In 2002, she won third place in the ranking of one hundred greatest Britons: it was adored, worshiped, called the queen of hearts, be admired. Her death was called a universal tragedy, but no less a tragedy - just personal - and life was Lady Di.

The bride to the king

Diana of Wales, born Diana Frances Spencer, like many girls dream to meet her handsome prince and live happily ever after with him. As a child, she was read romance novels Barbara Cartland, in particular, the "Bride of the King." But as you know, with desires to be careful, because they are true. Diana and Charles first met in 1977 - Crown Prince took care of his sister Diana Sarah. However, it did not last long, and already in 1980 the whole of London and only said that the relationship of Charles and Diana. At that time they saw each other only a few times, but journalists managed to take a picture of a couple on a walk, and that was enough for the verdict: Prince Charles and Diana story.

The wedding took place July 29, 1981, when Diana was 19, and Charles for 33 years. The age difference was not the only gulf between husband and wife. They knew almost nothing about each other, and were strangers, after the wedding the couple almost did not communicate. They had different interests, hobbies, education and training in a school Diana studied very badly and fail the exam twice, a university degree is not received, worked as a nanny and an assistant teacher in a kindergarten. However, she came from a noble family, was attractive, mild mannered and - most importantly - innocent, but Charles was already over 30, so keep looking it was too late. Moreover, in 1979, he proposed to his second cousin Amanda Natchbull - granddaughter of the last viceroy of India, Louis Mountbatten, but she turned him down. So if Lady Di got married, enchanted childhood dream and manners of the prince, that Charles could not have been madly in love with the bride.

Bedov month

From the very beginning of the Cinderella fairy tale began to crumble. During the wedding vows that all Britain waited no less royal family, Diana mixed second and third name of Charles, who, in turn, has a legitimate forgot to kiss his wife immediately after the vows. Diana did not pay attention to such details, although many said it was a bad sign. Much more worried about her husband's relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, his long-time mistress. He promised to sever relations with her before the wedding, but for some reason, Camilla attended the ceremony.

Diana, as a child was very upset by the divorce of parents, dream of the perfect family, but Buckingham Palace turned out to be not the place where her dream could come true. Spouses catastrophically did not match temperaments: Charles, as befits an Englishman of royal blood, was polite and courteous, but not more. Detached, assembled, closed and stingy on emotion, he even on a bike ride with his wife and children went to the suit, jacket and tie. Diana also was cheerful, energetic, natural, quickly respond to any event: it can run barefoot on the lawn, apply to the servants by name and give them presents.

Charles could not give his wife of what she so desperately needed: love, tenderness, affection, kindness, confidence in the fact that she is beautiful. Even before the wedding, Diana politely hugging the waist, Charles joked that she had a few extra kilos. After such words as almost every twenty girl, Diana decided to lose weight - quickly and at any cost. Within weeks, the amount of her waist dropped from 73 to 58 centimeters - dressmakers had several times to take in a dress. In addition, the cargo incredible responsibility that lay on the shoulders of Diana, when it became part of the royal family, anxiety and cool relationship with her husband is already in development provoked Diana bulimia honeymoon. Later, in a candid interview with Andrew Morton, which formed the basis of the book "Diana. Her true story "Lady Di confessed that all her hopes for a happy marriage collapsed after only two days after the wedding. Honeymoon turned nightmare: Diane tormented by bouts of bulimia and self-loathing, suicidal thoughts assailed, and at night in nightmares she saw Camille. Princess also admitted that was cutting the veins.

Marriage, in which there were too many people

Diana was constantly under the gun cameras. One of the TLC project experts "Diana: tragedy or a conspiracy," said that Diana - the goddess of hunting in ancient mythology, but modern Diana, on the contrary, "waged a real hunt." Her every move followed the journalists and reporters, every act, dress and appearance in public discussion on the pages of tabloids. In this national love and adoration turned Diana into the main figure of the royal family: Princess managed to eclipse not only her husband but also his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Diana doing something that has never in history did not allow themselves the representatives of the ruling circles: she was alive and immediate, emotional and open. She was the first celebrity shook hands with the man with AIDS, she hugged patients in hospitals, hospices and fell in front of them on their knees, talking to reporters in simple language, without the protocol. Diana was engaged in charity and participated in anti-war campaigns, he has two children herself, and did not give them to the care of governesses, as is traditionally done in the royal family. Thus Diana, constantly being in the center of events, experienced an acute shortage of attention: with the Charles she was nothing to talk about, they missed each other, and obey her husband and to share his interests Diane never learned. Support and attention of the princess was looking at others - in those who surrounded her, who told her that she had always wanted to hear from her husband: "You're beautiful", "You're beautiful" and "You look great." Diana credited the novel with the groom, the driver and the officer's bodyguard, while Charles resumed his relationship with Camilla, and even went with her on a journey.

Of course, this situation does not suit the Elizabeth II, a champion flawless royal reputation. She insisted on the fact that the wife for several years lived apart, a divorce. Moreover, when the August 31, 1997 Diana died in a car crash in Paris, the Queen said that the United Kingdom is unable to provide the royal board for body transport in London, as Diana is no longer a member of the ruling dynasty.

To honor Charles should be noted that he insisted that Diana - the mother of the future heir to the throne - deserves appropriate treatment and after death. He personally went to Paris to pick up the coffin.

During the funeral of the Queen of hearts - as well as for her life - watching the world: in the UK alone have screens have gathered more than 32 million people. Elton John, who was present at the ceremony dedicated to Lady Di song "Candle in the Wind" - the same one, which was written for Marilyn Monroe, another unhappy woman who adored by millions.
