Princess Diana, born Diana Spencer in 1961, became the People's Princess after marrying Prince Charles in 1981 in a fairy-tale wedding watched by millions. She captivated the world with her warmth, style, and humanitarian work—championing causes like AIDS awareness, landmine removal, and children's hospitals—while raising Princes William and Harry. Behind the glamour, her life was marked by personal struggles, including an unhappy marriage, bulimia, and intense media scrutiny that ended in divorce in 1996.
Tragically, on August 31, 1997, at age 36, Diana died in a high-speed Paris car crash in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel. She was with boyfriend Dodi Fayed and pursued by paparazzi when their Mercedes, driven by an intoxicated chauffeur who was not wearing a seatbelt (nor were Diana or Dodi), slammed into a pillar. Official French and British inquiries concluded it was a tragic accident caused by reckless driving and pursuit, with no evidence of conspiracy despite persistent theories involving the royal family, MI6, or cover-ups.
Her death sparked global mourning, massive tributes at Kensington Palace, and enduring speculation—including claims of ghostly hauntings. Some visitors and staff have reported eerie presences or sightings of Diana's spirit lingering in the palace halls where she once lived, adding a haunting layer to her legacy as a beloved, restless icon whose influence and story refuse to fade.
