History

Princesses have always been popular. And if earlier they were admired for life circumstances, then with the advent of the era of cinema and television, they became magical creatures who can do everything.

Movies and cartoons have allowed us to look at old stories from a new angle. The first adaptations of children's fairy tales (although now we would not consider them children's) appeared in the late 30s of the XX century. Then, in 1937, the first "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was released, one of the earliest Disney animated films - this is a cult cartoon that opens the era of princesses on television. Much later, another princess overturned all traditional views on these heroines at 1995, when the series “Xena: Warrior Princess” was released (in the original, she is considered a princess, not a queen, since the name of the series sounds like “Xena: Warrior Princess” in English).

However, these two masterpieces are not related to the National Princess Day. And the creation of the holiday itself was influenced by the appearance of the cartoon "The Swan Princess" - a musical adaptation of one of the most famous productions of "Swan Lake".

  5. There is a tradition common to all aristocratic families in Great Britain.

Biography of Princess Diana: the period before the wedding with Charles

If you find a biography of Princess Diana in Russian, it will indicate that the future representative of the royal family was born and raised in Sandringham Hall, which her family occupied for many years in a row . Her aristocratic roots connected the future princess with the descendants of King Charles II and Jacob. Lady Dee's distant relatives were the Duke of Marlborough and Winston Churchill. The princess' father, John Spencer, was a viscount, and her mother, Frances Shand Kydd, came from a line of barons, and she also served at the court of Queen Elizabeth for some time. nine0005

Diana was the fourth child and third daughter of the Spencer family. The future princess was born in the summer of 1961, a year after her parents lost their first dreamed-up son. To continue the aristocratic family, a male heir was needed, but Francis gave birth to his third daughter, and relations between the couple began to gradually cool. Despite the fact that the couple soon had a boy, whom John dreamed about so much, this event did not save the marriage. Both sought solace in their hobbies: the viscount played cricket and was constantly on the hunt, and his wife had an affair on the side. As a result, Princess Diana's parents divorced when she was eight years old, and this will leave a heavy mark on her biography. nine0005

However, even before this sad event, the girl was not happy as a child. From early childhood, the story of Princess Diana is filled with a series of sad experiences and moments. Mom and dad paid almost no attention to her, older sisters did not try to make friends with her, and Diana never heard words of support and love from her close ones. It would seem that the breakup of the parents' relationship was predictable, since they finally stopped torturing each other with their life together.

Frances, carried away by a passion for her new lover, left her children in the care of the viscount and went with her lover to Scotland. After her mother left Sandringham Hall, Diana did not see her for many years until she appeared at her wedding to the heir to the British throne. nine0005

Diana Frances Spencer was homeschooled. Then she became a student at West Hill Private School, which also included Sarah and Jane. The future princess of Great Britain always preferred creative pursuits: she was fond of dancing, drawing and swimming, and it was difficult for a girl to master the exact sciences. The final exams turned out to be a real test for the girl, which is why she was left without a diploma.

In her youth, Princess Diana was a gentle and calm teenager, but at times she could be incredibly stubborn. Her main qualities were modesty and shyness. A very short biography of Princess Diana is not able to contain the mental anguish that caused her to develop self-doubt. She suffered from numerous complexes, which grew out of a feeling of uselessness, generated by a lack of parental attention. nine0005

In 1975 Father Viscount John Spencer received the earldom, after which he married his second wife, the Countess of Dartmouth named Raine. The offspring of the former viscount did not like the woman - they did not want to communicate with her, sit at the same table, called names and ignored her when she tried to start a conversation. However, Diana Spencer never stooped to such behavior. She began to communicate with her stepmother many years later, after her father died. Looking ahead, we note that Raine became one of the few who supported Lady Dee after her divorce from Charles. nine0005

Two years later, the princess moved to Switzerland, where she intended to complete her studies. However, the sadness that she experienced far from home forced the girl to return to the UK. In London, another life test awaited her - work. However, this moment of the biography is associated with pleasant memories for Princess Diana.

