INTRODUCTION

Defining Princess Diana whith only her charitable work would be as one-sided in

their assessment as others to describe her as a needy soul who searched in vain for true love.

Though it remains a pleasant notion to remember Diana for the enormous humanitarian

impact she made on the world, it is not realistic to define her solely by those efforts. The

princess was an enigmatic figure who led a complex life.

The brilliance and goodness in Princess Dianas adult life materialized in her

professional work. Her confidence grew as it became apparent early in her marriage that she

was far more popular than her husband, a fact that proved to be a great embarrassment to him.

As she reached her late twenties, she displayed a passion and sincerity unmatched by any

celebrity of her time. Her eventual separation from Charles allowed her to select the pet

charities that tugged most at her heartstringsinvariably those that required the greatest

emotional and physical sacrifices.The power of her persuasion was revealed with every moment, every hug, every

glance, from the time an African child asked if she was an angel to the moment she walked

bravely through a minefield. Critics argued that it was all a show, but anyone personally

touched by the princess vehemently disagreed. And the publicity Diana brought to these

issues made a huge difference in the lives of millions. After all, it was only after her visits to

those people who had been devastated by antipersonnel land mines in Africa, Asia, and

Europe that 122 nations of the world agreed to ban them.Diana remains a beacon for the world, particularly for those who own the resources

to better the lives of the hapless millions. Granted, financial contributions are critical to the

battles against hunger and homelessness and disease. But the time and inclination to put a

famous face on such struggles motivates others to make a difference. Placing the spotlight on

a badly needed humanitarian effort is as important as throwing money at it, for it brings

awareness. Diana gained a reputation as the peoples princess not simply for her relationship

with the British people or even with the cheering throngs around the globe. She earned it forthe care she gave to those in need, including the forgotten, the downtrodden, the sick, and the

starving.Millions of tears were shed upon Dianas tragic death, as the love shegave the world

would be felt no more. Diana cant be judged solely by her selfless, humanitarian acts, but

they shall remain her legacy.

CHAPTER 1. BIRTH AND CHILDHOOD

Diana Spencer was born at 7: 45 PM, on 1 july 1961 in Sandringham, Norfolk. She

was the fourth of five children of Viscount and Viscountess Althorp. Her family, the

Spencers, was one of Britains closely alied with the Royal Family for several generations.

She was baptised at St Mary Magdeleine Church, Sandringham.

At the age of eight, Dianas parents divorced, after her mother had an affair with a

man, Peter Shand Kydd. Diana lived with her mother in London during the separation of those

two, and shortly afterwards, Lord Althorp, her father, won custody of Diana, with the help of

his ex- mother-in-law, Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy.

Her education started in 1968, when Diana was sent to an all-girls-boarding school,

Riddlesworth Hall. She wasnt a brillian student, and she was moved to West Heath Girls

School (named later The New School West Heath) in Sevenoaks, Kent. In that school she was

regarded as a poor student and she discovered a talent: playing piano as an accomplished

pianist.

Diana, achomplished by a classmater took weekly trips to one particular senior in

Sevenoaks. During that period, she visited an area mental hospital, where she did volunteer

work. During her visits she discovered her talents in athletics and winning several events, but

she also played tennis, studied piano and won a school dance competition in 1976.

In Dianas life appeared an important adult: the Countess of Dartmouth Raine de gaz,

with whom Jhonnie began having a relationship. The couple met in 1972, when the family

stiil lived in Park House.

The mutual atraction between Jhonnie and Raine was obvious. To Diana, who enjoyed

taking care of her father, Raine was a threat. Moving to Althorp, Raines presence increased

in her life, both saddned and angered Diana.

Gerald Darthmouth was granded a divorce on the grounds of adultery in May 1976,

which freed her to mary Jhonnie two months later in London.

The trauma of her fathers marriage to Raine played a role in Dianas life during that

period. Her failure, in two critical sets of exams, that would have resulted in her promotion

forced her to leave school at age 16.

