Lady Di

    It's now been 15 years since her death. The woman who was so popular during her lifetime, changed people's perception about the royal family and died such a sad, violent and unexpected death...

    Lady Diana Spencer (later Princess of Wales) was born on the 1st July 1961, in Norfolk. Her childhood was quite a difficult one, because her parents divorced when she was 7 years old. Diana was a very good swimmer and dancer, but wasn't very good in school (failing her O-levels twice). When she was a teenager, she moved to London, and worked in a kindergarten and as a nanny. Diana first met Charles in 1977, at a polo game. In early 1981, she and Charles were engaged, and on the 29th July 1981, around 750 million people watched the royal wedding. Shortly after this, Diana became pregnant, and in June 1982, William Arthur Phillip Louis was born. 2 years after him came his younger brother Harry (officially called Henry Charles Albert David). Diana had a difficult marriage with Charles, and in 1996 they divorced. Diana supported a lot of charities throughout her life, and worked alongside Mother Theresa, to help the dying and suffering. Diana died on the 31st August 1997. Many people mourned her, and her death was an extremely untimely one. Diana was one of the greatest women in history, and will never be forgotten.
