Part of text
They had two sons. They travelled a lot, they worked a lot, and they visited
many countries together. But Diana was not quite happy because they did
different things and Charles didn't understand her.
Why was Diana the most famous, the most beautiful woman in the world?
Why did so many people come to London to remember her when she died?
Diana Spencer was born on the first of July 1961 in England. She had two older sisters
and a younger brother. In childhood she wanted to become a dancer. She loved children
very much and at the age of sixteen she worked in schools for very young children. Diana
became princess, when Prince Charles, the Queen's son, asked her to be his wife and
they got married. They seemed to be happy.
Rock stars (Sting, Elton John), pop singer George Michael, film stars and producers
(Tom Hanks, Steven Spilberg, Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise) and other famous people were
among her friends. But she had more friends among ordinary people.
The answer is so simple. She was a kind woman. She liked ordinary people, though she
was rich and had many rich friends. Wherever she was, she was ready to help poor
peoples. She visited hospitals for people with AIDS and she talk to them, listen to them.
She was, indeed, the People's Princess.
She wanted to make them happy and to give them love, because she needed
love herself.