By tradition, every member of an English aristocratic family is required to work on an equal footing with all other citizens of the United Kingdom. Upon returning to the capital, Diana got a job as an assistant teacher in the Young England kindergarten. This is a functioning preschool - it still operates today and is proud of its connection with the royal family. Today, Diana is a princess whose history is inextricably linked with innovations in the way of the British monarchy. nine0005

The girl settled in a small London apartment and led a life far from aristocracy. As a gift for her eighteenth birthday, she received her own apartment, in which she lived with three friends. Despite the freedom she received, Lady Dee did not go into all serious trouble and avoided noisy parties, drugs, cigarettes and alcohol.

Diana and Prince Charles

It didn't take long for the charming girl to enjoy her freedom. Very soon, the whole country will talk about Princess Diana - an unexpected event will occur in her biography that will forever change Spencer's life. nine0005

She first saw Charles, heir to the British throne and son of Queen Elizabeth, in 1977. It is unlikely that he made a strong impression on the 16-year-old Diana, especially since at that time the prince was completely absorbed in communicating with her older sister Sarah. Prior to this, the potential bride of the future king even visited the palace for an official reception.

Everyone believed that it was Sarah who would soon become a princess, but the girl had other plans for life. She was not going to join the royal family, so she skillfully spoiled her own reputation by spending time at noisy parties with alcohol, as well as spreading rumors that she could not have children. The Spencer family was pleased with the queen's favor, so they suggested that she pay attention to Diana. nine0005

Elizabeth did just that. Sarah was given in marriage to another man, from whom she subsequently gave birth to three children. The queen had other reasons to consider Diana as a potential bride - Elizabeth liked her much more than Camilla Shand, from whom her son was simply crazy.

Camilla was an experienced woman, self-confident, smart and sexy, and it was these qualities that attracted Charles to her, who liked sophisticated ladies, and not innocent, shy girls like Diana. But Camilla could not boast of a rich pedigree, so the royal family arranged her wedding with officer Andrew Parker-Bowles, who at that time was in love with Princess Anne. nine0005

While Charles was busy serving in the British Marines, Camilla got married, but this did not affect their relationship in any way. The couple continued to meet after Shand's wedding. The marriage and the imminent birth of heirs did not stop him from having a connection with the mistress of the British prince. In the biography of Princess Diana, including in English, you can find a famous phrase that she would later say in one of the interviews. "There were three of us in the marriage, and I don't like crowds."

Every day the Queen became more and more convinced that Diana Spencer, whose years of life were marked by the incredible popularity of the British royal family, was an excellent match for the heir to the throne. She was not involved in scandals, there were no rumors trailing behind her, the girl had an ideal reputation as a quiet and modest aristocrat. To fulfill his duty to the monarchy and the country, Charles began to invite the girl on dates. They visited the yacht, and then Diana arrived at an official event at Buckingham Palace, where at dinner she received a marriage proposal from the most enviable groom in the whole country. nine0005

It was unlikely that Miss Spencer could refuse, so already in the winter of 1981 she began to appear at public events with a luxurious ring with blue sapphire and diamonds.

In the spring of the same year, Diana settled in the palace. The girl who dreamed of a fabulous life was disappointed when she realized that her aspirations were not destined to come true. And this will be the beginning of a series of disappointments for Princess Diana, which will be many in Lady Di's biography. She knew that Charles did not have tender feelings for her, but she hoped that this would change after the engagement. Or at least after marriage. But after the prince proposed to her, they met several more times - and each time there were strangers nearby. They spoke only in the presence of other members of the royal family or servants, and always only on one topic - a magnificent wedding celebration. nine0005

The most joyful event in the biography of Princess Diana was the birth of children

Lady Di with her son William, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip and Charles

the young bride languished alone in the huge chambers. Abandoned by everyone, serving only as a beautiful symbol of the strength of the British monarchy, Miss Spencer again felt like a little girl, forgotten and unnecessary. In this regard, the biography of Princess Diana of Wales will not differ too much from the period when she was in her parental home. The future wife of the heir to the throne suffered from bouts of bulimia and lost a lot of weight. Before the wedding, she had to urgently change her outfit. nine0005

The celebration took place on July 29, 1981. The royal wedding was broadcast on all channels, Londoners and tourists lined up in a huge queue to watch the cortege, which moved along the streets of the capital to St. Paul's Cathedral, where the marriage took place. It was on the day that Princess Diana and Prince Charles got married that she first spoke out against the rules. During the vow, she did not mention the part that was dedicated to "eternal obedience", and also mixed up the order of her fiancé's names. What Princess Diana is most famous for is that she was the first to change the text of the wedding vow forever. nine0005

