Humanitarian, and the
Queen of Hearts
 By CIO Women Magazine
The Princess of Wales, Diana Frances Spencer was born on 1 July 1961. She was
one of the members of the British royal family. Diana was in the limelight not
because she belonged to the royal family but because one reason for her popularity
was her social work and good deeds for people. Her personal life got many ups and
downs yet the lady is an inspiration for many women out there. Princess Diana was
the first wife of King Charles III and the mother of Princes William and Harry. Her
leadership and mystique made her a global symbol and gained her persisting vogue
as well as an almost unparalleled public survey.

problems and was concerned about them since she was very young. The sensitive
princess towards the citizens made her work more for them in the future. In 1981,
while working as a kindergarten teacher’s assistant, she got engaged to the Prince
of Wales, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II. In 9181, the grand wedding took
place at St Paul’s Cathedral and made her Princess of Wales, a role in which she
was over excitedly accepted by the public.

Norfolk. The Spencer family was closely related to the British royal family for
many generations. On 30 August 1961, Princess Diana was baptized at St. Mary
Magdalene Church, Sandringham. Diana grew up in Park House, situated on
the Sandringham estate. The family rented the house from its owner, Queen
Elizabeth II, whom Diana used to call “Aunt Lilibet” from her childhood.
Princess Diana was at a small age when her parents got separated by taking a
divorce. Diana lived with her father. Diana mentioned her childhood as not being
good or stable like others due to the disputes with her parents but in her teenage
Diana ruled over many hearts with her good deeds. She came to be known as Lady
Diana after her father took over the title of Earl Spencer in 1975. At which point
her father moved the entire family from Park House to Althorp, the Spencer seat

was not interested in academics and failed repeatedly. She left school when she
was almost 16. Though she was not interested in academics, she was a perfect
