Lady Diana Spencer

Diana, Princess of Wales (born Diana Frances Spencer; 1 July 1961 – 31 August 1997) was a member of the British royal family. She was the youngest daughter of John Spencer, 8th Earl Spencer, and Frances Shand Kydd.

In 1981, Lady Di was made Princess of Walles preceding his marriage to Charles, Prince of Wales. The couple had two children: Prince William, Duke of Cambridge (b.1982) and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex (b.1984).

Diana's marriage to Charles, however, suffered due to their incompatibility and extramarital affairs. They separated in 1992, soon after the breakdown of their relationship became public knowledge. The details of their marital difficulties became increasingly publicised, and the marriage ended in divorce in 1996.

Diana died in a car crash in Paris in 1997, which led to extensive public mourning and media attention.

Birth and baptism
Princess Diana was born in the village of Sandringham, in Norfolk County, England, on July 1, 1961. From an aristocratic family, she was the daughter of Edward John Spencer, eighth Earl Spencer and Frances Ruth Burke, daughter of Fermy's fourth baron. Her parents divorced when Diana was 8 years old. The couple disputed the custody of the children in court, which was granted to the father.

Education
Diana studied at Riddlesworth Hal Schooll, where she excelled in music and dance classes. She joined West Heath Girl’s School in Kent. She was a student at West Heath for five years. In 1977 she went to Switzerland where she completed her studies at the Institut Alpin Videmanett.

Marige and Divorce
Since she was a child, Diana had participated in the life of the British royal family. From 1978, Diana and her sisters were constantly invited to birthdays and other activities together with the family. From then on, Diana and Charles were always seen together. On February 6, 1980, Charles proposed to Diana. On February 24, 1981, Buckingham Palace announced their engagement. On July 29, 1981, Lady Diana and Prince Charles were married in St Paul's Cathedral in London, in a ceremony for 3,500 guests. The sumptuous event was broadcast on television all over the world.

Since the end of the 1980s, the first rumors about a possible separation from the couple began, which was confirmed on December 9, 1992, when the couple formally separated. The cause of the separation would be a relationship that Charles had with his ex-girlfriend Camila Parker-Bowles. The divorce was only finalized on August 28, 1996. With the separation, Diana lost the treatment of Royal Highness and became the “Princess of Wales”. She continued to live in Kensington Palace and began to share custody of her children with her ex-husband.

Death
On the night of August 31, 1997, when Diana was traveling by car with her boyfriend, Dodi Al Fayed, heir to the chain of Harrods stores, she was chased by paparazzi suffering a serious car accident in Paris, which took both their lives. The princess' body was buried on an island, in the middle of an artificial lake, called the Oval lake, located in the region of the lands of Althorp, also known as The Gardens of Pleasures.

Diana died in Paris, France, on August 31, 1997. Prazeres.