It wouldnt take very long, but Diana had to slip away from academic life before she

would indeed blossom. She followed Sarah to the Institute Alpin Vidamanette, a finishing

school from Switzerland.In september 1978, another chapter was written in dianas relatinship with her father

and step-mother. During a visit with friends in Norfolk, she had a strong feeling that Johnnie,

will take ill or eve die. At just 54 years old, Johnnie had fallen into a coma and was placed on

life support.

Later, another person entered in Dianas life, through her eldest sister Sarah. Prince

Charles met 22 years old Sarah at a house at Windsor Castle. The immediate attraction

between Charles and Sarah seemed greatly based on their personalities.The Prince of Wales had known Diana for several years, but he first took a serious

interest in her potential bride during the summer of 1980, when they were guests at a country

weekend, where she watched him play polo.

Their relationship changed as he invited her for a weekend to Cowes aboard the royal

yacht Britannia, followed by an invitation to balmoral to meet his family. Lady Diana was

well received by the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, and Queen Elisabeth, The Queen Mother.

CHAPTER 2. ENGAGEMENT AND WEDDING

Their engagement became official on 24 February 1981, after Lady Diana received a large,

30000 consisting of fourteen solitaire diamonds elegantly surrounding a 12 karat oval blue

Ceylon saphire set in 18 karat white gold. That ring later became, in 2010, the engagement

ring of Catherine Middleton.

At the age of 20, Diana became Princess of Wales, she married Prince Charles on 29

July 1981 at St. Pauls Cathedral, which offered more seating that Westminster Abbey,

generally used for royal nuptials. It was a ,, fairytale wedding, also televised.

At the Altar, Diana accidentally reversed the order of Charless first two names,

saying ,,Philip Charles Arthur George instead and she also did not pronounced ,,obey,

when they made they vows and she wore a dress with an eight metre train.

The honeymoon was spent at the Mountbatten family home at Broadlands

Hampshire, before flying to Gibraltar to join the Royal Yacht Britannia for 12 day cruise

through the Mediterranian to Egypt. They also visited Tunisia, Sardinia and Greece. The

honeymoon was finished with a visit and a stay at Balmoral.

After she became Princess of Wales, Diana aquired rank as the second highest

femele in the United Kingdom Order of Precedence (after the Queen), and as typically fifth or

sixth in the orders of precedence of other realms, following the Queen, the relevant viceroy,

the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Prince of Wales.

After a few years of the marriage, the Queen extended Diana visible tokens of

membership in the Royal Family; the gift of a tiara and the badge of the Royal Family Order

of Queen Elisabeth II.

CHAPTER 3. EARLY YEARS AS A ROYAL

Upon returning to London at the end of October, the couple moved into a tiny

apartement in an uper floor of Buckingham Palace, consisting in a bedroom, sitting room,

bathroom, and two dressimg-rooms; it didnt even have a kitchen.

On 5 November 1981, the Princess first pregnancy was officially announced, and she

frankly discussed her pregnancy with members of the press. After Diana fell down a staircase

in Sandringham in January 1982, 12 weeks into her first pregnancy, the royal gynaecologist

Sir George Pinker was summoned from London. She found out that the baby was OK.

On 21 June 1982, in the private Lindo Wing of St. Marys Hospital in Paddington,

London, under the surveilance of Pinker, the Princess gave natural birth to her and Princes

first son, William Arthur Philip Louis. Even though existed some media criticism, she decided

to take William, still a baby, on her first majors tours of Australia and New Zealand, but the

decision was popularly applauded. By her own admission, the Princess of Wales had no

initially intended to take William until it was suggested by Malcom Fraser, the Australian

prime minister.

A second son Henry Charles Albert David, was born two years after William, on 15

September 1984. The Princess asserted she and the Prince were closest during her pregnancy

9

7/28/2019 dumitrela

10/20

with Harry. She was aware their second child was a boy, but did not share the knowledge with

anyone else, including the Prince of Wales.

