While it appears as though she was consistently at the center of attention, we have gathered a few intriguing pictures that give a more close look into her life.

Ski Excursion
In 1994, Princess Diana, hit the slants in Austria with her children William and Harry. This image was taken when Harry was just 9.
Ring the Bells
There was a lot of controversy around Diana’s wedding details. She chose her engagement ring from a catalog. Most royal engagement rings are custom designed. It consisted of 14 solitaire diamonds around a 12-carat sapphire set in white gold from a Garrard jewelry collection catalog. When she passed away it was passed down to Kate Middleton.
The Nerves!
Diana was so nervous that when she made it to the altar she called her future husband by the wrong name! She called him Philip Charles Arthur George instead of just Charles Philip!
Train Troubles
Designers of Diana’s 25-foot train didn’t consider how difficult it would be to walk in and it ended up causing some problems on the wedding day. The dress and its train ended up being a little-crushed inside the carriage. There were visible wrinkles on her dress.
Tiara in Training
Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, comments that her elaborate tiara gave her a headache! During an interview, he said, “In the evening we all went to a sort of semi-private party and she was there and she seemed incredibly relaxed and happy and I just remember she had a cracking headache too because she wasn’t used to wearing a tiara all morning.” Regardless, Diana wore the Spencer Tiara, which had been in Diana’s family for almost a century.
Red Flag
It wasn’t always smooth sailing for these two, there was some trouble in paradise from the start. For example, in 1981, when their engagement was confirmed, a reporter asked the two if they were in love. Diana said, “Of course,” while Charles said, “Whatever ‘in love’ means.”
Safety First
