Born Lady Diana Spencer, she married Prince Charles in 1981 in a wedding watched by 750 million people worldwide at St. Paul's Cathedral. Together they had sons William and Harry. The marriage was turbulent, marked by media attention and public revelations, and they divorced in 1996. Diana revolutionized the royal image through her warmth and accessibility.

She died tragically in a car accident in Paris on 31 August 1997, at just 36 years old.