The wedding ended in Broadlands, where the newlyweds were finally left alone. A couple of days later, the prince and princess left on their honeymoon trip, which included a Mediterranean cruise. After returning to the UK, the couple settled in Kensington Palace. Charles began to visit Camille again and lead a wild life. At this time, Princess Diana was expecting the birth of her first son - in the maelstrom of loneliness, children will become the brightest part of Lady Di's biography. nine0005

The fact that the royal family is expecting replenishment was reported in late autumn. The next few months, the life of Princess Diana also did not look like a fairy tale - she spent them in seclusion. Her only guests were doctors and servants, the heir to the throne visited his wife only occasionally, which made her again feel the self-doubt familiar from childhood. Added to everything else was depressing jealousy.

Everyday life and at the same time the pages of the biography became brighter with the birth of Princess Diana's children. Sons were a real outlet for Lady Di, who herself happily took care of them, refusing the services of nannies. Her first child, William, was born at 1982, and Harry was born two years later. Relations between the spouses continued to deteriorate, which is why the former Lady Spencer was often depressed, suffered from bulimia and used sedatives.

To get rid of the feeling of uselessness and abandonment, Diana, whose family life was actively discussed with the future king, began to seek solace in the arms of her lover, James Hewitt. She met him during riding lessons. This relationship lasted for almost nine years, and rumors about them were made public. The biography of Princess Diana is described in Anna Pasternak's book entitled "Princess in Love", published in 1994 year. Two years later, the eponymous film directed by David Green was released. Needless to say, all this time Charles was having fun with Camilla Shand.

In 1992, it became impossible to hide the relationship of the spouses on the side - evidence of the betrayal of Elizabeth's eldest son was leaked to the press - his intimate conversations with his mistress. This led to a scandal, followed by the divorce of Princess Diana and Prince Charles.

Diana after her divorce from the prince

Diana gained incredible popularity in a few years. She was loved not only in Britain, but also far beyond its borders. Lady Dee received many nicknames, each of which proved the public respect and love of the people. The most famous among them is the Queen of Human Hearts. A poll conducted in 2002 showed that Diana Princess of Wales ranked third in the list of the hundred greatest Britons in history. At first, her popularity was an advantage for the monarchy, but later it was she who led to the fact that Diana was not afraid to oppose the royal family. nine0005

She gave a candid interview about her family life and allowed it to be published. Since then, Elizabeth no longer saw her as an ideal daughter-in-law, and the people's love for Lady Dee eclipsed even the glory of the members of the royal family.

In 1992, the country's prime minister announced that the prince and princess were no longer living together. And in 1994, Charles admitted to an extramarital affair, speaking on national television with interviews and appealing for understanding. Note that Diana's wardrobe consisted of bows approved by the royal protocol, she wore a maxi dress, a sheath dress and a mini dress in the same way, but in the biography of the English princess there are outfits that oppose the rules. Lady Di's fans especially remembered the "revenge dress". His mother of William and Harry put on the same evening when the queen's son was frank with the British. The instrument of revenge, which was her beauty and sexuality, allowed the "Queen of Human Hearts" to emerge victorious. nine0005

Three years later, Diana appeared on television and publicly confessed all the suffering she suffered because of Charles' adultery. Princess Diana's husband, in response, announced that his wife is a real psychopath.

Divorce proceedings began, which ended a year later - in 1996. Born Spencer was free again. She was stripped of her form of address as Her Royal Highness and not allowed to see her children, but Princess Diana's story suggests that this was the price to pay for speaking out against the monarchy. True, as the mother of the prince who was to take the throne, she was granted the same preeminence that she enjoyed during her marriage. nine0005

Judging by the photos published in the press, the biography of Princess Diana was still of interest to a wide audience. Especially her personal life. She also dreamed of love and female happiness. This is exactly what Lady Dee tried to arrange after her divorce. Hasnat Khan, a Pakistani-born cardiac surgeon, became her chosen one. With her new lover, Diana was truly happy, enjoying a free life and equal relations, although Khan himself was in no hurry to lead the former princess down the aisle. nine0005

Their relationship began to deteriorate, and very soon Lady Dee realized that Hasnat was afraid to associate his life with her because of jealousy of her fame and popularity. She did not dare to break off the relationship for a long time, but, in the end, she left the heart surgeon.

