Life before and after her
wedding
When she was only 16 years old she met King Charles III
for first time, then he was 29 years old in 1977. After
their first meeting they fell in love but after years
Charles fell in love with another woman named Camilla.
When Charles told his mother (Queen Elizabeth II 1926-
2022) that he is in loved with Camilla she said that she
was not a royal member and he can’t marry her and he
has to marry Diana instead. They started dating in 1978
and on 29 July 1981 of age 19 and 35 they got married.
On this day Diana was really happy before they entered
the church where she sees Camilla wearing white clothes
(this was really unacceptable). Then she released that
she and Charles were dating all the time behind her
back. After that day Diana and King Charles had a toxic
relationship and after that Charles was really angry. He
wanted a divorce but then he saw Camilla with another
man. After he found out about her wedding he forgive to
Diana and after that they had „good“ Marriage with
Diana.
Diana’s Famе
• After Her marriage in 1981
she started to travel all
over the World and helped
people with Problems (like
cancer, paralyze, etc.).
Then she became so
famous that wherever she
went, there were
paparazzi around her.
Charles was really upset
because he was the real
prince and she was only a
lady but not a real
member of the royal
family.
Her Most Bigger Happiness And
Nightmare
After she became famous all
over the world, many
newspapers wrote only for her
(also magazines for her outfits,
etc.). When she had to go
outside there always were
paparazzi making photos of her.

In 1982 Diana’s first son was

born (Prince William).

Two years later in 1984 her

second son Prince Harry was
born. (While she was still
pregnant with him she fell down
the stairs in the castle. A few
weeks later she gave to her maid
a letter that she fell because she
hated the life she lives after
marring King Charles.)
Breaking the rules and after divorce
When William and Harry were 8 and 6
years old, Charles found out that
Camilla had a divorce with her
husband and he starts dating her again
behind Diana’s back. When she found
out again for their dating she wanted a
divorce with him, for this on 20th
November 1995 in an interview she
was wearing her ‘Revenge’ dress.

Princess Diana broke many rules of the

royal family.

One of them is when prince Harry’s

school organized a race for mother’s
day. Every mother had to run to win
the race, when Diana wanted to go one
from her bodyguards stopped her
because she was wearing a skirt, but
then she replied: ‘Almost every mother
here wears skirts so what’s the
problem?’. After this words she went
to the race and won second place.

After her divorce in 1996 her Outfit

style changes from expensive dresses
to normal clothes.
After her divorce there were even more paparazzi and people making photos of her. For that she
started to cover her face every time she is out because she was feeling really uncomfortable.
 The death…
In 1997 on 31st August Diana was in Paris in Hotel Ritz
where she was last seen in the elevator with her driver
Henri Paul, the manager of the hotel and two more
people. On the elevator security camera Diana was
looking really nervous because she knew what is going
to happen (10 months before the tragedy Diana wrote
in her dairy that she would be in a big car crash
planned by her husband Charles.)After they left the
elevator outside the hotel there were paparazzi who
started making photos of her. She tries to escape. Then
she got into her car and the driver started to drive
with 120km/h. When they get into the Pont de l'Alma
tunnel the driver crashed because of the cameras’
flashes. It was around 1am.

When the people who took pictures of her came to

the car they started filming. After that she was
brought to a hospital but sadly after 2h, at 3am she
passed away.

Her coffin, draped with the royal flag, was brought to

London from Paris by Prince Charles and Diana's two
sisters on 31 August 1997. The coffin was taken to a
private mortuary and then placed in the Royal Chapel,
St James's Palace. Her funeral was on 6st September.
Around 2billion of people watched it all around the
world. That was one from the biggest funerals in the
world’s history.
After the death
Immediately after her death, many sites around the world became briefly
ad hoc memorials to Diana where the public left flowers and other
tributes. Her son, Prince William, has stated that the outpouring of public
grief after her death "changed the British psyche, for the better", while
journalist Alastair Campbell noted that it assisted in diminishing "the stiff
upper lip approach". The largest memorial was outside the gates of
Kensington Palace, where people continue to leave flowers and tributes.