Even her harshest critics agree that the Princess of Wales was a devoted, imaginative

and demonstrative mother. She rarely deferred to the Prince and 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 of her own choosing, selected their schoolsand clothing, planned their outings and took them to school herself as often as her schedule

permitted. She also negiciated her public duties around their timetables.

CHAPTER 4. ROYAL DUTIES

After the marriage with the Prince of Wales, Diana quickly became involved in

official duties of the Royal Family.

Her first tour werw when she accompanied Prince Charles of Wales was a visit of

three days in Wales, in October 1981. Then, in 1982 they went to Netherlands and it was

created a Grand Cross of the Crown by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.

The next year, in 1983, she accompanied the Prince in Australia and New Zealand,

with little Prince William. There they met with the countrys native people, who honored the

couple with a traditional boat tour and gifts representing their civilization.

From a short period, June to July 1983, both Prince and Princess took official visits to

Canada for the opening of World Universities Games and to celebrate the 400th anniversary

of Sir Humphrey Gilberts taking possession of Newfoundland.

Two year later, in April 1985, the Prince and the Princess of Wales visited Italy

accompanied by their children, William and Harry. In this visit they met with the President

Alessandro Pertini. Their tour to the Holy See included a private meeting with Pope John II.

Diana made her inaugural overseas tour, to the United States, in 1985, in November.

During their visit in United States, they had a meeting with the President Ronald Reagan and

First Lady Nancy Reagan at the White House.

The next year, 1986, was a quite busy years for the Princess Diana, accompanied by

the Prince Charles, they embarked on a tour of Japan she made humanitarian work, the

Princess of Wales visited the Red Cross Infants Home for Disabled Kids in Tokio. There, they

made also an official visit to the Tokio Imperial Palace, where Emperor Hirohito held a state

banquet in their honour.

In Spain, that had closed friends King Juan Caelos and his family. They spend some

summers together in Majorca, a favorite royal destination.In Canada they visited Expo 86.

In February 1987, the Prince accompanied by the Princess visited Portugal. The visit

coincided with the anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Windsor in 1387. Those two

attended a banquet held in their honour by President Mrio Soares at the Ajuda National

Palace.

In March, 1990, the Prince and the Princess took a tour in Nigeria and Cameron.

During their visit, the Princess made again humanitarian jobs. The President of Cameron

hosted an official dinner to welcome them in Yaound. In May 1990, they took an official

visit in Hungary. They were expected at the airport by their host, newly elected interim

President rpd Gncz and hosted an official dinner to welcome the royal couple.

The trip was one of four days and the royal couple met government officials, business

officials and artists and the Princess viewed a display of British fashion at the Museum of

Applied Arts.

In November 1990, Charles and Diana went to Japan, to honor the invitation of

Emperor Akihito. In 1991, the royal couple accompanied by her kids visited Canada to

11

7/28/2019 dumitrela

12/20

present replica of Queen Victorias Royal Charter to Queens University, on the 150th

anniversary of the universitys founding.

In 1991, they also visited Brazil. There she made humanitarian jobs and they met the

Brazilian President Fernando Collorde Mello and First Lady Rosane Collor in Brasil.

In 1992, Diana made a short visit to Egypt, where she visited locale schools and

treatment centres for handicapped children in Cairo. She was invited to stay at the BritishAmbassadors Villa. She met, during the visit President Mumbarak. She also visited Piramids,

Luxor and Karnak temples.

In February 1995, the Princess visited Japan then she went to Venice Biennale art

festivals. In November 1995 she went to Argentina and she met with President Carlos

Menem. She visited many, many countries such as: Switzerland, Belgium, South Africa,

Zimbabwe and Nepal.

Princess Diana was renowned for her style and was closely associated with the fashionworld, but also best know for her charity work.

After the separation from Prince Charles, Diana continued to appear with others

members of Royal Family on major national occasion.

