the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales. Their sons, Princes William and Harry,[3] are second
and third in line to the throne of the United Kingdom and fifteen other Commonwealth Realms.
A public figure from the announcement of her engagement to Prince Charles, Diana remained
the focus of worldwide media scrutiny before, during and after her marriage. This continued in
the years following her death in a car crash and in the subsequent display of public mourning.
Contemporary responses to Diana's life and legacy are mixed but popular interest with the
Princess endures.

Early life
Diana was the youngest daughter of John Spencer, Viscount Althorp (later the 8th Earl Spencer)
who was of British descent and Frances Spencer, Viscountess Althorp (formerly the Honourable
Frances Burke Roche, and later Frances Shand Kydd) who was of English and Irish descent. She
was born at Park House, Sandringham in Norfolk, England on 1 July 1961, and was baptised on
30 August 1961 at St. Mary Magdalene Church by the Rt. Rev. Percy Herbert (rector of the
church and former Bishop of Norwich and Blackburn), with godparents that included John Floyd
(the chairman of Christie's). She was the fourth child to the couple, with older sisters Sarah (born
19 March 1955) and Jane (born 11 February 1957), as well as an infant brother, The Honourable
John Spencer (born and died on 12 January 1960). The heir to the Spencer titles and estates, her
younger brother, Charles, was born three years after her on 20 May 1964.
Following her parents' acrimonious divorce in 1969 (over Lady Althorp's affair with wallpaper
heir Peter Shand Kydd), Diana's mother took her and her younger brother to live in an apartment
in London's Knightsbridge, where Diana attended a local day school. Every Christmas, the
Spencer children returned to Norfolk with their mother, and Lord Althorp subsequently refused
to allow them to return to London. Lady Althorp sued for custody, but her mother's testimony
during the trial against her contributed to the court awarding custody of Diana and her brother to
their father. On 14 July 1976, Lord Spencer married Raine, Countess of Dartmouth, the only
daughter of romantic novelist Barbara Cartland and Alexander McCorquodale, after he was
named as the "other party" in the Dartmouths' divorce. During this time Diana travelled between
her parents' homes. Her father inherited the earldom and Spencer seat in Althorp,
Northamptonshire on 9 June 1975, and her mother moved to the Island of Seil on the west coast
of Scotland. Diana, like her siblings, did not get along with her stepmother.
Royal descent
On her father's side, she was a descendant of King Charles II of England through four
illegitimate sons:
• Henry Fitzroy, 1st Duke of Grafton, son by Barbara Villiers, 1st Duchess of Cleveland
• Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond and Lennox, son by Louise de Kérouaille
• Charles Beauclerk, 1st Duke of St Albans, son by Nell Gwyn
 • James Crofts-Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, leader of the famous Monmouth Rebellion in
1685, son by Lucy Walter
She was also a descendant of King James II of England through an illegitimate daughter,
Henrietta FitzJames, by his mistress Arabella Churchill. On her mother's side, Diana was Irish
and Scottish, as well as a descendant of American heiress Frances Work, her mother's
grandmother and namesake, from whom the considerable Roche fortune was derived.[citation needed]
The Spencers had been close to the British Royal Family for centuries, rising in royal favour
during the 1600s. Diana's maternal grandmother, Ruth, Lady Fermoy, was a long-time friend and
a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. Her father had served as an equerry to
King George VI and to Queen Elizabeth II.
In August 2009, the New England Historic Genealogical Society published Richard K. Evans's
The Ancestry of Diana, Princess of Wales, for Twelve Generations.
From her marriage in 1981 to her divorce in 1996 she was styled Her Royal Highness the
Princess of Wales. She was generally called "Princess Diana" by the media despite having no
legal right to that particular honorific, as it is reserved for a princess by birthright rather than
marriage.
