Diana Frances Spencer aka Lady Diana was born on July 1, 1961, she was a member of the British royal family.
Lady Diana was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales, the heir apparent to the British throne, and the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry.
She came to prominence in 1981 upon her engagement to Prince Charles, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II, after a brief courtship.
Her marriage to Charles, however, suffered due to their incompatibility and extramarital affairs. The couple separated in 1992, soon after the breakdown of their relationship became public knowledge.
The details of their marital difficulties became increasingly publicized, and the marriage ended in divorce in 1996.
On 31 August 1997, Diana died in a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel. The crash also resulted in the deaths of her companion Dodi Fayed and the driver. The televised funeral, on 6 September, was watched by a British television audience that peaked at 32.10 million, which was one of the United Kingdom’s highest viewing figures ever. Millions more watched the event around the world.
