1. Born as Diana Frances Spencer on July 1, 1961, she was the fourth child and third daughter of John Spencer and his first wife, Frances Ruth Burke Roche. She grew up at the family home, Park House, near Althorp, Northamptonshire, England.
- Princess Diana married Prince Charles, the heir apparent to Queen Elizabeth II, on July 29, 1981. Their wedding was a global spectacle watched by over 750 million people worldwide and is considered one of the most-watched television broadcasts in history.
She was affectionately referred to as “The People’s Princess” due to her humanitarian work, approachable demeanor, and openness about her struggles with mental health issues, which resonated deeply with the public.
Princess Diana was involved in numerous charitable causes throughout her life. Her most notable endeavors include her advocacy for AIDS awareness and patients, anti-landmine campaigns, and her support of organizations such as The Leprosy Mission, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, and Centrepoint homeless charity.
Princess Diana’s separation from Prince Charles in 1992 and their eventual divorce in 1996 marked a turning point in the royal family’s image. She continued her philanthropic work post-divorce until her untimely death in 1997.
Princess Diana passed away on August 31, 1997, in a car accident in Paris. The public mourned her deeply, with millions turning out for her funeral at Westminster Abbey on September 6, 1997. She left behind two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, who have since carried on their mother’s work and legacy.