Education
Diana was first educated at Silfield School, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, then at Riddlesworth Hall in
Norfolk, and at West Heath Girls' School (later reorganised as the The New School at West
Heath) in Sevenoaks, Kent, where she was regarded as a poor student, having attempted and
failed all of her O-levels twice.[4] Her outstanding community spirit was recognised with an
award from West Heath. In 1977, at the age of 16, she left West Heath and briefly attended
Institut Alpin Videmanette, a finishing school in Rougemont, Switzerland. At about that time,
she first met her future husband, who was then dating her eldest sister, Lady Sarah. Diana
reportedly excelled in swimming and diving, and longed to be a professional ballerina with the
Royal Ballet. She studied ballet for a time, but then grew to 5'10", far too tall for the profession.
Diana moved to London before she turned seventeen, living in her mother's flat, as her mother
then spent most of the year in Scotland. Soon afterward an apartment was purchased for £50,000
as an 18th birthday present, at Coleherne Court in Earls Court. She lived there until 1981 with
three flatmates.
In London she took an advanced cooking course at her mother's suggestion, although she never
became an adroit cook, and worked first as a dance instructor for youth, until a skiing accident
caused her to miss three months of work. She then found employment as a playgroup (pre-
preschool) assistant, did some cleaning work for her sister Sarah and several of her friends, and
worked as a hostess at parties.[5]
Relationship with the Prince of Wales
Prince Charles, Diana and Sandro Pertini.
Prince Charles had previously been linked to Diana's older sister Sarah, and to Davina Sheffield,
Scottish heiress Anna Wallace, the Honourable Amanda Knatchbull (granddaughter of Louis
Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma), actress Susan George, Lady Jane Wellesley,
heiress Sabrina Guinness and Camilla Shand, inter alia.[6] In his early thirties, he was under
increasing pressure to marry. Under the Royal Marriages Act 1772, his marriage required the
Queen's formal consent. Under the Act of Settlement 1701, royals must marry within the Church
of England or forfeit their place in the order of succession to the throne. Diana's aristocratic
descent, Church of England faith, presumed virginity and native Englishness appeared to render
her a suitable royal bride.
Prince Charles had known Diana for several years, but he first took a serious interest in her as a
potential bride during the summer of 1980, when they were guests at a country weekend, where
she watched him play polo. The relationship developed as he invited her for a sailing weekend to
Cowes aboard the royal yacht Britannia, followed by an invitation to Balmoral (the Royal
Family's Scottish residence) to meet his family. There, Diana was well received by Queen
Elizabeth II, by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and by the Queen Mother. The couple
subsequently courted in London. The Prince proposed on 6 February 1981, and Diana accepted,
but their engagement was kept secret for the next few weeks.[7]
Engagement and wedding
Main article: Wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer
Their engagement became official on 24 February 1981, after Diana selected a large £30,000
ring consisting of 14 diamonds surrounding a sapphire, similar to her mother's engagement ring.
[8]
20-year-old Diana became The Princess of Wales when she married Charles on 29 July 1981
at St Paul's Cathedral, which offered more seating than Westminster Abbey, generally used for
royal nuptials. It was widely billed as a "fairytale wedding," watched by a global television
audience of 750 million.[8][9] At the altar Diana accidentally reversed the order of Charles's
names, saying Philip Charles Arthur George instead.[10] She did not say that she would "obey"
him; that traditional vow was left out at the couple's request, which caused some comment at the
time.[11] Diana wore a dress valued at £9000 with a 25-foot (8-metre) train. [12] The couple's
wedding cake was created by Belgian pastry chef S. G. Sender, who was known as the
"cakemaker to the kings."[13]
Children
On 5 November 1981, Diana's first pregnancy was officially announced, and she frankly
discussed her pregnancy with members of the press corps.[14] In the private Lindo Wing of St.
Mary's Hospital, Paddington on 21 June 1982, Diana gave birth to her and Prince Charles's first
son and heir, William.[15] Among some media, she decided to take William, still a baby, on her
first major overseas visit to Australia and New Zealand, but the decision was popularly
applauded. By her own admission, Diana had not initially intended to bring William until it was
suggested by the Australian Prime Minister.[16]
A second son, Harry, was born about two years after William on 15 September 1984.[17] Diana
asserted that she and Prince Charles were closest during her pregnancy with "Harry", as the
younger prince became known. She was aware their second child was a boy, but did not share
the knowledge with anyone else, including Prince Charles.
