Princess Diana life in photos
Take a photographical journey through the life of "The People's Princess," a woman whose life was meticulously and relentlessly documented. From royal controversy to worldwide humanitarian efforts, Princess Diana's life was anything but ordinary.
Diana Spencer
The former Lady Diana Frances Spencer was born on July 1, 1961. At the time of her birth, her parents were known as Lord and Lady Althorp. Her father was a former captain in the Royal Scots Greys and was equerry to the late King George VI and subsequently Queen Elizabeth II.
According to sources, Diana's parents expected her to be a boy and were so intent on producing a male heir that more than a week passed before she even received a name. Here, Diana Spencer enjoys a summer day in 1968.
Young Lady Diana and her brother
Diana was the third of four children -- two older sisters and a younger brother, Charles Viscount Althorp, who eventually became the Ninth Earl in 1992. The children spent most of their formative years on the Queen's estate at Sandringham before moving to the family home of Althorp in Northamptonshire.
Diana eventually became a kindergarten teacher in central London after attending Riddlesworth Hall and West Heath School in Kent.
