An iconic presence in the world stage, Diana, Princess of Wales was noted for his pioneering work of charity. However, his philanthropic endeavors were overshadowed by her scandal-plagued marriage to Prince Charles. Her bitteraccusations via friends and biographers of adultery, mental cruelty and emotional distress visited upon her riveted the world for much dadécada 1990, resulting inbooks, magazine articles and television movies.





Since the time of his engagement to the Prince of Wales in 1981 until his death ina car accident in 1997, the Princess was arguably the most famous womandomundo, pre-eminent celebrity of her generation: a fashion icon, a imagemdefeminine beauty, admired and emulated by his prominent participation in AIDSandin international campaign against landmines. During her life she was often referred to as the most photographed person in the world. To his admirers, the Princess of Wales was a role model - after her death, she had yet to be named callto holiness, while her detractors saw her life as a tale of how an obsession withpublicity can destroy a person .

The wedding took place in St Paul's Cathedral in London on Wednesday, July 29, 1981 compared to 3500 guests (including Mrs. Parker Bowles and her husband, afiltrate of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother) and about 1 billion viewers around the world. Diana was the first Englishwoman to marry an heir to the thronedesde1659, when Lady Anne Hyde married the Duke of York and Albany, the future king JaimeII. After her marriage, Diana became Her Royal Highness thePrincess of Wales and was ranked as the highest real women in the UnitedKingdom after the Queen and Queen Mother.




The Prince and Princess of Wales had two sons, Prince William of Wales on 21 June 1982 and Prince Henry of Wales (commonly called Prince Harry) on September 15, 1984.

After the birth of Prince William, Princess of Wales suffered from postpartum depression. She had suffered from bulimia nervosa, who returned, and she made a series of suicide attempts. In an interview, released after his death, she claimed that, while pregnant with Prince William, she threw herself to a set of stairs and was discovered by her mother-in-law (ie, Queen Elizabeth II). It has been suggested that she had not actually intended to end his life (or suicide attempts, it never happened) and she was just making a "cry for help." In the same interview he spoke about the suicide attempt while pregnant with Prince William, she said her husband accused her of crying wolf when she threatened to kill himself. It was also suggested that she suffered from borderline personality disorder.

In the mid 1980s her marriage fell apart, an event at first suppressed but then sensationalized, by the world media. Both the Prince and Princess of Wales spoke to the press through friends, accusing each other of guilt for the death of marriage. Charles resumed his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, whilst Diana became involved with James Hewitt and possibly later with James Gilbey, with whom she was involved in the case called Squidgygate.She later confirmed (in a television interview with Martin Bashir) the affair with her riding instructor, James Hewitt. (Theoretically, such a case consists of high treason by both parties.) Another alleged lover was assigned a bodyguard of Princess security detail, although the princess vehemently denied a sexual relationship with him. After her separation from Prince Charles, Diana was supposedly involved with married art dealer Oliver Hoare, rugby player Will Carling and the heart surgeon Hasnat Khan before finally getting involved with Dodi Al Fayed.The Prince and Princess of Wales were separated on 9 December 1992, his divorce was finalized on August 28, 1996. The Princess lost the style and title Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales and instead was known as Diana, Princess of Wales, however, at that time, and even today holds Buckingham Palace, once the princess was the mother of the second and third in line of succession to the throne, she was officially a member of the Royal Family.






In 2004, NBC TV broadcast recordings of Diana discussing her marriage to thePrince of Walesincluding his description of suicide attemptsThe tapes were in possession of the Princess during her life, however, after her death, her butler took possession, and after numerous legal disputeswhich were given to the princess'svoice coach, who had originally filmed them. These tapes were not broadcast in the UK.