She was universally regarded as a devoted and demonstrative mother.[18] However, she rarely
deferred to Prince Charles or to the Royal Family, and was often intransigent when it came to the
children. She chose their first given names, defied the royal custom of circumcision, dismissed a
royal family nanny and engaged one of her own choosing, in addition to selecting their schools
and clothing, planning their outings and taking them to school herself as often as her schedule
permitted. She also negotiated her public duties around their timetables.[18]
Charity work
Though in 1983 she confided in Premier of Newfoundland Brian Peckford: "I am finding it very
difficult to cope with the pressures of being Princess of Wales, but I am learning to cope,"[19]
from the mid-1980s, the Princess of Wales became increasingly associated with numerous
charities. As Princess of Wales she was expected to visit hospitals, schools, etc., in the 20th-
century model of royal patronage. Diana developed an intense interest in serious illnesses and
health-related matters outside the purview of traditional royal involvement, including AIDS and
leprosy. In addition, the Princess was the patroness of charities and organizations working with
the homeless, youth, drug addicts and the elderly. From 1989, she was President of Great
Ormond Street Hospital for Children.
During her final year, Diana lent highly visible support to the International Campaign to Ban
Landmines, a campaign that went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 after her death.[20]
Problems and separation

From left to right, Prince Charles and the Princess of Wales, the United States First Lady Nancy
Reagan, and United States President Ronald Reagan in November 1985.
During the early 1990s, the marriage of Diana and Charles fell apart, an event at first suppressed,
then sensationalised, by the world media. Both the Prince and Princess of Wales allegedly spoke
to the press through friends, each blaming the other for the marriage's demise.
The chronology of the break-up[21] identifies reported difficulties between Charles and Diana as
early as 1985. During 1986, Prince Charles turned again to his former girlfriend, Camilla Shand,
who had become Camilla Parker-Bowles, wife of Andrew Parker-Bowles. This affair was
exposed in May 1992 with the publication of Diana: Her True Story, by Andrew Morton. The
book, which also laid bare Diana's allegedly suicidal unhappiness, caused a media storm. This
publication was followed during 1992 and 1993 by leaked tapes of telephone conversations
which negatively reflected on both the royal antagonists. Transcripts of taped intimate
conversations between Diana and James Gilbey were published by the Sun newspaper in Britain
in August 1992. The article's title, "Squidgygate", referenced Gilbey's affectionate nickname for
Diana. Next to surface, in November 1992, were the leaked "Camillagate" tapes, intimate
exchanges between Charles and Camilla, published in Today and the Mirror newspapers.
In the meantime, rumours had begun to surface about Diana's relationship with Major James
Hewitt, her former riding instructor. These would be brought into the open by the publication in
1994 of Princess in Love.
In December 1992, Prime Minister John Major announced the Wales' "amicable separation" to
the House of Commons,.[22] and the full Camillagate transcript was published a month later in the
newspapers, in January 1993. On 3 December 1993, Diana announced her withdrawal from
public life.[23] Charles sought public understanding via a televised interview with Jonathan
Dimbleby on 29 June 1994. In this he confirmed his own extramarital affair with Camilla, saying
that he had only rekindled their association in 1986, after his marriage to the Princess of Wales
had "irretrievably broken down."[24][25]
While she blamed Camilla Parker-Bowles for her marital troubles, Diana at some point began to
believe Charles had other affairs. In October 1993 Diana wrote to a friend that she believed her
husband was now in love with Tiggy Legge-Bourke and wanted to marry her.[26] Legge-Bourke
had been hired by Prince Charles as a young companion for his sons while they were in his care,
and Diana was extremely resentful of Legge-Bourke and her relationship with the young princes.
