Diana, princess of Wales, 1993. Diana, princess of Wales, the former consort (1981–96) of Charles, prince of Wales, and mother of the heir second in line to the British throne, Prince William of Wales, was born this day in 1961. Charles and Diana, whose globally televised wedding was witnessed by hundreds of millions, were divorced in 1996. Tremendously popular and one of the world's most photographed women, the “people's princess” was killed in an automobile accident as she and a companion attempted to evade paparazzi. "At a dinner following the opera, she walked, alone, down a huge winding staircase without ever looking at her feet, so we knew she was a princess. But at dinner she ate like your sister, tearing into her meal with a kind of wanton delight, turning aside her lady-in-waiting's insistence that it was time to be leaving with the flat observation that dessert hadn't come yet." James R. Gaines, former managing editor of People magazine
