Diana, Princess of Wales
An estimated 2.5 billion people watched the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales. The broadcast reached more than 200 countries. In the United Kingdom the audience peaked at 32.1 million, one of the highest figures ever recorded there. In the United States it peaked at 50 million. Very few lives have closed in front of a crowd that large. During her lifetime she was often called the world's most photographed woman, and that attention did not end with her death. How did a shy young woman who struggled at school come to hold the gaze of so much of the planet? What did she do with that attention once she had it? And what did it cost her to live under it?
On the 1st of July 1961, Diana Frances Spencer was born at Park House, on the royal Sandringham estate in Norfolk. She was the fourth of five children of John Spencer, Viscount Althorp, and Frances, Viscountess Althorp. Her parents had been hoping for a boy to carry on the family line, so no name was chosen for a week. They finally settled on Diana Frances, honouring her mother and Lady Diana Spencer, a many-times-great-aunt. That earlier Lady Diana had herself been considered a possible bride for Frederick, Prince of Wales. At home the little girl was nicknamed "Duch", a nod to her duchess-like manner.
A baby brother named John had died shortly after his birth, one year before Diana was born. The wish for an heir strained her parents' marriage. Lady Althorp was sent to clinics on Harley Street in London to find the cause of the supposed problem. Diana's younger brother Charles described it as "a dreadful time for my parents and probably the root of their divorce."
Next door to Park House stood Sandringham House, where the royal family often holidayed. The Spencers leased their home from Queen Elizabeth II, whom Diana had called "Aunt Lilibet" since childhood. She played with Princes Andrew and Edward. Both of her grandmothers, Cynthia Spencer, Countess Spencer, and Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy, had served as ladies-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
In 1967 her parents separated, and Diana lived with her mother in London. During the Christmas holidays that year, Lord Althorp refused to let his daughter go back. He won custody with the support of his former mother-in-law, Lady Fermoy. By the time Diana was seven, her parents had divorced, and her mother married Peter Shand Kydd in 1969. Lord Althorp married Raine, Countess of Dartmouth, in 1976. Diana resented her stepmother, called her a "bully", and on one occasion pushed her down the stairs. Looking back, she described her childhood as "very unhappy" and "very unstable, the whole thing".
In 1975 her father inherited the title of Earl Spencer, and Diana became known as Lady Diana. He moved the whole family from Park House to Althorp, the Spencer seat in Northamptonshire.
A governess named Gertrude Allen supervised Diana's first lessons at home. Formal schooling began at Silfield Private School in King's Lynn. From the age of nine she attended Riddlesworth Hall, an all-girls boarding school near Thetford. In 1973 she joined her sisters at West Heath Girls' School in Sevenoaks, Kent. She did not shine academically and failed her O-levels twice, though the school gave her an award for community spirit. She left at sixteen. Her brother Charles remembers her as quite shy then, yet she played the piano well, excelled at swimming and diving, and studied ballet and tap dance.
Darenth Park Hospital, a psychiatric hospital near Dartford in Kent, was where Diana did voluntary work in the mid-1970s. In 1978 she spent three months as a nanny for Philippa and Jeremy Whitaker in Hampshire. She also attended a finishing school, Institut Alpin Videmanette in Rougemont, Switzerland, for a single term and left after the Easter term of 1978. Back in London, she shared her mother's flat with two school friends.
There she took an advanced cooking course and moved through a series of low-paid jobs. She worked as a dance instructor for young people until a skiing accident kept her away for three months. She assisted at a playgroup, cleaned for her sister Sarah and several friends, and hosted at parties. She nannied for the Robertsons, an American family in London. Eventually she became a nursery teacher's assistant at the Young England School in Pimlico.
For her 18th birthday in July 1979, her mother bought her a flat at Coleherne Court in Earl's Court. Diana lived there with three flatmates until the 25th of February 1981. Her next address would be a royal one.
In November 1977, sixteen-year-old Diana first met Charles, Prince of Wales. He was 29 and dating her older sister Sarah at the time. A country weekend in the summer of 1980 brought them together again, and Charles took a serious interest in her as a potential bride. He invited her to a sailing weekend to Cowes aboard the royal yacht Britannia. Next came an invitation to Balmoral Castle, the royal family's Scottish residence, to meet his relatives. The Queen, the Queen Mother, and the Duke of Edinburgh all received her warmly.