Divorce

Diana at the Cannes film festival in 1987

Diana was interviewed in a BBC Panorama interview[27] with journalist Martin Bashir, broadcast
on 20 November 1995. In it, Diana asserted of Hewitt, "Yes, I loved him. Yes, I adored him." Of
Camilla, she claimed "There were three of us in this marriage." For herself, she said "I'd like to
be a queen of people's hearts." On Charles's suitability for kingship, she said: "Because I know
the character I would think that the top job, as I call it, would bring enormous limitations to him,
and I don't know whether he could adapt to that."[28]
In December 1995, the Queen asked Charles and Diana for "an early divorce," as a direct result
of Diana's Panorama interview.[29] This followed shortly after Diana's accusation that Tiggy
Legge-Bourke had aborted Charles's child, after which Legge-Bourke instructed Peter Carter-
Ruck to demand an apology.[29] Two days before this story broke, Diana's secretary Patrick
Jephson resigned, later writing Diana had "exulted in accusing Legge-Bourke of having had an
abortion".[30]
On 20 December 1995, Buckingham Palace publicly announced the Queen had sent letters to
Charles and Diana advising them to divorce. The Queen's move was backed by the Prime
Minister and by senior Privy Councillors, and, according to the BBC, was decided after two
weeks of talks.[31] Prince Charles immediately agreed with the suggestion. In February Diana
announced her agreement after negotiations with Prince Charles and representatives of Queen,
irritating Buckingham Palace by issuing her own announcement of a divorce agreement and its
terms.
The divorce was finalised on 28 August 1996.[23]
Diana received a lump sum settlement of around £17 million along with a clause standard in
royal divorces preventing her from discussing the details.[32] Diana and her advisers negotiated
with Charles and his representatives, with Charles reportedly having to liquidate all of his
personal holdings, as well as borrowing from the Queen, to meet her financial demands. The
Royal Family would have preferred an alimony settlement, which would have provided some
degree of control over the erstwhile Princess of Wales.[citation needed]
Days before the decree absolute of divorce, Letters Patent were issued with general rules to
regulate royal titles after divorce. In accordance, as she was no longer married to the Prince of
Wales, Diana lost the style Her Royal Highness and instead was styled Diana, Princess of
Wales.[N 2] Buckingham Palace issued a press release on the day of the decree absolute of divorce
was issued, announcing Diana's change of title.
Buckingham Palace stated Diana was still a member of the Royal Family, as she was the mother
of the second- and third-in-line to the throne, which was confirmed by the Deputy Coroner of the
Queen’s Household, Baroness Butler-Sloss, after a pre-hearing on 8 January 2007: "I am
satisfied that at her death, Diana, Princess of Wales continued to be considered as a member of
the Royal Household."[33] This appears to have been confirmed in the High Court judicial review
matter of Al Fayed & Ors v Butler-Sloss.[34] In that case, three High Court judges accepted
submissions that the "very name ‘Coroner to the Queen’s Household’ gave the appearance of
partiality in the context of inquests into the deaths of two people, one of whom was a member of
the Family and the other was not."[34]
Personal life after divorce
After the divorce, Diana retained her double apartment on the north side of Kensington Palace,
which she had shared with Prince Charles since the first year of their marriage, and it remained
her home until her death.
Diana dated the respected heart surgeon Hasnat Khan, from Jhelum, Pakistan, who was called
"the love of her life" after her death by many of her closest friends, [35] for almost two years,
before Khan ended the relationship.[36][37] Khan was intensely private and the relationship was
conducted in secrecy, with Diana lying to members of the press who questioned her about it.
Khan was from a traditional Pakistani family who expected him to marry from a related Muslim
clan, and although Diana expressed willingness to convert to Islam, their differences, not only
religion, became too much for Khan. According to Khan's testimonial at the inquest for her
death, it was Diana herself, not Khan, who ended their relationship in a late-night meeting in
Hyde Park, which adjoins the grounds of Kensington Palace, in June 1997.
