The late British Princess Diana has been described as “the most photographed woman in the world”.

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his death, we take a look at his life captured on cameras and show some of his most famous photos.

Diana Frances Spencer was born on 1 July 1961 in Park House near Sandrigham, Norfolk.

At the time she was the youngest daughter of Viscount (noble) Ullthorpe. After her parents divorced in 1969, she moved between their homes in Northamptonshire and Scotland.

Lady Diana initially attended Riddlesworth Hall Primary School in Dess, Norfolk, then in 1974 attended West Heath Boarding School near Seven Oaks, Kent.

He left West Heath in 1977 and continued his studies at the Institut Alpin Videmanette in Switzerland, which he left in the spring of 1978.

After dropping out of school, she worked in London, first as a nanny, sometimes as a cook, and then as a babysitter at Young England Nursery in Knightsbridge.

Rumors began to circulate that her friendship with the Prince of Wales would turn into something more serious.

It was then that the press and television began to haunt her everywhere, and her days in kindergarten were numbered.

On February 24, 1981, Prince Charles and Lady Diana officially announced their engagement from Buckingham Palace. The cost of an engagement ring consisting of a sapphire surrounded by 14 diamonds was around £ 30,000 (around 36,000 at today’s prices).

The ring has become very popular and is now worn by Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, wife of Prince William.

Lady Diana married Prince Charles at St Paul’s on July 29, 1981 in a televised ceremony followed by millions around the world in what has been described as the “wedding of the century”.

Diana was 20 and only seemed confused once during the party, when she found it difficult to remember her husband’s full name in the correct order.

The train of the wedding dress was 25 feet (10 meters) long and was made of taffeta and ivory lace.

About 600,000 people lined the road between Buckingham Palace and the cathedral to observe the newlyweds. The newlyweds waved their hands at the crowd from the palace balcony (pictured above), where they stood next to the young bridesmaids and Queen Elizabeth II.

Diana has always wanted to have a large family. Within a year of her marriage, on June 21, 1982, she gave birth to her first son, Prince William, who became number two in the line of succession to the throne after her father, Prince Charles.

She believed in the need to raise her children with the naturalness allowed by real circumstances. And William became the first male heir to the throne to go into foster care.

On September 5, 1984, William had a younger brother named Henry, but known as Prince Harry.

The boys were not taught by private tutors, but they went to school like other children. Diana was a loving mother to her two children.

Prince Harry once mentioned that Princess Diana was “one of the meanest mothers”, before adding that “she definitely showered us with love”.

During her first official visit to the United States, the princess danced with famous actor John Travolta at the White House.

Diana’s popularity began to increase and the princess became an icon of elegance and fashion, and there was great interest in her fashion.

She has made multiple official visits and her contribution to charities has endeared her to people’s hearts and the princess has been at the top of media headlines in various parts of the world.

The princess played an important role in highlighting the suffering of AIDS patients. Her sincere speeches about her have dealt with the injustice and prejudice to which they are subject.

Simple gestures such as shaking hands with AIDS patients were meant to show people that touching an AIDS patient is not dangerous at all.

The Prince and Princess of Wales had many royal duties together and had gone abroad on official tours. But in the late 1980s it was clear that they lived their lives separately.

During her visit to India in 1992, Diana sat alone in front of the Taj Mahal, the mausoleum that symbolizes love.

The photo was taken as a public announcement that the couple were indeed separated even though they were still officially married.

Diana had a strong friendship with Mother Teresa, the famous posthumously canonized Catholic nun.

Mother Teresa was also famous for her charitable work and received the Nobel Peace Prize after dedicating her life to helping others.

Only six days separated the death of Diana and the death of Mother Teresa.

After years of separation, Diana and Charles’ divorce became final on August 28, 1996.

In June of the following year, the princess auctioned 79 of her opaque dresses around the world.

The auction managed to raise $ 4.5 million that the princess donated to charities and the move was seen as a symbol of her turning the page on the past.

The princess made headlines in the international media in January 1997 when she called for a ban on landmines.

McGrath later said Diana’s support marked a “turning point” in global efforts to ban landmines.

On August 31, 1997, after having dinner in the restaurant of the Ritz Hotel in the French capital, Paris with Dodi Al-Fayed, son of the wealthy businessman Mohamed Al-Fayed, the two left the restaurant and took a taxi (limousine).

They were followed by photographers on motorcycles, who tried to photograph the princess and her new boyfriend.

The chase leads to tragedy in a tunnel, where the princess and her boyfriend die after their cars crash.

More than a million people followed Princess Diana’s funeral procession to Westminster Abbey, accompanying her on her final journey to the Spencer family home in Northamptonshire.

Behind the coffin (pictured above, left to right) were Prince Charles, his then 12-year-old son Harry, his brother, Earl Spencer, eldest son William and his former father-in-law, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince Philip.

A quarter of a century after her death, Lady Diana is still fondly remembered by many around the world.
