Rare pictures of Princess Diana, who is one of the most commonly photographed people in the world.
Lady Di was called the People’s Princess because she was caring and kind, and she loved regular people. She will always be remembered as the woman who made a big difference in Britain and the royal family.
She became famous when she got engaged to Prince Charles, who is Queen Elizabeth II’s oldest son and will be the next king of Britain. Once people knew about her, she was always the center of attention. Photographers followed her everywhere, and some people believe they caused her death.
The pictures below show a side of Diana that we don’t often see, and they remind us why we all admired her so much.

Unlike the rest of the engagement rings of the British royals, which are custom made, Diana’s 12-carat sapphire ring surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds set in white gold was ordered from a Garrard jewelry collection catalog. Upon her passing, the ring went to Kate Middleton after William proposed to her with it.
On her wedding day, Diana was so excited and even confused that she called her future husband Philip Charles Arthur George instead of just Charles Philip.
According to her brother Charles Spencer, Diana had a hard time wearing the tiara at the beginning because it caused her headaches.

“In the evening we all went to a sort of semi-private party and she was there and I just remember she had a cracking headache also since she wasn’t used to wearing a tiara all morning,” he said in an interview.
As much as it was very special, Diana’s wedding dress caused her some trouble as the designers of the 25-foot train failed to take into an account how challenging it would be to walk in. When she entered the carriage, Lady Di’s dress slightly crushed and appeared wrinkled as a result.
When asked whether they were in love with each other shortly after their engagement, Charles replied, “Whatever ‘in love’ means,” to Diana’s “Of course.”