Within a month Diana had begun dating Dodi Al-Fayed, son of her host that summer, Mohamed
Al-Fayed. Diana had considered taking her sons that summer on a holiday to the Hamptons on
Long Island, New York, but security officials had prevented it. After deciding against a trip to
Thailand, she accepted Fayed's invitation to join his family on the south of France, where his
compound and large security detail would not cause concern to the Royal Protection squad.
Mohamed Al-Fayed bought a multi-million pound yacht on which to entertain the princess and
her sons.
Landmines
In January 1997, pictures of the Princess touring an Angolan minefield in a ballistic helmet and
flak jacket were seen worldwide. It was during this campaign that some accused the Princess of
meddling in politics and declared her a 'loose cannon.'[38] In August 1997, just days before her
death, she visited Bosnia with the Landmine Survivors Network. Her interest in landmines was
focused on the injuries they create, often to children, long after a conflict is over.
She is believed to have influenced the signing, though only after her death, of the Ottawa Treaty,
which created an international ban on the use of anti-personnel landmines.[39] Introducing the
Second Reading of the Landmines Bill 1998 to the British House of Commons, the Foreign
Secretary, Robin Cook, paid tribute to Diana's work on landmines:
All Honourable Members will be aware from their postbags of the immense
contribution made by Diana, Princess of Wales to bringing home to many of our
constituents the human costs of landmines. The best way in which to record our
appreciation of her work, and the work of NGOs that have campaigned against
landmines, is to pass the Bill, and to pave the way towards a global ban on
landmines.[40]
The United Nations appealed to the nations which produced and stockpiled the largest numbers
of landmines (United States, China, India, North Korea, Pakistan, and Russia) to sign the Ottawa
Treaty forbidding their production and use, for which Diana had campaigned. Carol Bellamy,
Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), said that landmines
remained "a deadly attraction for children, whose innate curiosity and need for play often lure
them directly into harm's way".[41]
Death
Main article: Death of Diana, Princess of Wales
On 31 August 1997, Diana died in a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris along
with her then boyfriend, Dodi Al-Fayed and the acting security manager of the Hôtel Ritz Paris,
Henri Paul, who was their chauffeur. An estimated 2.5 billion people watched the princess's
funeral.[42]
Conspiracy theories and inquest
Main article: Death of Diana, Princess of Wales conspiracy theories
The initial French judicial investigation concluded that the accident was caused by Henri Paul's
drunken loss of control.[43] From February 1999, Dodi's father, Mohamed Al-Fayed (the owner of
the Paris Ritz, for which Paul had worked) maintained that the crash had been planned,[44]
accusing the MI6 as well as Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.[45] Inquests in London during
2004 and 2007 [46] finally attributed the accident to grossly negligent driving by Henri Paul and
the pursuing paparazzi.[47] The following day Mr. Al-Fayed announced he would end his 10-year
campaign for the sake of the late Princess of Wales' children.
Tribute, funeral, and burial
Main article: Funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales
The sudden and unexpected passing of a very popular royal figure brought statements from
senior figures worldwide and many tributes by members of the public. People left public
offerings of flowers, candles, cards and personal messages outside Kensington Palace for many
months.
Diana's funeral took place in Westminster Abbey on 6 September 1997. The previous day Queen
Elizabeth II had paid tribute to her in a live television broadcast. [48] Her sons, the Princes William
and Harry, walked in the funeral procession behind her coffin, along with the Prince of Wales,
and the Duke of Edinburgh, and with Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer.
Memorials

The first of two memorials to Diana, Princess of Wales, and Dodi Al-Fayed in Harrods.
"Innocent Victims", the second of two memorials in Harrods.
Immediately after her death, many sites around the world became briefly ad hoc memorials to
Diana, where the public left flowers and other tributes. The largest was outside the gates of
Kensington Palace. Permanent memorials include:
• The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Gardens in Regent Centre Gardens Kirkintilloch
• The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park, London opened by
Queen Elizabeth II.