From the mid 1980s to the late Princess of Wales became known for his support ofcharitable projects, and is credited with considerable influence for her campaignsagainst the use of land mines and help victims of AIDS.
SIDA
In April 1987, Princess of Wales was the first high-profile celebrity to bephotographed touching a person knowingly infected with HIV. His contribution tochange public opinion of AIDS sufferers was summarized in December 2001 by Bill Clinton with the "Diana, Princess of Wales Lecture on AIDS ', when he said:
In 1987, when many still believed that AIDS could be contracted through casual contact, Princess Diana sat on the bed of a man with AIDS and held his hand. Sheshowed the world that people with AIDS deserve no isolation, but compassion and kindness. It helped change world opinion, and gave hope to people with AIDS, with an outcome of saved lives of people at risk.
Landmines
Maybe his charity appearance was widely advertised his visit to Angola in January 1997, when serving as a volunteer with the International Red Cross VIP, she visitedlandmine survivors in hospitalstoured mining projects run by the HALO Trust, and accompanied the mine awareness education classes about the dangers of minessurrounding homes and villages.
The pictures of Diana touring a minefield in a ballistic helmet and jacket were seenworldwide(In fact, mine-clearance experts had already cleared the pre-plannedwalk that Diana took wearing the protective equipment.In August of that year, shevisited Bosnia with the Landmine Survivors Network. Her interest in landmines was focused on the injuries they create, often with childrenlong after a conflict hasended.
She is widely acclaimed for its influence on the signing by the United Kingdom andother nations of the Ottawa Treaty in December 1997after his death, which created an international ban on the use of anti-pessoal.Apresentando the second reading of mines Bill 1998 to the British House of Commons, the Foreign Minister,Robin Cookpaid tribute to Diana's work on landmines: All Honourable Members will be aware of their postbags the immense contribution made by Diana, Princess of Walesto bring home to many of our constituents the human costs of landmines. The best way in which to record our appreciation foryour work and the work of NGOs campaigning against landminesis to pass theBill, and to pave the way towards a global ban on landmines.
In January 2005Diana's legacy on landmines was not preenchida.As UnitedNations appealed to the nations which produced and stockpiled the largestnumbers of landmines (China, India, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia and the United States) to sign the Ottawa Treaty forbidding their production and use, for which Diana had campaignedCarol Bellamy, Executive Director of the United NationsChildren's Fund (UNICEF), said that landmines remained "an attraction to children,whose innate curiosity and need for play often lure them directly into harm's way."
Death
On 31 August 1997 Diana was involved in a car accident in the Pont de l'Almatunnel in Paris road, along with his friend and lover Dodi Fayed and driver HenriPaulFayed's bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones is the only person who survived the sinking.
Circumstances
In the late evening of Saturday, August 30, Diana and Al Fayed left the Hôtel Ritz in Place Vendome in Paris, and ran along the north bank of the Seine. Shortly aftermidnight on 31 August, his Mercedes-Benz S 280 entered the tunnel under the Place de l'Alma, traveling at high speed and pursued by nine French photographers in various vehicles and a motorcycle courier.

At the entrance of the tunnel, the car struck a major blow to the right side wallHeswerved to the left of the two-lane highway and collided head on with the thirteenthpillar supporting the ceiling, then turned to a stop.

As the victims was seriously injured in their wrecked carthe photographerscontinued to take pictures.Subsequent events
Dodi Fayed and Henri Paul were both declared dead at the sceneTrevor Rees-Jones was seriously injured but survived. Diana was released alive from the wreckage, and after some delay due to attempts to stabilize it in the sceneshe was taken by ambulance to the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital, where he arrived shortly after 02h00. Despite attempts to save her, her internal injuries were too extensive.Two hours later, at 4:00 am, doctors pronounced her deadAt 5:30, her death wasannounced at a press conference held by a hospital doctorJean-PierreChevènement (France's Interior Minister) and Sir Michael Jay (ambassador of Great Britain and France).Later that morningChevenementalong with Lionel JospinFrench Prime Minister,Bernadette Chirac, wife of French President Jacques Chiracand BernardKouchnerFrench Minister of Health visited the hospital room where Diana's bodylay and paid their last respects. After the visits, the Anglican Archdeacon of France, Father Martin Drapersaid the Commendatory prayer from the Book ofCommon Prayer.Around 02:00 the Prince of Wales and Diana's two sisters, Lady SarahMcCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowesarrived in Paris to collect the body of Diana.  They  left with the body 90 minutes later.
Initial reports media Diana said car had collided with the column by more than 190 km / h (120 mph) and that the speedometer needle was stuck in this position.Later, it was announced the actual speed of the car in case of impact was about95-110 km / h (6-70 mph), which had the speedometer needle as the digital age (which conflicts with the list of equipment available and the features of the W140Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which used a computer-controlled analog speedometer,no digital display of speed)The car was certainly traveling much faster than thespeed limit of 50 km / h (30 mph) and faster than was prudent for the Alma tunnel.In 1999 a French investigation concluded the Mercedes had come into contact with another vehicle (white Fiat Unoin the tunnel. The driver of the vehicle that never came forward, and the vehicle itself was not found.
The researchers concluded that the crash was an accident caused by a drunk driver tries to escape from pursuing paparazzi at high speed.

In November 2003, Christian Martinez and Fabrice Chasserythe photographerswho took pictures of the victims after the crashand Jacques Langevinwho took pictures as the couple left the Ritz Hotel, were cleared of violating French privacy laws.

On January 6, 2004seven years after his death, an inquest into the death of Dianaopened in London held by Michael Burgessthe judge of the Queens House.

Conspiracy theories

Although the official investigation found Diana had died in an accidenta significant number of conspiracy theories that she was murdered.

