In 1954 the young couple commenced in marrige at Westminster Abby(Diana7). Diana was the third child to be born. All the children before Diana was born were girls and Diana’s parents hoped that she would be a boy. “Diana picked up on this and through out her life it gave her a sence of failure and guilt”.(Diana 9) When Diana was at the tender age of six her parents split apart due to another man. This also caused Diana deep pain and emotional uproar in her life. Diana was very bashful growing up, but she never lacked for attention. Her older sisters Jane and Sarah ,saw that all Diana’s needs were taken care of. In 1968 Diana went to Silfield School
in Kings Lynn. There she took part in many activities such as basketball, tennis , hockey and croquet. When Diana was eight she changed schools to thrther her education. It was here that “Diana blossomed into a woman and took the first steps tward her glamorous destiny”(Diana 10). Young Diana wanted to be a ballerina but she was to tall and lanky to sweep accross the floor. This downfall did not stop Diana from dancing. She decided to try tap dancing and she was very good at it. Though their were sad times in Diana’s child hood there were many happy time too. As a child she never imagined the the triumph her future would hold.( Diana 9,10,11) Was it Love at first sight or a carefully planed conspiricy by two royal grandmothers. The first time Prince Charles saw his future Princess was when he bumped into near her home in Norfolk. The short encounter with Diana Spencer left a lasting impression on the Prince. Diana’s Grandmother lured the Prince into a weekend of shooting with Diana and her family. “That girl Diana’s jolly,amusing and quite attractive,” Charles recalls telling his friends after the hunt”(Diana12). That weekend Diana not only caught Charles eye but she also caught his youger brother Andy’s attention also. Andy invited Diana to the Royal Yacht. It was there Charles came into contact with Diana once again and he was hooked. While Courting Diana he took her sailing and for walks in the country. “Diana is Keeping me young.” Charles boasted to his friends, “ I’ve got myself a winner!”(Diana 14) “It was officially announced on Febuary 24, 1981 that Lady Diana would marry The Prince of Wales.”( http://www.paralumun.com/dianamarr.htm) “ When Prince Charles asked Diana to marry him he didn’t slip and engagement ring on her finger, as most grooms-to-be do. Instead, she was taken to the Buckingham Place and presesnted with a tray of rings from the crown jewelers. Garrard, and told she could have her pick of any of the glittering and priceless gems on it!”(Diana 51) “David and Elizabeth started designing Diana’s wedding dress in the spring of 1981 - after hiring 24- hour security guards and installing a safe in their London offices. Despite the secrecy , the couple found their waste baskets vanishing mysteriously. So they decided that , since the gown was ivory, all the scraps that were thrown into the trash would be white. Remnants froms the real dress were burned in a bizzarre torching rithe at the end of each day.”(Diana 22) On July 29, 1981 Price Charles and Diana Spencer were wed at St Pauls Cathedral. Over a million people wached the ceremony world wide. “ Princess Diana was the first Englishwoman to marry a heir to the throne for 300 years.” ( http://www.paralumun.com/dianamarr.htm).