Charles proposed at Windsor Castle on the 6th of February 1981, and Diana accepted. The engagement stayed secret for two and a half weeks. It became official on the 24th of February 1981, and Diana chose her own engagement ring. She gave up her job and moved first into Clarence House, the Queen Mother's residence. Then she lived at Buckingham Palace until the wedding. The biographer Ingrid Seward said her life there was "incredibly lonely".
More than 300 years had passed since an Englishwoman last married the first in line to the throne. That was Anne Hyde, who wed James, Duke of York and Albany, later James VII and II. Diana was also the first royal bride to hold a paying job before her engagement. Her first public appearance with Charles came at a charity ball at Goldsmiths' Hall in March 1981. There she was introduced to Princess Grace of Monaco.
On the 29th of July 1981, the 20-year-old Diana married the 32-year-old Charles and became Princess of Wales. The ceremony took place at St Paul's Cathedral, which offered more seating than Westminster Abbey, the usual church for royal weddings. About 600,000 spectators lined the streets along the route. A global television audience of 750 million watched what many called a "fairytale wedding".
At the altar, Diana accidentally reversed the first two of Charles's names and said "Philip Charles" Arthur George. She also omitted the traditional vow to obey him. The couple had asked for that line to be dropped, and it drew some comment. Her dress was valued at £9,000 and had a 25-foot train, about 7.62 metres.
Within a few years, the Queen lent her the Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Tiara. She also granted Diana the badge of the Royal Family Order of Elizabeth II.
On the 5th of November 1981, the palace announced that Diana was expecting a child. In January 1982, twelve weeks into the pregnancy, she fell down a staircase at Sandringham. She was bruised, the royal gynaecologist George Pinker was summoned from London, and the foetus was unharmed. Diana later confessed that she had thrown herself down the stairs on purpose because she felt "so inadequate".
Prince William was born on the 21st of June 1982. Diana suffered from postpartum depression afterwards. Despite some media criticism, she took the baby William on her first major tours of Australia and New Zealand, and the public applauded the choice. By her own admission, she had not planned to bring him at first. The suggestion came from the Australian prime minister, Malcolm Fraser.
Harry, the second son, was born on the 15th of September 1984. Diana said that she and Charles were closest during that pregnancy. She knew the baby was a boy but told no one, including Charles, who had hoped for a girl.
Diana gave her sons a wider range of experiences than royal children usually had. She rarely deferred to Charles or the wider royal family when it came to the boys. She picked their first given names, dismissed a royal nanny and hired one of her own choosing, and chose their schools and clothes. She planned their outings, took them to school herself whenever her schedule allowed, and built her public duties around their timetables.
She was reported to have called Harry "naughty, just like me". William she called "my little wise old man", and by his early teens she had started relying on him as a confidant.
By 1987 the British press had a nickname for the Prince and Princess of Wales: "the Glums". Reporters described their evident discomfort in each other's company. Trouble had begun earlier. Five years into the marriage, the couple's incompatibility and age difference had become damaging. In 1986 Diana began a relationship with James Hewitt, the family's former riding instructor. In the same year Charles resumed his relationship with his former girlfriend, Camilla Parker Bowles.
Speculation that Hewitt, rather than Charles, was Harry's father rested on an alleged physical resemblance. Hewitt and others denied it. The dates also count against it, since Harry was born two years before Diana and Hewitt met.
In 1989, at a birthday party for Parker Bowles's sister, Annabel Elliot, Diana confronted Parker Bowles about her affair with Charles. Secret interviews that James Colthurst conducted with Diana in 1991 later served as a source for Andrew Morton's 1992 book, Diana: Her True Story. The book exposed the affairs and revealed Diana's allegedly suicidal unhappiness, causing a media storm. During her lifetime, both Diana and Morton denied that she took a direct part in the writing. After her death Morton acknowledged her role in an updated edition titled Diana: Her True Story in Her Own Words.
