Diana was a Spencer and thus also "of the aristocracy", at the end of the day.

I think you are just generalising too much. Diana was a very compassionate person...its why she was called the Peoples Princess. People related to her for her compassion and natural behaviour...how she interacted with her children in front of the camera..she was just a natural and caring woman and they adored her. You never saw or witnessed or heard of any pomp or aristocratic behaviour from her.
