Diana Frances Spencer, also known as Lady Diana, has always been described as a warm, joyful, and extremely beautiful young woman. By marrying Prince Charles, she won the hearts of the English people and modernized the image of the royal family, which was seen as somewhat outdated in the eyes of the world, thanks to her kindness and sense of humor. Even in her time, she was considered fascinating, but her tragic fate has turned her into a true legend.
Hey guys, I hope you're doing great, I'm doing good and I'm so excited to share this chapter with you. The last kind of historical "case" we covered was about the Romanovs, and I've gotten some feedback from a few saying you liked it - I'm so glad. I know that one had a heavy history background to it, but I'm sure you won't feel burdened with this one. It took me a lot, a lot, a lot of time to write this chapter. I realized during my research that when we wanted to tackle the royal family, we had to hold on – so it took me a few days to write this. But I'm quite proud of the result and I hope you'll enjoy it.

Diana Frances Spencer was born on July 1, 1961, at Park House, a residence rented by her parents located on the Royal Sandringham Estate - a property owned by Queen Elizabeth II.
She was the daughter of Frances Spencer and Edward John Spencer, and together with their 4 children, they formed a traditional, financially well-off family since Edward was part of the British aristocracy.
A brief definition of aristocracy, in case, like me, you weren't paying much attention in history class: aristocracy is a form of government in which power is held by a small group of elite individuals, often passed down through generations.
You'll see that the world of the royal family was not unfamiliar to Diana...
Her own father, Edward, served as an officer of honor as Equerry to Queen Elizabeth.
Diana was a restless child; she enjoyed swimming, played the piano, but was particularly passionate about classical dance.
