Diana, Princess of Wales

Diana, Princess of Wales

Diana, Princess of Wales (Diana Frances; née Spencer; 1 July 1961 - 31 August 1997) was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales. Their sons, Princes William and Henry (Harry), are second and third in line to the thrones of the United Kingdom and 15 other Commonwealth Realms.

Her sudden death in a car accident was followed by a spontaneous and prolonged show of public mourning throughout the United Kingdom, and to a lesser extent, worldwide. Contemporary responses to Diana's life and legacy have been mixed, but a popular fascination with the Princess endures and conspiracy theories about her death are currently the subject of an inquest.