• The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens, London.
• The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Walk, a circular path between Kensington
Gardens, Green Park, Hyde Park and St James's Park, London
In addition, there are two memorials inside Harrods department store, owned by Dodi Al-Fayed's
father Mohamed Al-Fayed, in London. The first memorial consists of photos of the two behind a
pyramid-shaped display that holds a wine glass still smudged with lipstick from Diana's last
dinner as well as an 'engagement' ring Dodi purchased the day before they died.[49] The second,
unveiled in 2005 and titled "Innocent Victims", is a bronze statue of the two dancing on a beach
beneath the wings of an albatross.[50] There is an unofficial memorial in Paris, Place de l'Alma: it
is the flame of liberty, erected here in 1989.
Memorabilia
Following Diana's death, the Diana Memorial Fund was granted intellectual property rights
over her image.[51] In 1998, after refusing the Franklin Mint an official license to produce Diana
merchandise, the fund sued the company, accusing it of illegally selling Diana dolls, plates and
jewellery.[52] In California, where the initial case was tried, a suit to preserve the right of
publicity may be filed on behalf of a dead person, but only if that person is a Californian. The
Memorial Fund therefore filed the lawsuit on behalf of the estate and, upon losing the case, were
required to pay the Franklin Mint's legal costs of £3 million which, combined with other fees,
caused the Memorial Fund to freeze their grants to charities.[53]
In 1998, Azermarka issued the postage stamps with both Azeri and English captions,
commemorating Diana. The English text reads "Diana, Princess of Wales. The Princess that
captured people's hearts".
In 2003 the Franklin Mint counter-sued; the case was eventually settled in 2004, with the fund
agreeing to an out-of-court settlement, which was donated to mutually agreed charitable causes.
[54]

Today, pursuant to this lawsuit, two California companies continue to sell Diana memorabilia
without the need for any permission from Diana's estate: the Franklin Mint and Princess Ring
LLC.
Diana in contemporary art
Diana has been depicted in contemporary art since her death. Some of the artworks have
referenced the conspiracy theories, as well as paying tribute to Diana's compassion and
acknowledging her perceived victimhood.
In July 1999, Tracey Emin created a number of monoprint drawings featuring textual references
about Diana's public and private life, for Temple of Diana, a themed exhibition at The Blue
Gallery, London. Works such as They Wanted You To Be Destroyed (1999)[55] related to Diana's
bulimia, while others included affectionate texts such as Love Was On Your Side and Diana's
Dress with puffy sleeves. Another text praised her selflessness - The things you did to help other
people, showing Diana in protective clothing walking through a minefield in Angola - while
another referenced the conspiracy theories. Of her drawings, Emin maintained "They're quite
sentimental . . . and there's nothing cynical about it whatsoever."[56]
In 2005 Martin Sastre premiered during the Venice Biennial the film Diana: The Rose
Conspiracy. This fictional work starts with the world discovering Diana alive and enjoying a
happy undercover new life in a dangerous favela on the outskirts of Montevideo. Shot on a
genuine Uruguayan slum and using a Diana impersonator from Sao Paulo, the film was selected
among the Venice Biennial's best works by the Italian Art Critics Association.[57]
In 2007, following an earlier series referencing the conspiracy theories, Stella Vine created a
series of Diana paintings for her first major solo exhibition at Modern Art Oxford gallery.[58]
Vine intended to portray Diana's combined strength and vulnerability as well as her closeness to
her two sons.[59] The works, all completed in 2007, included Diana branches, Diana family
picnic, Diana veil and Diana pram, which incorporated the quotation "I vow to thee my
country".[60] Immodesty Blaize said she had been entranced by Diana crash, finding it "by turns
horrifying, bemusing and funny".[61] Vine asserted her own abiding attraction to "the beauty and
the tragedy of Diana’s life".[59]
Recent events
On 13 July 2006 Italian magazine Chi published photographs showing the princess amid the
wreckage of the car crash,[62] despite an unofficial blackout on such photographs being published.
