With her future husband, Prince Charles, Diana met during a hunt. Although they knew each other from childhood (since the Spencer's family residence was near the royal summer residence), Charles and Diana weren't so friendly from the beginning.

Then members of the British royal family took interest in Diana. She was charming, obedient, modest, and well-mannered. Some journalists stated that their union “was made on heaven”, where apparently "was corrected" historical injustice (for since the middle of the XVI century, none of the monarchs of Great Britain hadn’t been married to Englishwoman).
It was easy for Charles to win her heart: flowers, invitations to play polo, dancing at festivities or invitations to stay in a Scottish castle of Balmorals ... But Charles hesitated to propose for a long time , while Diana already in love was lost trying to figure out the reasons for such behavior. The real explanation was quite simple: Charles was in love with Camilla Parker-Bowles, a divorced lady who enjoyed playing polo with Prince , hunting and riding horses ... But once, Charles’ father, Prince Philip, insisted on breaking up this “friendship” with Lady Camilla and recommended Charles to make a proposal to Lady Diana. Frustrated Charles had obeyed.
Diana and Charles had been seeing each other for about six months when he proposed on February 3, 1981 at a dinner for two at Buckingham Palace. He knew she planned a vacation for the next week, and hoped she'd use the time to consider her answer.
On February, 24 the engagement of Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer was officially announced. The wedding was scheduled for July 29 and was going to take place in St. Paul’s Cathedral. All United Kingdom was excited about the news: it boosted the morale of the nation during an economical downturn.
On a meeting with the press at Buckingham Palace, Diana proudly showed her beautiful engagement ring - a stunning sapphire surrounded by fourteen diamonds. Then Diana moved in Clarence House with Charles. And the preparations for the upcoming wedding have begun.

Early in the morning of July 28 ,1981 about 600 000 people formed Diana's procession from Clarence House to St. Paul’s Cathedral , with 4,000 police and 2,200 military officers to manage the crowds. The marriage ceremony was extraordinary – later it was called “the wedding of the XX century”. It was watched by more than 750 million viewers worldwide.
Lady Diana’s dress was fabulous; it was made of silk taffeta, decorated with lace, hand embroidery, sequins, and 10,000 pearls. It was designed by Elizabeth and David Emanuel, and had a 25-foot train. In accordance with an old tradition, the last stitches on the dress were made only when Diana was already dressed in this gorgeous dress.

When on 29 July 1981 Diana climbed the steps of St. Paul's Cathedral, the whole world for some seconds has believed in fairy tales. In the press of the Soviet Union Diana’s story was often compared with the tail of Cinderella. And in very few magazines appeared the information that Diana was the daughter of Viscount Althorp, whose family was related with the Duke of Marlborough, the most famous member of this family was Winston Churchill, but its genealogical roots in the past where connected to the king of England James I, and by the female line - to Charles II, a common ancestor.
The first official visit of Prince Charles and his young wife throughout the country has started with their possessions - Wales. In three days the prince and wife have had eighteen meetings! The first day of their itinerary included Caernarfon Castle, where Prince Charles, twelve years earlier, was officially given his title of Prince of Wales.
On the third day of the journey through the country Diana made the speech in which she said that she felt pride about the fact that she became a princess of such a wonderful country. Later, Diana confessed that she felt so embarrassed during that public appearance , but this trip was her first step into people’s hearts and it became very important to her in the future.

In June 1982, Diana gave birth to William. Diana woke up as a mother; the birth of a child made her the most popular woman of the kingdom. It seemed that Charles wasn’t so happy as Diana was: he would often get angry or worried. The couple quarreled now and then so fiercely, that the staff of their country house was always in fear, waiting for the next arrival of Their Royal Highnesses...
Diana literally blossomed during her motherhood. She was always trying to be by her son. The Princess insisted on taking William everywhere, even on a trip to Australia and New Zealand in March 1983. During that trip, Diana once again was able to see how much people loved and trusted her- in Australia and New Zealand, people really adored her. Prince Charles began to realize that from now he would always be on the second place and even tried to joke about the situation. But wherever they appeared, it was always the same thing: Diana was always "the highlight of the program."
On February 1984, Buckingham Palace officially declared that the prince and the princess are expecting another child. The boy, who was born on September 15, 1984, was named Henry Charles Albert David. Now he is known as Prince Harry. For the second time Diana was leaving the hospital full of happiness, once again carrying a little prince in her arms. Sentimental newspapers even called her "the ideal of mother."
From the beginning, she tried to give her children a life as simple and ordinary as it was possible, considering that they were a Royal family. When both princes grew up Diana was against home tutoring and they began to attend pre-school classes and regular schools. She allowed her boys to wear jeans, athletic pants and T-shirts. They were allowed to eat junk food, go to the cinema and attractions, where princes waited in the common line like all other kids. Later, she introduced William and Harry with her work in charity and meetings patients in hospitals or homeless. Diana often took the children with her.
Wherever she appeared in public Diana always tried to talk to people and to listen to them, when it was possible. She felt very free while talking with representatives of different social positions, political parties, and religious trends. Somehow she always felt people who most needed for her attention. Diana has been blessed with the gift of understanding the increasing importance of her person on the world’s scale and used it in her charitable activities. This aspect of her life gradually became her true calling.
On 15 June, 1995 Princess Diana visited Moscow. Announcements of the visit were placed in Russian media. She visited “Tushinsky” Children's Hospital, charity care to which were provided by the princess before, as Diana gave the hospital medical equipment. On 16 June 1995 a ceremony of honoring Princess Diana international Leonardo prize took place in the British embassy in Russia.
Her last mission was the work of removal the landmines, remained after numerous wars all over the world. Diana has traveled many countries, from Angola to Bosnia, to witness the most terrible consequences of these terrible weapons. In the funeral speech at Diana's memorial service, her brother, Earl Spencer, praised very much her charity work: "She was the very essence of compassion, without her, we may remain blind to AIDS victims, the suffering of the homeless, the isolation of leprosy patients and to unpredictable explosions of mines." People loved her so much that Diana truly was the People's Princess.