CHAPTER 5. CHARITY WORK AND PATRONAGE

Though Diana appeared to take far more interest in her personal life than the state ofworld affairs, the same couldnt be said for her sympathy for those who were suffering. In

early 1989 she took her first solo tours overseas by visiting the United States. There she

requested trips through its poorest, most drug- ravaged ghettos and dilapidated Harlem

Hospita, where she visited eight infants with AIDS who would most likely died before their

first birthday.

Diana also befriended officials at Henry Street, which worked with battered women

and the homeless and had developed into one of the premier social welfare agencies in theUnited States. Henry Street needed money to continue that great work that started there and

Diana tried to help them sincerily.

Selflessness and caring for those less fortunate had been traits of Dianas throughout her

life. She knew instinctively as a teenager that she had a mission in life and originally believed

it to resolve arround a future husband. In her role of Princess, she realized it related far more

poignantly to bringing kindness to those who had been treated unkindly, to bring help to the

helpless, and hope to the hopeless.

12

7/28/2019 dumitrela

13/20

Among those who witnessed Dianas magic touch was Marjatta van Boeschoten, a one-

time lawyer and trustee for Paradise House Association, a learning center for disabled adults.

Such a story would have come as no surprise to patrick Jephsen, who joined Dianas

staff in 1988 as an equerry before becoming her private secretary. On his first day working

with her, Jephsen was stuck by a moment when he saw Diana spending with a dying child. He

quickly realised that Diana was genuinely touched by the experience and felt a sincere

sympathy for the plight of the youngster

No edemic rugged at Dianas heartstrings more than AIDS, which was first diagnosed in

1983 and developed into one of the deadliest diseases of the decade.though anyone could be

inflicted with HIV, that causes AIDS, the outbreak, greatly affected the homosexual

community. Diana had numerous gay acquitances in the fashion industri and on the palace

stuff. Among those who died of AIDS was Stephen Barry, who had served as Charless valet.

Ignorance about the HIV has always been widespread, but more so in the 1980s,

when the disease was relatively new. Many were afraid to come anywhere near a person who

had been positively diagnosed. So, when Diana was invited to attend the opening of the first

AIDS ward in England at Middlesex Hospital, great speculation arose as to how she would

handle the situation.

13

7/28/2019 dumitrela

14/20

Some have suggested, or even claimed, that Dianas tender moments with the sick, or

the dying, or the painfully poor were quite far from genuine. But all that she was completely

real.

CHAPTER 6. A MARRIAGE DOOMED TO FAIL

During the early 1990s, the marriage of the Prince and the Princess of Wales felt apart,an event at first suppressed, then sensationalised by the world media.

The chronology of the break-up identifies reported difficulties between the Prince and

the Princess as early as 1985. The Princess of Wales began an affair with Major James

Hewitt, and the Prince Charles returned to his former girlfriend, Camila Parker Bowles.

In the meantime, rumors had begun to surface about the Princess of wales relationship

with James Hewitt, her former riding instructor.

14

7/28/2019 dumitrela

15/20

In December 1992, Prime Minister John Major announced the Waless amicable

separations to the House of Commons, and the full Camillagate transcript was published a

month later in the newspaper, in January 1993. On e december 1993, Diana announced her

withdrawal for public life. Charles sought public understanding via a televised interview with

Jonathan Dimbleby on 29 June 1994.

The Princess of Wales was interviewed for the BBC curent affairs and this was

broadcast on 20 November 2005, where Diana spoked freely about her affair with Hewit.

In December 1995, as a direct result of thr Princesss Panorana interview, the Queen

asked the Prince and the Princess of Wales for a divorce.

On 20 December 1995, Buckingham Palace announced the Queen had sent letters to

the Prince an the Princess of Wales, advising them to divorce. The Queens move was backed

by the Prime Minister and by senior Privy Counsellors, and, acording to BBC, was decided

after two weeks of talks.

