From 100 Charities, She now Focuses On Six LONDON (CNN) ~ Britain's Princess July 16, 1996. Diana resigned Tuesday as patron of nearly 100 charities including a marriage counseling group because of her divorce, scheduled to be finalized next month. Diana quit all but six because of the "change in her status," according to a statement issued by a British news agency. With her divorce, Diana loses the title "Her Royal Highness," although she remains Princess of Wales. She resigned to allow the charities to find another royal patron, according to the statement. She is sticking only with the English National Ballet; a leprosy mission connected to Mother Teresa; the national AIDS organization; a homeless charity; and two London hospitals the Royal Marsden for cancer patients and Great Ormond Street for children. |
