Diana Spencer became Diana, Princess of Wales, at the age of 20 after a “Fairytale Wedding” with Prince Charles. The ceremony became a media frenzy. She earned several other titles including the Duchess of Cornwall, Duchess of Rothesary, Countess of Chester and Baroness of Renfrew.

Princess Diana was famous for her humanitarian work and her fund-raising activities for international charities. She has received recognition for her work, as well as for her support of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. She became the president of Great Ormond Street Hospital, a London-based children's hospital, in 1989.

Like most public figures, Diana faced huge public pressure, and was the subject of worldwide media scrutiny from the day she got married to Prince Charles. After a very public divorce from Charles, she was killed in a car accident on August 31, 1997. There is speculation that the event was the fault of overzealous paparazzi.
