Lady Diana Frances Spencer, was born on July 1, 1961 at Park House near Sandringham, Norfolk.
Lady Diana had three siblings: two elder sisters Sarah (born in 1995), Jane (born in 1957) and a younger brother Charles (born in 1964). They were born into an aristocratic family with Royal blood in the ancestry.
Her father was Viscount Althorp and her mother Viscountess Althorp. Unfortunately, by the time Diana was six years old, her parents were divorced. The divorce ended with a scarring custody battle which emotionally traumatized Diana and her siblings. The father received custody of his children.
She received her education first at a preparatory school, Riddlesworth Hall at Diss, Norfolk, and then in 1974 went as a boarder to West Heath, near Sevenoaks, Kent. At school, she showed a particular talent for music (as an accomplished pianist), dancing and domestic science, and gained the school's award for the girl giving maximum help to the school and her classmates. She also portrayed significant talent for sport, in particular, swimming.
She left West Heath in 1977 and completed her studies at the Institute Alpin Videmanette in Rougemont, Switzerland, in 1978.
For awhile she looked after the child of an American couple, and she worked as a kindergarten teacher at the Young England School. During her years as a kindergarten teacher, she was introduced to her future husband Charles.