Prince Philip wrote to Diana to express his disappointment at the extramarital affairs of both her and Charles. He asked her to consider their behaviour from the other's point of view. Diana found the letters difficult but appreciated his good intent. The Queen and Philip also hosted a meeting between the couple and failed to reconcile them. Her friend Simone Simmons alleged that Diana and Philip had a tense relationship, while other observers saw no friction in the letters. Philip later issued a statement publicly denying that he had insulted Diana.
In August 1992, recordings of Diana speaking with James Gilbey were made public, and transcripts appeared the same month in what became known as Squidgygate. In December 1992, Prime Minister John Major told the House of Commons that the couple had decided to separate "amicably". He added that "there is no reason why the Princess of Wales should not be crowned queen in due course". Early the next year, the Tampongate tapes, which captured intimate exchanges between Charles and Parker Bowles, reached the tabloids.
Between 1992 and 1993, Diana hired Peter Settelen as a voice coach to help her speak in public. In a 1992 videotape he recorded, she said that from 1984 to 1986 she had been "deeply in love with someone who worked in this environment". It is thought she meant Barry Mannakee, who was moved to the Diplomatic Protection Squad in 1986 after his managers judged his relationship with Diana inappropriate. On the tapes she called him "the greatest friend she's ever had" and denied any sexual relationship. She also spoke bitterly of Charles. "He made me feel so inadequate in every possible way, that each time I came up for air he pushed me down again."
On the 29th of June 1994, Charles gave a televised interview to Jonathan Dimbleby. He said he had rekindled his relationship with Parker Bowles in 1986 only after his marriage had "irretrievably broken down". That same year, Anna Pasternak's book Princess in Love described Diana's affair with Hewitt in detail, with Hewitt as its main source. Diana was evidently disturbed and outraged. Pasternak claimed that Hewitt acted with Diana's support to keep the affair out of Morton's second book. The News of the World also claimed an affair with the art dealer Oliver Hoare, which Diana denied, describing him as a friend.
Privacy battles ran alongside the heartbreak. In February 1982, pictures of a pregnant Diana in a bikini on holiday were published, and the Queen called it "the blackest day in the history of British journalism". In 1993, Mirror Group Newspapers published photographs of Diana exercising in a gym, taken by the gym owner Bryce Taylor. The courts granted an injunction against further publication. The newspaper group later apologised, paid Diana £1 million for her legal costs, and gave £200,000 to her charities.
In these years Diana often dined at San Lorenzo, an Italian restaurant in Knightsbridge. Her companions included her children, close friends, journalists, and what the biographer Tina Brown called a "praetorian guard of distracting flirts". The restaurant became a focus for paparazzi photographers who stalked her.
On the 20th of November 1995, the BBC current affairs show Panorama broadcast Martin Bashir's interview with Diana. Speaking of Charles's relationship with Parker Bowles, she said: "Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded." She also doubted her husband's suitability for kingship. She confirmed her struggles with depression, bulimia, and repeated self-harm, and the show's transcript records her acknowledging many of these problems.
The means of securing the interview later came under scrutiny. It emerged that Bashir had used forged bank statements to win the trust of Diana and her brother, falsely suggesting that people close to her had been paid for spying. Lord Dyson conducted an independent inquiry and concluded that Bashir had "little difficulty in playing on Diana's fears and paranoia". Her son William shared that view.
The interview proved to be the tipping point. On the 20th of December 1995, Buckingham Palace announced that the Queen had written to Charles and Diana advising them to divorce. Prime Minister John Major and senior privy counsellors backed her move. According to the BBC, it was decided after two weeks of talks. Charles agreed in a written statement soon afterwards. In February 1996, Diana announced her own agreement after negotiations, irritating the palace by issuing her own statement of the terms.
The decree nisi was granted on the 15th of July 1996, and the divorce was finalised on the 28th of August 1996. Anthony Julius represented Diana. She received a lump sum of £17 million and £400,000 per year, and the couple shared custody of their children. They also signed a confidentiality agreement barring discussion of their married life. She lost the style "Her Royal Highness" and became Diana, Princess of Wales. As mother of a future king, she kept the precedence she had enjoyed during the marriage.
William reportedly reassured her: "Don't worry, Mummy, I will give it back to you one day, when I am king." According to Tina Brown, Prince Philip had warned Diana nearly a year earlier: "If you don't behave, my girl, we'll take your title away." She is said to have replied: "My title is a lot older than yours, Philip."
