A fairy tale without a happy ending can be called the short life that Princess Diana lived. Short but very bright. No wonder the whole world mourned her.
Diana Spencer was born in the family of the courtier King George VI and the Queen Mother's lady-in-waiting. By tradition, the young aristocrat studied at a private school, later in Kent, at an expensive educational institution. The wall of her room was decorated with portraits of the royal family, in particular, the face of the heir to the British crown, Prince Charles. From an early age, Diana secretly dreamed of becoming a princess.
After school, Mr. Spencer sent his daughter to a Swiss private boarding school, where she was to be trained to be a model wife. These dreary, according to the girl, classes lasted two years. After them, Diana returns to foggy London and rents an apartment with her friends. Wanting to gain independence from her parents, the aristocrat worked as a nanny, cleaner, patronage nurse.
Princess Diana
Increasingly, fate or loving parents brought Diana to the prince. Reporters saw them together, the paparazzi hunted her. But she hid her relationship with Charles until he proposed to her. It happened in February 1981. After the wedding, which became the main event of the century,Diana's popularity skyrocketed. She suited everyone because she was (traditionally) an aristocrat, in addition, she was young, beautiful, hardworking and sympathetic. Princess Diana stepped into a new life in a luxurious ivory silk gown embellished with pearls and gold sequins. She wore a modest gold pendant and a delicate tiara, a Spencer family jewel.
After the birth of two sons - William of Wales and Henry - the couple became a model of family well-being. They lived a simple life, the children attended a regular school, stood in line for the rides, like their peers. As the boys grew older, Princess Diana took them with her to numerous charity events. It was thanks to her altruism that the princess won the love of the common people. And not only subjects of the British Empire, but the entire globe.
However, the family well-being of the crowned couple turned out to be ostentatious. The relationship was influenced by the long-standing relationship between Charles and Camilla, whom the prince could not marry in his time. Princess Diana didn't want to live a lie, so she filed for divorce.
Despite the fact that she ceased to be "Her Royal Highness", the person of Diana was still of interest to the public. With the loss of the title, she still continued to support the sick and outcasts, fought for peace. In the summer of 1997, the society learned from journalists about the relationship between the princess and the son of an Arab millionaire, Dodi Al-Fayed. It was the violent interest of the paparazzi that led to the death of the queen of human hearts. At high speed, the Mercedes in which she satcouple crashed into the concrete wall of the tunnel under the bridge.

The paparazzi, the driver of the car, the British intelligence services and even the royal family were blamed for her death. But no matter who is to blame, a person with a big heart cannot be returned.