In February 1997, Diana announced her agreement after negociations with the Prince

and reprezentatives of the Queen, irritating Buckingham Palace by issuing her own

announcement of a divorce agreement and its terms.

The divorce was finalised on 28 August 1996. Diana received a lump sum setlement

of around 17 million along a clause standard in royal divorcing preventiong her from

discussing the details.

Buckingham Palace stated the Princess of wales was still a member of the Royal

Family, as she was the mother of the second and the third in line to the throne. This was

15

7/28/2019 dumitrela

16/20

confirmed by the Deputy Coroner of the Queens Household, Baroness Buttler-Sloss, after a

pre-hearing on 8 January 2007.

CHAPTER 7. THE FINAL YEARS AND FATAL END

The break from the Royal Family served to create two separate Dianas- the

emotionally fragile woman who searched vainly, often with disregard for others, to find the

ideal man and personal fulfillment, and the strong, caring princess who achieved humanitarian

gratness by bringing hope and making positive changes to the live of those less fortunate.

Upon her arrival to Angola, in mid-January 1997, she immediately announced a

campaign to help the Red Cross eliminate the use of antipersonnel land mines throughout the

world, which ran contrary to official British policy, promoting criticism from tory Party

political figures.The mine controversy highlighted Dianas popularity and power. Her stand against

land mines was supported not only by Labour Oppositions leader Tony Blair and other

liberals in the political landscape, but even by towering military figures such as U.S. general

Norman Schwarzkopf and British counterpart Sir Peter de la Billire.

Meanwhile, it seemed Diana was stepping on an emotional land mine with every man

she pursued. Her agresivness played a role in driving away hasnat Khan, whose flattery at the

notion of a beautiful Princess falling in love with him was outweight by his anger at herforays into his personal life and the resulting massive publicity.

When this relathionship became to an end, Dianas personal life sunk again. She didnt

spoke to her mother and also grew distant from william and harry, both of whom had

embraced the rugged lifestyle supported by their father, Camilla and Legge-Bourke.

As she did in several ocasions to her anguish, Diana decided to take a trip. She

accepted an invitation for herself and her sons to visit the home of Egyptian multimillionaire

Mohammed Al-Fayed, with Heini and three of their youngest children in the South of France.

Dianas initial impression of the Fayed family proved qiute positive. Though she, at

one point,chastised a horde of media members hwo had been tipped off about her trip, telling

them in no uncertain terms to leave her alone, she enjoyed jet-skiing and swimming with her

sons and simply relaxing in Fayeds well secured villa. But what she enjoyed the most was

getting to know Dodi, who had been romantically involved whith not only Fisher, but well-

known Americans models and actresess, like Brooke Shiels, Cathy Lee Crosby and even Julia

Roberts. Though Dodi apeared to be a shalow hedonist on the surface, Diana explored his

16

7/28/2019 dumitrela

17/20

personality to uncover more. Among her findings was that Dodi had much in common with

Charles. Diana started liking Dodi, and the feeling was mutual.

At the end of a fairy tale journey, Diana went to an humanitarian trip to the former

Iugoslavia and Bosnia in a continuing effort to rid the world of antipersonnel land mines.

Among the victims Diana visited in Sarajevo a 15 years old girl hwo lived without her

parents in a miserable home. Then, after that, she she was scheduled to visit Cambodgia andVietnam that October, which would have giving her another opportunity to display her

empathy toward the less fortunate and her harred of land mines, which had taken so many

lives. Soon after her walk through the minefields of Angola, 122 nations agreed to ban

antipersonnel land mines and the campaign that her name and compassion brought into the

worlds spotlight was given a Nobel Peace Prize.

On 31 August 1997, Diana was fatally injuried in a car crash in the Pont de lAlma

road tunnel in Paris, which also caused the deaths of her companion Dodi Fayed and thedriver, Henry Paul, acting security manager of the Htel Ritz Paris. Millions of people

wathced her funeral.

