Princess Diana bio-The Princess of Wales, Diana Frances Spencer was born on July 1st, 1961 at Park House, Sandringham, Norfolk.

She was the fourth child of Frances Spencer, Viscountess Althorp Roche (1936-2004), and John Spencer, Viscount Althorp (1924-1992).

Her grandparents, Cynthia Spencer, Countess Spencer, and Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy, had worked as ladies-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, demonstrating the Spencer family’s long-standing ties to the British royal family.

It took a week for her parents to decide on the name Diana Frances in honor of both her mother and Lady Diana Spencer, a multiple-great-aunt who was also a potential Princess of Wales. Her parents were hoped for a male to continue the family line.

She was also referred to as “Duch” inside the family, a reference to her attitude resembling that of a duchess when she was younger.

Diana was baptized at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham on August 30, 1961. Sarah, Jane, and Charles were her three siblings who raised her.

One year before Diana was born, her baby brother John passed away soon after birth. Her parents’ marriage became more strained as a result of the desire for an heir, and Lady Althorp was taken to London’s Harley Street clinics to ascertain the root of the “problem”.

Charles, Diana’s younger brother, called the incident “humiliating” and said it was “a terrible time for my parents and probably the cause of their divorce because I don’t think they ever got over it.”

Diana was raised in the Sandringham estate’s Park House. Diana referred to Queen Elizabeth II, who owned the home, as “Aunt Lilibet” when she was a young girl.

Diana interacted with the Queen’s sons Prince Andrew and Prince Edward when visiting the nearby Sandringham House, where the royal family usually spent time on vacation.

Diana’s parents split when she was seven years old. Later, her mother started dating Peter Shand Kydd, whom she later wed in 1969.

When Diana’s parents divorced in 1967, she continued to reside in London with her mother, but Lord Althorp forbade his daughter from visiting Lady Althorp during the Christmas break.

Soon after, with the help of his former mother-in-law, Lady Fermoy, he was able to secure Diana’s custody. Lord Althorp wed Raine, Countess of Dartmouth, in 1976.

Diana had a particularly strained connection with her stepmother. She disliked Raine and referred to him as a “bully”. Diana once forced her to down the stairs.

Later, she recalled her childhood as being “very unstable, the whole thing,” and “very unhappy.” After her father’s subsequent elevation to the earldom of Spencer in 1975, when the family moved from Park House to Althorp, the Spencer seat in Northamptonshire, she started to be known as Lady Diana.
