Love life

Regret childhood

For young Diana, the family's splendor and the family's strong ancestral charm are more frightening than impressive. Every time she went to her grandfather's osop house, Diana felt guilty. There are too many creepy dark corners, deep corridors full of long dead ancestors portraits, their arrogant and cold eyes everywhere follow her. If the ossop house is more like a gloomy and magnificent museum, Diana's former childhood home, the park house, is a truly comfortable and warm home.

The park house in the shade of trees has 10 bedrooms, spacious parking garage, outdoor swimming pool, tennis court and cricket court. Six full-time servants including cook, housekeeper and private governess serve six members of Diana's family. Diana's bedroom is on the first floor. Looking out of the cream colored window, the open field is inlaid with sparse trees and grasslands, dotted with pine, birch and yew. The calf is eating grass, rabbits and foxes are scurrying, and the smell of Norfolk coast six miles away is slowly blowing.

Diana is very kind. Whenever her beloved pets die, she holds funerals for them dutifully.

The neighbors of the park house are all royal relatives and friends, which naturally form the right social circle. The Spencer family and the royal family don't move around very often. In fact, the children are afraid of such invitation as visiting the Queen's winter palace.

Little Diana even felt that sang Junhan, the Queen's private residence, had a quaint atmosphere, which she really didn't like. Once, she even kicked and screamed, refusing to go. It was not until her father said that it was very uncivilized not to play with other children that she calmed down.

Diana's father is a Viscount, he needs a son to inherit his title, but Diana's mother has several girls in a row. In the eyes of people at that time, Diana's mother must have a strange disease. As a result, Diana's mother received various examinations and religious activities. They are often discriminated against at home. Finally, at the age of 3, Diana's mother finally gave birth to a younger brother she had been looking forward to for many years. However, the long-term pressure to bring male heirs to the family has long been brewing the crisis of marriage. The life style that the young Viscount yearned for has become increasingly boring and boring.

In April 1969, they formally divorced, and their mother lost custody of Diana and her brother. And my father married a stepmother that Diana didn't love. Diana was very upset. But she was always well dressed and busy all day. She rode her little blue tricycle up and down the aisle, pushed her dolls around the yard in her pram, dressed and capped her little brother Charles, and made a blanket for the dolls curled up in her bed.

Every weekend, Diana and her brother are allowed to go to London to meet their mother. Accompanied by the nanny, they set out from Norfolk by train, and their mother would wait for them at the Liverpool Street station. But they can only get together for a short time. When Diana left, what they left behind was endless missing and pain of separation.

Diana and her younger brother are the only students whose parents divorced, which fundamentally distinguishes them from other children. You know, divorce was rare in those years. On a sunny afternoon, everyone was in the picture drawing class. Somehow, Diana began to cry. All the students didn't understand. They only saw that she wrote "for mommy and Daddy" on every picture she painted. Diana is very friendly to her classmates. She likes small animals and is willing to help others, but she can't do anything about her study. When she has some deep problems, she is often confused.

When Diana was nine years old, her father took her to another school, two hours' drive from the park house. This makes her feel a sense of being abandoned, which has a great impact on her later growth. In the dormitory, Diana also talks and laughs with her girlfriends, but in class, she is always quiet. Diana is a popular partner, enthusiastic about all kinds of school activities, but deep in her heart, she always feels that she has a distance from anyone, and one day, she will go in a different direction.

Meet the prince

Diana and Prince Charles met at a party in 1977. Prince Charles had dated Diana's sister Elizabeth Sarah Spencer before. When he first met her, he said she was a very attractive woman. Diana was introduced to Prince Charles in the middle of a field near the forest in the osop territory.

Wearing a plaid shirt, corduroy pants, Wellington boots, and her sister's leather jacket, Diana looks very ambiguous. She knows that she is a tiny curry coffee, and her sister Sarah is the heroine in the play, because the prince is her sister's boyfriend. In order to welcome the prince, the Spencer family held a grand dance. In the room full of ladies and gentlemen, Diana, who has not yet taken off her baby's fat, is stout, does not use powder, and has a clumsy manner. But Prince Charles felt that "this 16-year-old girl is lively, interesting and adorable.".

He wanted Diana to show him around his 115 foot art gallery, which has the best private art collection in Europe, but Sarah said she should be the guide, so Diana walked away.

Her sister Sarah and Charles met in the summer of 1977 at Royal Ascot racing social activities, and they had intimate contact for nine months. Public opinion once thought that Sarah is likely to become the future queen of Britain, but her relationship with Charles gradually cooled down because her enthusiasm for public appearance far exceeds the cautious attitude of the royal family's girlfriends.

However, she was still invited to attend Prince Charles' 30th birthday party at Buckingham Palace in November 1978. To Sarah's surprise, her little sister Diana was also invited - Oh, Cinderella came to the stage from behind the scenes.

Diana had a good time. There was no time to think about it. Charles's companion that night was actress Susan George, which seems to have nothing to do with her. After all, life is so colorful, the days of free single nobility have just begun!

Since then, the relationship between Diana and Prince Charles has been getting better and better. They started dating, chatting happily and even kissing enthusiastically on the beautiful lakeside. Diana felt very comfortable and proud of it.

At that time, Charles was skiing in Switzerland. He said on the phone that when he came back, he had something important to ask her. Diana had a premonition that the long-awaited moment had finally arrived. That day, she talked with her girlfriends until midnight. On February 6, 1981, Charles and Diana met at Windsor Castle. When it was late, Charles told Diana that he missed her so much that he proposed to her directly. Diana accepted his proposal.
