Sensation! Unknown facts from the life of Princess Diana have been revealed

19 May 2023

Everyone knows that Princess Diana is an outstanding personality that is still being talked about! She has millions of fans around the world who call her a style icon and an incredibly humane and kind Princess. Lady Di's life consisted of incredible events and things that never cease to amaze so far!

Princess Diana's parents didn't want a daughter!

Firstly we want to note that Diana was the fourth of Viscount and Viscountess Althorp's five children, and she was born into an aristocratic family. Diana has raised with a knowledge of royal customs and procedures thanks to her family's long-standing relationship with the British royal family. According to Diana: Her True Story biography, her parents had hoped for a boy to continue the Spencer family line. Before Diana's birth, they were so certain of the baby's gender that they had not even chosen any girl's name. To choose Diana Frances, they needed one entire week.

Diana's older brother lived only 10 hours

The majority of people are aware that Princess Diana had a younger brother, Charles, as well as two elder sisters, Jane and Sarah. The late princess did, however, also have a hidden older brother who was born on January 12, 1960. He was given the name John in honor of his father and tragically passed away 10 hours after his birth as a result of severe malformations. Princess Diana frequently paid him visits at Sandringham, where he is buried. She was troubled by his death for a long time before finally admitting, "I was the girl who was supposed to be a boy".

There were tensions in the family of Princess Diana

It was well known that Princess Diana's complicated and occasionally estranged relationship with her parents, Viscount and Viscountess Althorp, was difficult. Diana reportedly disliked how distant and rigid her father was with her growing up. As the family's head, John Spencer had obligations and responsibilities that might have reduced his availability to his kids. The troubled relationship may have been exacerbated by this perceived lack of emotional connection. Also, Diana frequently thought that her mother didn't provide the nurturing and support she needed and was emotionally aloof. They may have felt isolated as a result of this perceived lack of emotional connection, which strained their relationship.

The younger brother came up with a nickname for Diana for her whole childhood

Within her family, particularly among her siblings and close friends, Princess Diana was referred to as "Duch". Diana's relatives and childhood acquaintances have provided tales of how the moniker "Duch" first appeared in her life. Charles Spencer, Diana's younger brother, is thought to have invented it as a mispronunciation of "Duchess," alluding to Diana's eventual title as the Princess of Wales. It is significant to highlight that the moniker was mostly utilized in private, familial situations rather than in public or official contexts.

Divorce parents further spoiled their relationship with Diana

The divorce of Princess Diana's parents, which occurred in 1969 when she was just 6 years old, had a significant impact on her. Her personal life and emotional health were affected by the divorce in a long-lasting way. For Diana, the separation of her parents was a tremendous emotional upheaval. Her family's stability was disrupted by their divorce, which left her feeling uncertain and confused at an early age. Diana's connections with her mother and father were strained as a result of the divorce. She frequently mentioned feeling abandoned by her parents and stuck in the thick of their disagreements.

Diana and her stepfather immediately took a dislike to each other!

Following the divorce from Diana's father, Frances Shand Kydd married Peter Shand Kydd (in the photo is in the middle) in 1969. The circumstances of the marriage, notably how quickly Diana's mother was divorced and remarried, may have led to conflict and prevented Diana from fully accepting her stepfather. There was a substantial age and generational divide between Diana and Peter Shand Kydd, who was significantly older. It might have been more difficult for them to connect and establish common ground because of this. It was claimed that Diana and Peter Shand Kydd had different characters and interests.

Diana did not have a higher education

Diana spent her childhood and adolescence attending Riddlesworth Hall School and afterward West Heath Girls' School. These schools did not offer a conventional academic program leading to a higher degree. Instead, they concentrated on fostering pupils' character, life skills, and readiness for real-world societal tasks. Diana's goals have changed throughout time, as have her hobbies. Princess Diana was a lifelong learner despite not pursuing formal academic education. She read, traveled, and had firsthand experiences to satisfy her curiosity about a variety of topics. She was well known for having a strong interest in psychology, human rights, culture, and the arts.