The sudden and unexpected death of an extraordinary popular royal figure brought

statements from senior figures worldwide and many tributes by members of the public. People

left public offering flowers, candles, cards and personal messages outside Kensington Palace

for many months.

Dianas funeral took place in Westminster Abbey on 6 September 1997. The previous

day Queen Elisabeth II had paid tribute to her in a live television broadcast. Her sons walked

in the funeral procession behind the coffin, along with the Prince Charles, the Duke of

Edinburgh, and with Dianas brother, Charles Spencer.

After the death, many sites around the world became briefly memorials to Diana,

where the public left flowers and other tribute.

CONCLUSION

Following the death of Princess Diana, Charles asked the media to respect the privacy

of sons William and Harry. He hoped the same tabloids that played a role in the crash that

stole the life of their mother would allow the princes to grieve privately and concentrate on

their educations without great fanfare. William, who is second in line to the throne behind h is

father, excelled in various subjects, including geography, biology, and art history, at Eton

College, before taking a year off to visit Chile, toil on British dairy farms, and tour Africa. He

then moved on to study at St. Andrews University in Scotland, where he concentrated ongeography and graduated in 2005.

Soon thereafter he joined the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst as an officer cadet and

was eventually commissioned as an army officer. He quickly latched on as a second lieutenant

with the Household Cavalry.

Harry has led a more controversial life since the accident that took his mother away. He

followed William to Eton in 1998 and also spent time traveling to Australia, Argentina, and

Africa. It was on that final trip during which he created a well-received documentary on the

plight of orphans in Lesotho. Harry found quite the opposite reaction when he wore a

swastika armband at a costume party in January 2005. The 20-year-old prince apologized

profusely for what he described as a poor choice. The incident caused quite a stir, but

eventually blew over under the realization that it in no way reflected his political views. Harry

soon thereafter followed in his brothers footsteps by entering the Royal Military Academy

Sandhurst and undergoing nearly a year of training as an officer cadet. He too was

commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Household Cavalryin 2006.

Neither son, however, has distanced himself emotionally from Diana.

18

7/28/2019 dumitrela

19/20

In fact, William and Harry organized a tribute memorial concert in hername to recognize

the 10th anniversary of her death. The event was broadcast in 140 different countries and

reached 500 million homes. About 22,500 tickets were made available for the concert in

December 2006 and were snapped up in 17 minutes. A throng of 63,000 attended the July

2007 concert at Wembley Stadium, where artists such as Elton John, Sir Tom Jones, Duran

Duran, Andrea Bocelli, Rod Stewart, and Kanye West performed. Speeches by both princes,as well as former and current world leaders such as Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela, and Tony

Blair, highlighted the festivities, which reached a crescendo when a video tribute to Diana

was shown.

One celebrity who did not attend the concert was Prince Charles.

Many in Britain still considered him a villain 10 years after Dianas death, offering that

if he had given all his affection to his wife rather than to Camilla, the princess wouldnt have

felt it necessary to search for love elsewhere and would still be alive. Charles strengthened hisrelationship with William and Harry following the death of their mother. They accompanied

him on several trips both inside Britain and abroad.

Charles didnt lose his feelings for Camilla after the tragedy. The couple married in a

civil ceremony in Windsor on April 9, 2005. After the wedding, which was attended by 800

guests and was followed by a reception hosted by the queen, Camilla assumed the title of Her

Royal Highness, the Duchess of Cornwall. The couple traveled together on official visits to

the United States in 2005, the Middle East and Western Asia in 2006, and both the United

States and the Middle East in 2007. The visits took on quite a different flavor and atmosphere

than those undertaken by Charles and Diana, particularly in the last several years of their

marriage.

The insults and petty bickering that marred the official engagements of Prince Charles

and Princess Diana were replaced by the respect the new royal couple felt for each other, and

the adoring crowds that besieged

Diana wherever she went have been replaced by a quieter existence. But he legacy of

Diana, Princess of Wales, endures as her sons and those who knew her continue to keep her

memory alive.