The French researchers concluded that Henri Paul was drunk was made largely on the basis of an analysis of blood samples, which were shown to contain an alcohol level that (according to Jay's September 1997 reportwas three times the legal limit. This initial analysis was challenged by a British pathologist hired by theFayedsin response, French authorities carried out a third test, this time using themedically more conclusive fluid from the sclera (white of the eye), which confirmedthe content of alcohol measured by blood and also showed Paul had been takingantidepressants.
Samples were also said to contain a level of carbon monoxide high enough toprevent you from driving a car (or standing). Some maintain this strongly indicatesthe samples were adulterated. No official DNA test was performed on the sample,and the family of Henri Paul was not allowed to commission independent tests on them.
The families of Dodi Fayed and Henri Paul did not accept the findings of French researcher. In the Scottish courts, Mohamed Al-Fayed sought an order that there be a public inquiry and will appeal against the refusal of his application. Fayed, in turn, maintains its belief that the princess and his son were killed in an elaborate conspiracy launched by the SIS (MI6) on the orders of "racist" Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. This was apparently based on the argument that the Duke abhorred the idea of ​​their potential to have grandchildren or half-Arab Muslim brothers.
Other reasons that have been advanced for murder include suggestions Dianaintended to convert to Islam, and that she was pregnant with DodiIn January 2004,the coroner ex-Queen's HouseDr. John Burtonsaid (in an interview with The Times)he attended a post-mortem examination of the princess's body at Fulhammortuary, where he personally examined her womb and found her not being pregnant.
Laterin 2004U.S. television network CBS showed pictures of the scene showingan intact rear side and an intact center section of the Mercedesincluding one ofDiana unbloodied no external injuriescrouched on the ground behind the vehicle,with the back for the passenger seat right - the right rear car door is completely openThe release of these pictures caused uproar in the UK, where it was widely felt that the privacy of the Princess was being infringed, and spurred another lawsuit by Mohammed Al-Fayed.Rumors and conspiracy theories aside, it is clear that Diana, Dodi and Henri were not wearing a seatbelt when the car crashed. Rees-Jones, the only survivor, had his seat belt. Moreover, the underpass at the Place de l'Alma is known as a blackspot, but is in a stretch of road speed, but only limited visibility on nearby, and thereare square-shaped pillars in the central reserves that could lead to collisions.

Funeral and public reaction

Diana's death was greeted with extraordinary public grief, and her funeral inWestminster Abbey on September 6 drew an estimated 3 million mourners in London, as well as worldwide television coverage.
More than a million bouquets were left at her London homeKensington Palace, while on his family estateAlthorp the public was asked to stop bringing flowers asthe volume of people and flowers around the roads was causing a threat public safety.

The reaction of the royal family on the death of Diana caused unprecedentedresentment and protestsThe Royal Family rigid adherence to protocol wasintepreted by the public as a lack of compassion: the refusal of Buckingham Palace to the Union flag at half mast provoked angry headlines in newspapers."Where is our queen? Where is our flag," said the gift. The queen, who returned toLondon from Balmoralagreed to a broadcast request to nação.Na DowningStreet, which was to be a piece has been a live broadcast, and the script was revised by Alastair Campbell, to be more "human."
Mourners cast flowers at the funeral procession for almost the entire length of his journeybefore and after the serviceand even vehicles stopped in the opposite lane of the M1the cars passed en route to AlthorpOutside Westminster Abbeycrowds cheered the dozens of celebrities who have joined in, including singer EltonJohn (who performed a rewritten version of the song Candle in the Wind). The service was televised live around the worldand speakers were placed outside sothe crowd could hear the proceedings. Tradition was defied when the guestsapplauded the speech by Diana's brother, Lord Spencer, who strongly criticized the press and indirectly criticized the royal family for their treatment of her, althoughLord Spencer himself had years earlier refused Diana permission to use a cottage at Althorp as a sanctuarybecause of their fears about press intrusion in her family home. In the midst of this "public expression of griefmany commentators and members of the public found himself perplexed by what appears to be considered corny, sentimental and self-indulgent emotions sincere.
The writer Francis Wheen recalls, this Sunday afternoon, he received a call from a neighbora fiercely conservative columnist on the Daily Mail"I can not take much more than that. Fancy a drink at the bar?Disgust was also aroused by what wasperceived by many as a turning hypocritical by many sectors of the media, inparticular the tabloid press had changed abruptly from a portrait of Diana as apromiscuous bimbo handling for the representation of Diana as a martyr saint.
When the satirical magazine "Private Eye published an editorial consisting of amock retraction of previous negative statements made ​​against Diana, the magazine was subjected to strong criticism from the press and was temporarilyremoved from the shelves of WH Smith and other newsagents. Defenders of the journal argues that the parody had been directed towards the attitude of the media, not death itselfthe episode was seen by many to be indicative of a widespread mentality self-righteous and bullying.
Diana, Princess of Wales is buried at Althorp in Northamptonshire on an island in the middle of a lake called the Round OvalA visitor center is open during the summer months, allowing visitors to see an exhibition about her and walk around the lake.
