Sandra Tigica met Diana as a child. She was around 13 years old and at an orthopedic center in Luanda, Angola, after losing a leg to a landmine. The princess stayed with her while she was being measured for a prosthesis. 🥺

In 2019, Prince Harry reunited with Sandra during his visit to Angola. She was already a mother of five; one of her daughters was named Diana in honor of the princess. ¡HOLA! and La Vanguardia report on the tribute, but do not confirm that Diana gave her a prosthesis: the text says she stayed with Sandra while she was being measured. That encounter was thus commemorated in her daughter’s name. 💛
