Renae Plant is the director and curator of the award-winning virtual and interactive museum, “The Princess Diana Museum,” which holds the largest collection of Princess Diana’s most iconic personal belongings, spanning her entire lifetime. Plant was fortunate to meet Princess Diana, not once, but twice in her homeland Australia. The first time was on a primary school field trip, where Princess Diana dropped a tiny clay platypus. Plant wholeheartedly tried to return the curio, but to no avail. Perhaps, that was meant to be, as this simple token shaped Plant’s ethos.
Princess Diana’s kind and philanthropic acts resonated with Plant, who created “The Princess & the Platypus Foundation,” a non-profit to raise funds for children’s charities in her honor. When not preserving and promoting Princess Diana’s legacy, Plant co-owns and operates the Los Angeles-based, Camelot Kids Child and Development Center, along with her husband, Livinio, and three children Ilan, Mateo, and Deklan. In 2015, Plant was recognized for her charity work within the field of child education by the U.S. Congress, and honored as a “28th Congressional District Woman of the Year.”
