She remained a symbol of love, grace and charity. Why was this lady the center of attraction? Let's try and understand more of this sad princess' life in depth. It's ironic because she had all the luxury that a woman can ask for. Yet somewhere deep within her heart, there was a void that unfortunately was never filled in her lifetime.

She was a British Royalty born on July 1st 1961. Being one of the most adored members of the royal family, she was raised by her father Edward John Spencer. Her parents divorced when she was very young. She was the princess of whales and known as Diana Spencer then. Initially she was educated at Riddlesworth Hall and later studied in a boarding school at West Heath School. In the year 1975, her father inherited the title of Earl Spencer. From then on she came to be known as Lady Diana Spencer. Even though she was not royal, she was raised next to Queen Elizabeth in a mansion next to the Sandringham estate of the royal family. She was not in good terms with her step mother and she was not the top student in her school either. She developed an interest in ballet though and grew up as a shy individual.

Prince Charles was 12 years older than Diana and reports indicate that Diana used to hang a picture of the prince in her room. The prince dated her elder sister but Lady Diana made quite an impression on him. After her schooling, Diana worked as a nanny and a kindergarten school teacher in London. She lived along with three other women in a house. It was in the year 1980 that things took a twist in her life and she met Prince Charles again. He proposed her and the fairy tale wedding happened in July 29 1981. An estimated of 750 million people watched the Royal Wedding which was telecast all over the world.

The United Kingdom declared the day as a national holiday. The wedding took place in St Paul's Cathedral because of more number of seating arrangements and the probability of having a longer procession through the streets of London. She arrived for the ceremony in a glass coach with her father Earl Spencer. Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Robert Runcie led the service assisted by clergymen. Diana was nervous and she mixed up the name of Charles during the ceremony. The newlyweds emerged at the Buckingham palace to give the crowds the kiss they had been waiting to see.

She started to make public appearances despite the fact that she was shy. She became pregnant giving birth to Prince William in 1982 and then to Prince Harry 1984.
