How old is Princess Diana now?

A member of the British royal family, Diana Frances Spencer was known as the Princess of Wales. Her birthday was July 1st, 1961, and she passed away on August 31st, 1997. She gave birth to Princes William and Harry while serving as Charles, Prince of Wales’ first wife and presumed heir to the British throne.

Diana became a global celebrity thanks to her advocacy and allure, which brought about both undying acclaim and harsh public scrutiny—which was made worse by her tumultuous personal life.

Diana, who was born into British nobility, was raised close to the royal family at their Sandringham residence. She got engaged to Prince Charles, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II, in 1981 while working as a nursery teacher’s assistant.

After their 1981 nuptials, which took place at St. Paul’s Cathedral and received a positive reaction from the general public, she was made the Princess of Wales.
Diana Frances Spencer was born in Park House in Sandringham, Norfolk. She was the fourth child of John Spencer, Viscount Althorp, and Frances Spencer, Viscountess Althorp (née Roche; 1936–2004). (1924–1992).

The long-standing ties between the Spencer family and the British royal family may be seen in the work that her grandmothers, Cynthia Spencer, Countess Spencer, and Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy, performed as ladies-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.

It took her parents a week to decide on the name Diana Frances in honour of both her mother and Lady Diana Spencer, a possible Princess of Wales and multiple great-great-aunt. Her parents desired a son to carry on the family line. Because of her earlier attitude approximating that of a duchess, she was also known as “Duch” inside the family.
