LIFE :
Diana Spencer was born in the late afternoon on 1 July 1961, in Sandringham, Norfolk.
She was the third child of Viscount and Viscountess Althorp
The Spencer family is one of Great Britain's oldest and most important families, closely allied with the royal family for several generations.
Diana's parents separated when she was only seven years of age.
She did not shine academically,however, she showed a particular talent for music as an accomplished pianist
In 1977, at the age of 16, she briefly attended Institut Alpin Videmanette , a finishing school in Rougemont, Switzerland .
At about that time, she first met her future husband, who was then in a relationship with her eldest sister, Lady Sarah.
The Prince of Wales (Prince Charles) had previously been linked to LadyDiana's elder sister Lady Sarah, and in his early thirties he was under increasing pressure to marry.
The Prince of Wales had known Lady 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 .
Their engagement became official on 24 February 1981
Lady Dianawas well received by Elizabeth II , by The Duke of Edinburgh , and by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.

A second son, Henry Charles Albert David , was borntwo years after William, on 15 September 1984. 
Even her harshest critics agree that the Princess of Wales was a devoted, imaginative and demonstrative mother. She rarely deferred to the Prince or to the Royal Family, and was often intransigent when it came to the children
She chose their first given names, dismissed a royal family nanny and engaged one of her own choosing, selected theirschools and clothing, planned their outings and took them to school herself as often as her schedule permitted
She also negotiated her public duties around their timetables.
From the mid-1980s, the Princess of Wales became increasingly associated with numerous charities.
