ♥️Diana, the world’s, Queen of Hearts.
My grandfather was a doctor and when he had aids patients he would literally just give them a hug and they would cry because they weren’t getting touched at all anymore because people thought they would catch it.
This is one of the MANY reasons she was labeled "The People's Princess" The absolute epitome of Royalty and class! A dearly loved and dearly missed Princess!
I just love how she was like “why am I being awarded for shaking someone’s hand when they have AIDS. They are a human and I was willing to ‘risk’ it.” I LOVE HERR
My dad grew up in a remote town in Greece and doesnt speak a single word in English, he has no idea who any outside celebrities are, yet he knew about this handshake "Princess Diana shook hands with people who had AIDS" he used to tell me. THATS how impactful and historical this moment was.
I remember how big of a deal this was, by her doing this at the time; she humanized AIDS patients everywhere. Such a beautiful woman inside and out, her presence is truly missed.
Not a lot of people understand the power in what she did here. At the time people were so ignorant and believe you could “catch” AIDS by touching someone who was positive. Clearly that’s not true and someone of her stature shaking his hand was a really big deal. 💜💜💜

She did it with no hesitation either… I mean he actually looked surprised and didn’t even think she would and was even reluctant. That’s so powerful!
Я думаю, это связано с тем, что у нее было действительно медицинские данные, которым она доверяла, как образованный человек
People weren't reluctant to shake her hand, she shaked lots of hands and gave hugs. They were reluctant to be photographed as an AIDS patient.
This man in the photo is the only person who agreed to be photographed shaking her hand (and only from behind) because nobody wanted people to know they had AIDS.
One of the patients she hugged said that it was the first time anyone hugged them since their diagnosis. Your own family wouldn't touch you out of fear of catching it.
@@Yamezzzz I agree but I think you missed my point….. like he seemed reluctant for her sake bc of the stigma he had received previously and her kindness disarmed him.

pretty sure the nurses are aware that it won't spread through touch. To me it looked like she was listening to him and her speak and just didn't know where to look with her eyes, thus looking into the distance.

Apart from being brave, Princess Diana is also knowledgeable to let everyone know you can't get aids from handshakes alone. ❤️
Even when it is proven, some people get scared to even touch
Back then not many people knew I don’t think because growing up I heard this a lot from peers or even out of adults mouths (not even just adults I know but random people especially the political ones) Once I got older is when I learned what’s what it was a weird time.
@@lovleyloner1487 so at this point in time (1987) it had been known for quite some time that HIV was sexually transmitted. But much of the public was still very ignorant on the disease as western political leaders intentionally ignored the epidemic for a near decade because the disease was killing almost exclusively gay men.
If their blood mixed with a cut on each of their hands then there’s a possibility she could. It can be passed through broken skin, so yea this handshake could have been deadly or given her HIV which then can lead to AIDS. So y’all better educate and realize it’s blood borne not just sexually transmitted. Hence why a nurse would need and HIV test if stuck with a needle that was used on a positive patient.
@@lawless8850 I implore you to scour the internet for one incidence of HIV transmission from an open wound to wound handshake. No shit it “could” happen, but it’s as misleading as saying you could get HIV from a toilet seat if you had cuts on your legs and sat in blood. It’s unrealistic and never going to happen.
That nurse looked so disgusted. Im disappointed in her. R.i.p. Diana❤❤
She wasn't even scared, she was sooo brave😭
I'm sure she was scared; she just had a different priority

I still know people who refuse to hug a family member because they have AIDS. (It's Heartbreaking)If something scares you find out as much as possible about it.

The bittersweet part is that the patient didn't expect that handshake. He only raised his hand after she indicated her intention.

Princess Diana's handshake was a powerful moment that changed perceptions and educated the world. She was truly ahead of her time and used her influence for good.
There was no tinge of hesitation to her eyes and to her handshakes as well. She was really the epitome of grace and beauty.
For sure she got enough consultations by medical experts beforehand. Even right here she's escorted by a trained nurse.

@@AC-mp7cx she broke the stigma with this, which is just as important of a progress in the public understanding of the disease. That's all this video is about, no need to get worked up.
@@AC-mp7cx it's not about the disease itself. The thought it was contagious by touch was just a rumor, the reason people were shunned, disowned, left to fend for themselves is because it was primarily spreading through the gay community (because of the terrible sex education available at the time). It was seen as a punishment from God and anyone who showed mercy were "God did not" was feared to be subjected to the same punishment. Princess Diana did more than just show that it wasn't contagious by touch, what she did is show mercy and compassion and treated these men like human beings, scared and alone, desperate for help and not the refuse thrown out by the divine that the rest of society saw them as. This isn't about the disease, this is about the homophobia that let the disease kill so many. Watch some of the political interviews on aids at the time. It's 90% people laughing and celebrating the death of these people. They're not scared of the disease, they're happy for it.

When the AIDS epidemic happened my professor was a pastor at the time. He used to get calls from hospital staff asking him to come down to the hospital and comfort people who were about to pass from AIDS. They called him because they knew no one else would come. These were young people who would otherwise die alone. He would come and hold their hands, pray with them, and stay by their side until they passed. He was crying the whole time he talked about it. I’ll never forget that.
That is absolutely wonderful, God bless him. We always hear all of the awful news stories and pastors and priests, when in reality so many are right there being with people who have no one else (prisons, hospice care etc)

I’ve only seen my father cry three times in my life (as in, a tear stream down his cheek, not bawling or anything - he’s not one to show his emotions), but he cried then. His older brother had died, and he said that it reminded him of that. Everyone around me, thousands of people, were sobbing in utter grief.

Before this moment many people were ignorant to the fact that you couldn’t catch aids just from touching someone. Her doing that changed the course of this mindset forever, she was a gem who didn’t judge anyone
In 87 people still thought you can catch AIDS from breathing the same air as an AIDS patient. The simple act of her shaking their hands helped to end the stigma and get people to pay attention to the need for medicine and AIDS education.
seeing how much she accomplished in her life makes you wonder what else she could’ve done if her life hadn’t been ended tragically short

Bless those people. They went through so much. Diana was so kind and made them feel, and realize, that they were human again.
I just love how she was like “why am I being awarded for shaking someone’s hand when they have AIDS. They are a human and I was willing to ‘risk’ it.”
I LOVE HERR
Princess Diana is the most down to earth person I've ever heard of in my entire life..
That's what happens when you don't read your bible
Lolololololo A fake princess is your idol
@Avalanchee bro, the only reason said that was she is not the most down to earth person ever there has been, I know she was humble a spirit
She was bipolar and had bpd. She was definitely not "down to earth"
Respect her for this, we need more people like her
My dad grew up in a remote town in Greece and doesnt speak a single word in English, he has no idea who any outside celebrities are, yet he knew about this handshake "Princess Diana shook hands with people who had AIDS" he used to tell me. THATS how impactful and historical this moment was.
I remember how big of a deal this was, by her doing this at the time; she humanized AIDS patients everywhere. Such a beautiful woman inside and out, her presence is truly missed.
