   Young Diana
Before she became a princess, she was Lady Diana Spencer, the third of four children born to a wealthy British lord and his wife.

   Queen of Hearts
Princess Diana redefined the role of royalty by devoting herself to charitable causes, particularly the fight against AIDS, cancer and landmines. She worked tirelessly, traveling the world to raise awareness and funds for those issues.

   Diana As Mum
In 1982 Diana gave birth to son William; two years later, brother Harry was born. As a mother, Diana devoted herself to providing her sons with as normal a life as possible. Her hands-on, involved parenting style contrasted dramatically with the hands-off manner of her husband, Prince Charles.

   Life in Front of the Camera
After her televised wedding to Prince Charles (watched by an estimated 750 million viewers worldwide), Diana lived a life almost entirely in the public eye. Dubbed the "World's Most Photographed Woman," Diana had a love-hate relationship with the press. Paparazzi armed with telephoto lenses frequently violated Diana's private moments. Other times, Diana skillfully manipulated her image to earn public sympathy, often at the expense of the royal family.
