In a tragic car accident 25 years ago, Princess Diana died, causing mourning and sadness around the world.

Diana Spencer was born on June 1, 1961 into an aristocratic family, the third of four children belonging to a family of nobility.
In 1977, she met Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, at the luxurious Althorp House.
In February 1981, her engagement to Charles made public. On 29 July of the same year, they got married in a lavish ceremony at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. She became Princess of Wales.
The couple’s first son, William, was born on June 21, 1982, and his younger brother Henry, known as Harry, was born on September 15, 1984.
In 1986, Charles renewed his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, a woman he later described as “the love of his life.” Diana suffered from bulimia, a serious disorder in eating habits. The royal couple continued their public duties, but each lived his private life in isolation from the other.
In June 1992, her biography, “Diana – Her True Story,” was published by journalist Andrew Morton in secret collaboration with her. Her biography later showed that she was a victim in the shackles of a loveless marriage and that she attempted suicide to attract Charles’ attention.
In August of that year, newspapers published excerpts of a recorded phone conversation between Diana and James Gilbey, who called her “soft” and repeatedly told her he loved her.
Official separation
Prime Minister John Major later announced the couple’s official separation in Parliament in December.
Prince Charles gave a television interview in 1994 in which he admitted infidelity, saying that he remained faithful in his marriage “until it ended irretrievably (although) we both tried.
On November 20, 1995, Diana gave a television interview with BBC correspondent Martin Bashir in which she admitted to infidelity with former army officer James Hewitt.
There were three people in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded,” she said, referring to Charles’ relationship with Camilla.
On August 28, 1996, Charles and Diana divorced, ending a 15-year marriage.
However, Diana died on August 31, 1997 in a car accident in Paris with her lover, Dodi Al-Fayed.
