Then on the eve of the unveiling of this new variety in 1997 came the sudden news of Princess Diana's death in an auto accident. To commemorate Diana's travels around the world to visit poor and sick children, Chen dubbed this yellow-skinned, red-fleshed, sweet and alluring watermelon "Diana" after her beautiful blonde hair.
這款新品種在 1997 年發表前夕，驚傳英國黛安娜王妃車禍身亡，有感於黛妃生前經常到世界各國探視貧病兒童，為了紀念她那頭俏麗金髮，陳文郁特地將這款黃皮紅肉、甜香誘人的西瓜取名「黛安娜」。
