Diana, Princess of Wales (Diana Frances Spencer, b. 01 July 1961, d. 31 August 1997), was a member of the British royal family and first wife of King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) and mother of Prince William and Prince Harry.

Her father, John Spencer, became the 8th Earl Spencer in 1975. As a result, Diana acquired the courtesy title of "Lady" and was commonly referred to as Lady Diana Spencer (commonly referred to as 'Lady Di'). This title remained with her until her marriage to Prince Charles in 1981, at which point she became known as Diana, Princess of Wales.

On 09 December 1992, Prime Minister John Major announced the couple's "amicable separation" to the House of Commons. Diana divorced from Prince Charles on August 28, 1996. After their divorce, Diana retained the title "Princess of Wales" but no longer held the official role associated with it.

Tragically, Diana died in a car accident in Paris on 31 August 1997, while travelling with her companion Dodi Fayed (b.1955) who was also killed. The car was being driven by their personal chauffeur, fleeing from paparazzi.