After the divorce, Diana kept the double apartment on the north side of Kensington Palace, which remained her home until her death. She moved her offices there and was allowed to use state apartments at St James's Palace. From September 1996 she had to pay her own bills. She had refused police security in her final years in an attempt to distance herself from the royal family. After her death it emerged that she had been talking with Prime Minister Tony Blair about a special role that would give her campaigns a government platform.
Her circle of friends included Elton John, Liza Minnelli, George Michael, Michael Jackson, and Gianni Versace, whose funeral she attended in 1997. She also dated the British-Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan, called "the love of her life" by many close friends after her death. She is said to have called him "Mr. Wonderful". In May 1996, Imran Khan, a relative of Hasnat Khan, invited her to Lahore, where she secretly visited his family. The relationship lasted almost two years, with differing accounts of who ended it. Khan told the inquest into her death that Diana ended it in the summer of 1997.
Within a month, she began a relationship with Dodi Fayed, son of her summer host, Mohamed Al-Fayed. Security officials had blocked her idea of a holiday in the Hamptons on Long Island, and she decided against Thailand. She accepted an invitation to the south of France, where the Fayed compound and its large security detail would not worry the Royal Protection squad. Mohamed Al-Fayed bought the Jonikal, a 60-metre yacht, to entertain Diana and her sons.
The 1983 tour of Australia and New Zealand, with Charles and the baby William, drew immense crowds. The press focused more on Diana than on Charles and coined the term "Dianamania". Near the Sydney Opera House she burst into tears in a car for a few minutes, which her office put down to jet lag and heat. When the couple returned to Australia in autumn 1985, the media called her "Di-amond Princess" and the "Jewel in the Crown".
India in 1992 produced one of her most famous pictures, Diana alone in front of the Taj Mahal. On that trip she visited Mother Teresa's hospice in Kolkata. The two women met again later the same month in Rome and developed a personal relationship.
At Harlem Hospital Center in February 1989, Diana spontaneously hugged a seven-year-old child with AIDS. She had begun her work with AIDS patients in the 1980s, when the condition carried heavy stigma. In 1987 she held hands with a patient, and she was the first British royal to make such contact. That year she also opened the Middlesex Hospital's AIDS ward, the first hospital unit in the UK dedicated to the cause. She said: "HIV does not make people dangerous to know. You can shake their hands and give them a hug." The Queen did not support this work and suggested she get involved in "something more pleasant". In July 1989 Diana opened the Landmark Aids Centre in South London, and in October 1990 she opened Grandma's House, a home for young AIDS patients in Washington, DC.
In March 1997 she met Nelson Mandela in South Africa. On the 2nd of November 2002, he announced that the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund would join the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund to help people with AIDS. The two had planned the combination a few months before her death. Mandela praised her for helping to transform public attitudes.
A visit to a leprosy hospital in Indonesia in November 1989 led Diana to become patron of the Leprosy Mission. In March 1993 she visited a leprosy hospital in Nepal and touched patients, the first time a visiting dignitary had ever done so. Many people then believed the disease could spread through casual contact. Her aim, she said, was "to show in a simple action that they are not reviled, nor are we repulsed".
In January 1997, pictures of Diana walking through an Angolan minefield in a ballistic helmet and flak jacket were seen around the world. She was patron of the HALO Trust, which clears debris, particularly landmines, left behind by war. Lord Howe, an official in the Ministry of Defence, accused her of meddling in politics and called her a "loose cannon". HALO says her efforts nonetheless raised international awareness of landmines. In June 1997 she gave a speech at a landmines conference at the Royal Geographical Society. From the 7th to the 10th of August 1997, just days before her death, she visited Bosnia and Herzegovina with Jerry White and Ken Rutherford of the Landmine Survivors Network.
Her work has been described as influential in the signing of the Ottawa Treaty, which created an international ban on anti-personnel landmines. In 1998, introducing the Landmines Bill to the House of Commons, Foreign Secretary Robin Cook paid tribute to her contribution. A few months after her death, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines won the Nobel Peace Prize.
