Well, the issue isn't really whether how respected or good someone is (Hitler and Stalin were both on the list) but how much influence they had on the world. Princess Diana, really nice person that she may have been, really will have no important effect on history. She especially didn't deserve to be above such figures as Elizabeth I.
