Diana, Princess of Wales was born on July 1, 1961, at Sandringham, Norfolk, England. She was the daughter of the prestigious British aristocratic Earl Spencer family, but her parents divorced in 1969. Her older sister, Sarah, was dating Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana first met him in 1977. After reuniting with the prince at a royal party in 1979, they began dating and became engaged in February 1981. They were married at St. Paul's Cathedral in July of the same year. They gave birth to their first son, William, in June 1982 and their second son, Harry, in September 1984. However, their differences regarding family life and official duties became serious. Diana suffered from bulimia, and the prince's infidelity also came to light. The couple announced their separation in December 1992, and their divorce was finalized in August 1996. After her divorce, she engaged in charitable activities, including those related to AIDS and landmine removal, but her private life continued to be pursued by paparazzi. She died in a traffic accident in Paris on August 31, 1997. At Prince Charles's request, the British royal family took possession of her body. In response to the strong British public sentiment in mourning Diana, Queen Elizabeth II issued a special statement, and the flag at Buckingham Palace was flown at half-mast during her funeral, an unusual move. Her fashion sense was highly praised and she had a profound influence on women worldwide. Because she wanted to contribute to the British fashion industry, she favored brands such as Catherine Walker and Philip Somerville. Her favorite foreign brands were Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Moschino, and Escada. The film "Diana," depicting her final years, was released last October. Naomi Watts plays Diana, and her costumes were provided by brands she favored, including Tod's, Versace, and Dior.