In December 1994, Diana announced that she intends to focus on her personal life, and therefore radically reduces her official functions. In one of her visits to compatriots, she said: "I hope that you will understand me and give a breathing space which I needed so much recent years. Your kindness and compassion helped me to survive in the most difficult periods of my life, your job and love has always made my way easier. I thank you all with all my heart. " Despite the fact that the number of public events and speeches has been reduced, Diana has continued with the same energy to participate in charity.
In November 1995, Diana has appeared in the popular TV program "Panorama", giving a stunning TV interview to Martin Beshir (a Pakistani-British journalist). All Britain literally "stuck" to their television screens, when Diana with pain in her heart explained her view on the most sensational story of the decade. Speaking of marriage, she called it "a fairy tale that everyone wanted to believe", she said that is very fond of her husband, wanted to share everything with him and thought that they were one team. Then, referring to the relationship of Prince Charles with Camilla Parker Bowles, Diana said: " Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.” Asked by Martin Beshir about her plans for the future Diana replied: " I'd like to be an ambassador for this country. I'd like to represent this country abroad. I think the British people need someone in public life to give affection, to make them feel important, to support them, to give them light in their dark tunnels. I'd like to be a queen of people's hearts, in people's hearts, but I don't see myself being Queen of this country. I don't think many people will want me to be Queen.
Reporters are still trying to penetrate the private life of a princess, especially since the summer of 1997 when she has made public her romantic relationship with Dodi Al-Fayed, the son of Arab millionaire Mohamed Al Fayed, owner of luxury hotels and expensive network of supermarkets "Harrods". The fact that Dodi was also divorced and had a reputation of being playboy even more intensified the interest in him by the press. Diana and Dodi had been known for several years, but became closer only in 1997.
In July, they spent the holidays in St Tropez with Diana's sons - Princes William and Harry. The boys got along well with the generous master of the house. Later, Diana and Dodi met in London and then went on a cruise in the Mediterranean aboard a luxury yacht “Jonikal”. By the end of August " Jonikal " went to Portofino in Italy, then sailed to Sardinia. On 30 August the loving couple went to Paris. The next day, Diana was going to fly to London to meet with his sons in the last day of their summer vacation.

On the night of August 31, 1997 the world found up that Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car crash in Paris. She died because of the high speed of the vehicle, her driver was drunk and also under the influence of drugs. The tragical death of Princess Diana shocked the world, especially Britain. Square in front of Buckingham Palace was all covered with bouquets and thousands of memorial candles. -
The coffin of Princes Diana was covered with royal standard – it is a spetial honor, bestowed only to members of the royal family – that was the personal order of Prince Charles. Following the funeral service, the coffin was taken by road to the family estate at Althorp for a private interment. The Princess was buried in sanctified ground on an island in the centre of an ornamental lake. "A woman of the twentieth century", even after she passed away remained the subject of incredible love and worship. -
British newspapers reported that the people demanded in offence of the old royal protocols to dip down the flag at Buckingham Palace (the Queen was forced to agree with). Elizabeth II had also been forced to make another compromise: she performed with a speech devoted to an unloved daughter-in-law. -
Funeral liturgy, which was conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey, was extremely touching. Diana's sisters and the Prime Minister Tony Blair, pronounced the funeral oration. Elton John performed his famous song "Candle in the Wind", but now it began with the words: "Goodbye England's rose May you ever grow in our hearts,"
Then spoke Diana's brother - Earl Spencer, who called Diana "the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty.All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a very British girl who transcended nationality. Someone with a natural nobility who was classless and who proved in the last year that she needed no royal title to continue to generate her particular brand of magic." - said the count. He recalled the happy days of their childhood, spoke of the last meeting with his sister. "We give thanks for the life of a woman I am so proud to be able to call my sister: the unique, the complex, the extraordinary and irreplaceable Diana, whose beauty, both internal and external, will never be extinguished from our minds."
Diana went to her final journey to the patrimony Althorp House. There, she was buried on a small island in the middle of a calm lake.

In the days following the funeral, the British were still trying to come to terms with the idea of resignation of Diana, Princess of Wales. Many people now ask themselves why they are so deeply touched by her untimely death. Perhaps the answer can be found in her wide popularity. After all, despite the fact that most of us never met her in real life, Diana nevertheless become for such many people all over the planet a good friend entering in our lives throw television and by newspapers and magazines. A good memory of her remained in the hearts of millions of people all around the world.
