1961 - 1997

From her first television appearances as a shy nineteen-year-old, Diana Spencer captured the hearts of millions. During the years following her engagement and subsequent marriage to HRH Prince Charles, Diana was to blossom into the most often photographed woman in the world.

Her unfailing work for charity, her compassion, and above all, her warmth and love for those close to her, particularly her beloved sons William and Harry, made a profound impression on everyone she met.

Her particular affinity to children, the sick and the needy - and, most recently, her fervent opposition to the use of land mines - ensured that Diana was always able to make a difference. A woman of great personal courage and commitment, Diana, Princess of Wales will undoubtedly go down in history as The People's Princess.
