On 31 August, the world marked 26 years since the death of Princess Diana<\/a>. The former wife of Prince Charles<\/a> (now King Charles III<\/a>) and mother of Prince William<\/a> and Prince Harry<\/a>, Diana remains a much-missed family member and a symbol of kindness and compassion to millions of well-wishers around the world.<\/p>\n

Vivacious, intelligent and exceedingly beautiful, Princess Diana was never short of admirers. She was iridescent \u2013 always fabulously turned out and with a sparkling sense of humour to accompany. As depicted in The Crown<\/a>, so much of Diana\u2019s youthful appeal and suitability for her role as Princess of Wales (and entry into the Royal Family) was the absence of scandal and rubbished relationships in her wake. It\u2019s widely thought that the then Prince of Wales was her first official boyfriend \u2013 and it’s not hugely surprising given Diana was 19 at the time that their engagement was announced.<\/p>\n

The then Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer<\/a> in spectacular fashion in 1981 \u2013 their royal wedding was watched around the world. The couple welcomed their two sons soon after, but later separated. It wasn\u2019t long into their relationship that Charles resumed his romance with Camilla Parker Bowles (now Queen Camilla), giving Diana license to have her own rumoured relationships. Ultimately, the marriage wasn’t to last: following a period of separation, Diana and Charles officially divorced in 1996.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Diana Getty Images On 31 August, the world marked 26 years since the death of Princess Diana.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":504113,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[337,111,139,69,18320,251467,145],"class_list":["post-504112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-features","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-princess-diana","tag-princess-diana-tribute-on-the-anniversary-of-her-death","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=504112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/504113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=504112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=504112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=504112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