The last man in the life of a British aristocrat was Dodi Al-Fayed, whom she met on the yacht of his father, businessman Mohammed Al-Fayed. Dodi dreamed of personally talking with such a famous woman as Lady Dee. The businessman wanted to know what the one who was compared with Jacqueline Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor really was. After meeting Dodi, an affair began between Diana and the producer, which lasted until the last day of the life of the "People's Princess". nine0005

Death of Princess Diana

All Britons and many foreigners who followed the life of an aristocrat know when their favorite passed away. At the end of the summer of 1997, Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed died in a car accident that happened in Paris. The car "Mercedes S280" with the number "688 LTV 75" with a driver and three passengers flew into the tunnel support at high speed. The driver and producer died instantly, and Diana died a few hours later in the hospital, where doctors tried to save her life. Princess bodyguard Trevor Rhys-Jones was seriously injured and did not remember the details of what happened. nine0005

Various reasons have been put forward for the accident that led to the death of Princess Diana and became the last chapter in her biography. The driver's blood was found to contain alcohol several times higher than the legal limit. In addition, the car was moving at great speed, trying to break away from the paparazzi chasing the princess and her companion. Also, so-called conspiracy theories were built around the tragic event, according to which the British services wanted to get rid of Diana.

As evidence, the public was presented with a letter that Charles's ex-wife handed over to butler Paul Burrell for safekeeping. In it, Diana noted that she considers the current stage of her life the most dangerous. John Spencer's daughter indicated that an "accident" was planned - her car's brakes would suddenly fail, she would suffer a head injury, and this would pave the way for the Queen's son to marry. Based on this message, which existed in her biography, Princess Diana predicted her death. nine0005

The fact is that shortly before writing the letter, Lady Dee's bodyguard died in an accident. She was sure that the accident was initiated by the British authorities. Therefore, the princess was really worried about her safety and the condition of the car she was driving.

Also, one of the versions of the development of events is the confidence of Dodi's father, businessman Mohammed Al-Fayed, that Princess Diana is pregnant. In his opinion, the royal family could not allow a Muslim Egyptian to become the stepfather of the future king of England, and set up a car accident. However, the autopsy of the body did not confirm this assumption. nine0005

Conspiracy theorists claimed that driver Henri Paul, who was head of security at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, set up the crash. Information surfaced that he allegedly was in collusion with the secret services of France or Great Britain. It was noted that Paul did not drink alcohol before the trip, and no one saw him drunk. This was specifically told to journalists in order to cover their tracks. It was also said that his body was replaced with the body of another person at the scene of the accident. By the way, much larger amounts were found on Henri's accounts than the police expected. nine0005

Diana's fans, fascinated by her biography, also believed that the death of the princess was due to incorrect medical care. According to French law, an ambulance team must perform certain manipulations on the spot, and then deliver the victim to the hospital. In the UK, a person is taken to a medical facility immediately. One way or another, Diana was in critical condition after the accident. She suffered a concussion, a broken arm, and extensive chest injuries. The two-hour operation did not help, and the princess died of internal bleeding at 4:53 am on August 31, 1997 years.

At the end of 2007, the ex-commissioner of Scotland Yard, Lord John Stevens, presented a report, according to the conclusions of which the alcohol content in the blood of the driver Henri Paul at the time of his death was three times higher than that allowed by the laws of France. And the speed of the car exceeded the allowable speed in this place twice. Moreover, the passengers, including Princess Diana, were not wearing seat belts, which played a significant role in their death.

Memory of Princess Diana

The tragic death of Lady Dee was a real shock to people around the world. Britain mourned her beloved by bringing flowers to Kensington Palace. Queen Elizabeth came from Scotland to pay tribute to her dead daughter-in-law. The funeral of Princess Diana was truly royal, during which Sir Elton John performed one of his compositions dedicated to his close friend.

Diana gained immense popularity due to her courage and kind heart. She founded a fund to help people with AIDS, visited them in hospitals without using a protective mask and gloves. The wife of the future king traveled to third world countries, was not afraid to walk through a minefield and supported the soldiers who suffered during the civil war in Angola.