[63][N 3]
The editor of Chi defended his decision by saying that he published the photographs
simply because they had not been previously seen, and that he felt the images are not
disrespectful to the memory of the Princess.[63] Fresh controversy arose over the issue of these
photographs when Britain's Channel 4 broadcast them during a documentary in June 2007.
1 July 2007 marked a concert with many popular stars at Wembley stadium. The event,
organised by her sons the Princes William and Harry, celebrated the 46th anniversary of her birth
and occurred a few weeks before 10th anniversary of her demise on 31 August.
The 2007 docudrama Diana: Last Days of a Princess details the final two months of her life.
On an October 2007 episode of The Chaser's War on Everything, Andrew Hansen mocked Diana
in his "Eulogy Song", which immediately created considerable controversy in the Australian
media.[64]
Contemporary opinions

John Travolta and Diana dancing at the White House

From her engagement to the Prince of Wales in 1981 until her death in 1997, Diana was an
iconic presence on the world stage, often described as the world's most photographed woman.
She was noted for her compassion,[65] style, charisma, and high-profile charity work, as well as
her difficult marriage to Prince Charles.
Diana was revealed to be a major source behind Andrew Morton's Diana: Her True Story which
had portrayed her as being wronged by the House of Windsor. Morton instanced Diana's claim
that she attempted suicide while pregnant by falling down a series of stairs and that Charles had
left her to go riding. Tina Brown opined that it was not a suicide attempt because she would not
have intentionally tried to harm the unborn child. Brown cites an aide that says that Diana
accidentally slipped[66] and other sources claim it was an accident.[67]
Royal biographer Sarah Bradford commented, "The only cure for her (Diana's) suffering would
have been the love of the Prince of Wales which she so passionately desired, something which
would always be denied her. His was the final rejection; the way in which he consistently
denigrated her reduced her to despair."[68] Diana herself commented, "My husband made me feel
inadequate in every possible way that each time I came up for air he pushed me down
again ..."[68]
Diana herself admitted to struggling with depression, self injury, and bulimia, which recurred
throughout her adult life. One biographer suggested that Diana suffered from Borderline
personality disorder.[69]
In 2007, Tina Brown wrote a biography about Diana as a "restless and demanding shopaholic
who was obsessed with her public image" as well as being "spiteful, manipulative, media-savvy
neurotic." Brown also claims that Diana married Charles for his power and had a romantic
relationship with Dodi Fayed to anger the royal family, with no intention of marrying him.[70]
Titles, styles, honours, and arms
Titles and styles
• 1 July 1961 – 9 June 1975: The Honourable Diana Frances Spencer
• 9 June 1975 – 29 July 1981: The Lady Diana Frances Spencer
• 29 July 1981 – 28 August 1996: Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales
• 28 August 1996 – 31 August 1997: Diana, Princess of Wales
Posthumously, as in life, she is most popularly referred to as "Princess Diana", a title she never
held.[N 4] Still, she is sometimes referred to (according to the tradition of using maiden names
after death) in the media as "Lady Diana Spencer", or simply as "Lady Di". After Tony Blair's
famous speech she is also often referred to as the People's Princess.[71]

Notes
1. ^ As a titled royal, Diana held no surname, but, when one was used, it was Windsor
2. ^ Although it was asserted in 1996 that Diana would after the divorce be called "Lady Diana,
Princess of Wales,", the Royal website in reporting her demise referred to her as "Diana, Princess
of Wales".
3. ^ The photographs, taken minutes after the accident, show the Princess slumped in the back seat
while a paramedic attempts to fit an oxygen mask over her face.
4. ^ The style "Princess Diana", though often used by the public and the media during her lifetime,
was always incorrect. With rare exceptions (such as Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester) only
women born to the title (such as The Princess Anne) may use it before their given names. After
her divorce in 1996, Diana was officially styled Diana, Princess of Wales, having lost the prefix
HRH