In 1991, Diana carried out 397 official engagements, up from 191 in 1988. Stephen Lee directed the UK Institute of Charity Fundraising Managers. He said: "Her overall effect on charity is probably more significant than any other person's in the 20th century." She served as president of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children from 1989 and of Barnardo's from 1984 to 1996. She became president of the Royal Marsden Hospital on the 27th of June 1989. In 1992 she became patron of Centrepoint, a homelessness charity, and she took William and Harry on private visits to its services.
The day after her divorce, she resigned from over 100 charities and kept only six patronages. These were Centrepoint, English National Ballet, Great Ormond Street Hospital, The Leprosy Mission, the National AIDS Trust, and the Royal Marsden Hospital. In June 1997, at William's suggestion, she sold some of her dresses and suits at Christie's auctions in London and New York for charity. Her final official engagement was a visit to Northwick Park Hospital on the 21st of July 1997. She was due at a fundraiser for the Osteopathic Centre for Children on the 4th of September 1997, on her return from Paris.
Around 2:00 am on the 31st of August 1997, Diana arrived at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris after a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel. Her driver had been fleeing the paparazzi. She was pronounced dead at about 4:00 am, aged 36. Dodi Fayed and the driver, Henri Paul, who was also acting security manager of the Hôtel Ritz Paris, died in the crash. The bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones survived with a serious head injury.
The initial French judicial investigation blamed Paul's intoxication, reckless driving, speeding, and the effects of prescription drugs. In February 1998, Mohamed Al-Fayed publicly claimed the crash had been planned and accused MI6 and the Duke of Edinburgh. In 2003 Paul Burrell published a note he said Diana wrote in 1995, voicing fear of a staged car accident. Charles told Operation Paget investigators from the Metropolitan Police that he knew nothing of it. The London inquest began in 2004 and continued through 2007 and 2008. On the 7th of April 2008, its jury returned a verdict of unlawful killing, citing gross negligence by Paul and the pursuing paparazzi. The following day Al-Fayed ended his ten-year campaign to prove murder, saying he did so for the sake of Diana's children.
People left flowers, candles, cards, and messages outside Kensington Palace for many months. Charles and Diana's two sisters brought her coffin, draped in the royal flag, from Paris to London on the 31st of August. On the 5th of September, Queen Elizabeth II paid tribute in a live television broadcast. The funeral took place at Westminster Abbey on the 6th of September. William and Harry walked behind the coffin, joined by Charles, the Duke of Edinburgh, Lord Spencer, and representatives of her charities. Lord Spencer paid tribute to his sister. "She proved in the last year that she needed no royal title to continue to generate her particular brand of magic." Elton John sang "Candle in the Wind 1997", rewritten for her, which he has performed live only on that occasion.
The burial followed privately later that day. Diana wore a black long-sleeved dress by Catherine Walker that she had chosen weeks earlier, and rosary beads from Mother Teresa were placed in her hands. Her grave lies on an island in the grounds of Althorp Park. Soldiers of the 2nd Battalion the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment carried her coffin across to it. She had been the regiment's Colonel-in-Chief from 1992 to 1996. The original plan was the Spencer family vault in Great Brington. Lord Spencer feared the crowds would overwhelm the village, so he chose a place where William, Harry, and relatives could visit in privacy.
On the first anniversary of her death, flags at Buckingham Palace and other royal residences flew at half-mast on the Queen's orders. Before 1997, no flag could fly at half-mast over the palace, not even on a monarch's death. The Union Flag, though not the Royal Standard, has since been lowered after the deaths of royal family members and at times of national mourning.
Diana left an estate of £21 million, and her will left the bulk to her sons. Her wishes for a share to go to her 17 godchildren were set aside because her letter of wishes lacked language required by British law. In 1999, a Freedom of Information request revealed that the American National Security Agency had kept a top secret file of more than 1,000 pages on her. The agency has refused to release it, insisting she was not a target of its eavesdropping.
The Concert for Diana at Wembley Stadium on the 1st of July 2007 marked what would have been her 46th birthday. William and Harry organised it, and the proceeds went to her charities. For the 20th anniversary of her death, Kensington Palace announced the exhibition "Diana: Her Fashion Story", displaying gowns and suits she wore. Kensington Gardens received a new section, "The White Garden", as part of the tributes.
