Princess Diana: Emotional security matters more than wealth

Princess Diana said: 'I don't want expensive gifts; I don't want to be bought. I have everything I want. I just want someone to be there for me, to make me feel safe and secure.'

The quote draws a line between material comfort and emotional security, which money cannot replicate.

Diana rejected the assumption that generosity measured in money equals real affection, calling such affection a transaction.

Presence in the quote means genuine dependability, especially during difficult moments, not just physical proximity.

The line is recorded in 'Princess Diana: The Book of Love,' published in 1997.