At school, Diana was a diving star!

Young Diana did not particularly enjoy arithmetic or reading, but she excelled at sports. She was excellent at diving and swimming. Almost no splashes were made as Diana dove, according to her biographers. Even the term Spencer Special was given to such a perfect dive by classmates and teachers. Also, Diana enjoyed ballet and other forms of dance. She adored dancing and incorporated it into her training routines, while not pursuing a professional ballet career. She was known to promote dance-related events and attend ballet performances.

Diana slapped her father!

Diana was so enraged that she slapped her father when she and her siblings discovered in 1976 that their father had secretly married Reina, Countess of Dartmouth. Frances Shane Kidd and John Spencer, Diana's father, got divorced in 1969. Diana's new marriage was not popular with Diana and her siblings. They weren't even given a wedding invitation. Their father neglected to inform his kids about his marriage to Raine. According to the royal commentator in the program, Diana smacked her father when she learned the truth. So, as you can see, Diana from her youth could show her character, despite the fact that she was always a rather sweet and kind person.

In her teenage years, Diana worked as a dance instructor

Diana's grandmother set her up with Charles!

It is believed that Lady Diana's grandmother gave the idea to introduce her granddaughter and Prince Charles! Sounds amazing, isn’t it? Baroness Fermoy is Diana's maternal grandmother. She belonged to the inner circle of the Queen Mother and had some weight in court. Whether Baroness Fermoy truly taught her granddaughter "royal lessons" is unknown, but it is clear that she played a crucial role in the Prince of Wales and Diana's engagement. Ruth Fermoy first developed a relationship with the royal family in 1956 when Queen Dowager assigned her to one of the honorary roles. She spent nearly four decades at the royal court and had some impact on the Queen Mother.

Diana believed Charles was a "sad man" when they first met!

Princess Diana reportedly stated that she initially felt Prince Charles was a "sad man" when they first met, according to numerous stories. Prince Charles was 29 years old when they first met, and Diana was only 16 years old. He may have appeared more serious and mature to Diana because of the large age difference. The personality of Prince Charles has been described as reserved and introverted. He might have seemed a little distant or preoccupied when they first met, which might have added to Diana's first perception of him as a depressed man.

Before marrying Diana, Charles was rejected by her sister!

Sarah claimed that their only bond was platonic and that Charles has always been to her like an elder brother she never had.

Diana's father was worried that his daughter was marrying Charles

For a number of reasons, Diana's father, John Spencer, the 8th Earl Spencer, was worried about his daughter's engagement to Prince Charles. Diana was many years younger than Prince Charles, and it's possible that her father was worried about the difficulties that may develop from such a wide age difference. Diana married Charles, who was 32 at the time when she was 20 years old. Also, John Spencer might have been concerned about Diana and Charles' compatibility. Their disparate personalities, passions, and life experiences might have raised some red flags.

Princess Diana's struggle with the eating illness bulimia was a key part of her life and one that she bravely discussed to spread awareness and remove the stigma associated with mental health conditions.

It is thought that Diana's bulimia began when she was engaged to Prince Charles and persisted throughout their tumultuous marriage. Her mental and emotional health suffered as a result of the demands of royal life, media attention, and the dissolution of her relationship, which prompted the emergence and worsening of her eating disorder.

Princess Diana hated wearing tiaras!

It would seem, what girl does not dream of wearing a tiara? It's so beautiful and regal! However, Princess Diana hated this exquisite accessory. The formality that comes with wearing tiaras may have conflicted with Diana's sense of style and desire to relate to people on a more personal basis. Princess Diana also alleged that wearing tiaras gave her a headache. Tiaras can be bulky and heavy to wear, and they frequently need to be firmly fastened to the head with pins or combs. They might have been physically unpleasant for Diana to wear for lengthy periods of time, especially during long events or engagements.

Diana was the first of the Royal Family to give birth in a hospital

According to reports, Princess Diana preferred giving birth in a hospital setting over at home and desired the assistance of medical staff throughout the delivery.
