son john who sadly died soon after he

park house within the sandringham estate
which they leased from diana's future
mother-in-law queen elizabeth ii the
spencers had been friendly with the
british royal family for generations

century was a massive global event with
an audience of over 700 million people
lady diana spencer was now a member of
the british royal family becoming her
royal highness the princess of wales
charles and diana's romance may have
been seen as the stuff of fairy tales
but their relationship was tumultuous
behind the curtain before their wedding
diana reportedly found a bracelet that
charles planned to gift his
ex-girlfriend
mistress camilla parker-bowles she
voiced her deep reservations about the
marriage to her sister who allegedly
told her it was too late to chicken out
before the two even got engaged diana
was triggered by an insensitive comment
about her body made by charles leading
her to struggle with bulimia in november

it was announced that diana was pregnant
with her first child and on june 21 1982
prince william arrived the next year
diana and baby william joined charles on
a tour of australia and new zealand but

the crowds as the world's obsession with
her continued to grow much to charles's
dismay two years later on september 15

a humanitarian who used her platform to
make real changes in the world
she was a patroness to several
organizations and charities whose work
included substance use disorder

and how vulnerable
they are to exploitation in 1987 she
held hands with an aids patient in a
time when those with illnesses were
shunned and avoided her physical contact
with patients helped destigmatize hiv
aids and more importantly made a huge
impact on the lives of the patients

she was shining
