Diana

Her Excellency Diana Spencer was born in the evening of July 1, 1961, weighing 7 pounds 12 ounces. She is the third daughter of Viscount Altsopp and his wife.

Although my father did not directly express his disappointment and dissatisfaction, he did not hide the sudden drop in his original joy and expectation. The family had wanted a boy who could inherit the Spencer name for a long time, and the parents had not even prepared a girl's name.

A week later, they named the baby girl Diana Frances, after her mother and a Spencer family ancestor.

Family Heir

Eighteen months before Diana was born, her mother gave birth to a boy named John, but he died after only 10 hours of life.

The Spencers went through a heartbreaking time. There was constant pressure from the elders in the family, who suspected that there was something wrong with the mother, otherwise why she kept giving birth to daughters.

Viscountess Allsopp, who was only 23 years old at the time, was sent to different clinics in London for various private examinations. For the proud and stubborn Viscountess, this experience was full of humiliation and unfairness. Unforgettable.

Perhaps at this time, the trigger for future divorce was quietly laid between Mr. and Mrs. Spencer. Perhaps they have never been able to get over the pain of losing a child. When Diana was 3 years old, her mother finally gave birth to the younger brother she had been longing for for many years, and the Spencer family finally had a successor.

Royal Friendship

As early as the 15th century, the Spencer family was one of the richest sheep merchants in Europe. During the reign of Charles I, they donated their earldom, built Althorp House in Northamptonshire, obtained the family crest engraved with the motto "God bless power", and began to collect a large number of antiques, books, and works of art.

Over the next three centuries, members of the Spencer family gradually became involved in institutions of power, often visiting Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and the Palace of Westminster.

Although the Spencer family has never reached the pinnacle of power, it undoubtedly occupies an unshakable place in the corridor leading to power.

They are related to King Charles II, the Duke of Marlborough, the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Aberconn, and even US President Franklin Roosevelt and Chicago gang leader Al Capone. blood relationship.

King Edward VII of England was the godfather of Diana’s grandfather, the old Earl Spencer, and Edward VIII, who “didn’t love the country but loved the beauty”, had officially pursued Diana’s grandmother, but he did not become the queen. Countess Spencer later became a lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mother and Queen Elizabeth.

Being a court maid is an ancient and noble profession that the British are deeply proud of. They must have a flawless upbringing, be proficient in how to dress, be good at dealing with all kinds of people, and know the etiquette of advancing and retreating. Women who are not from well-known families cannot take on this job.

Diana's father served as a chamberlain to King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, and for a time he dated the Queen's sister, Princess Margaret.

Diana’s childhood home, Park House, in Norfolk, was acquired from the maternal line.

Diana's maternal grandfather, Baron Maurice Fermoy, was a Conservative member of the House of Commons and the shooting and tennis partner of George VI. Park House was given by George VI. My grandmother gave up her career as a pianist for marriage and served as the Queen Mother's maid for 30 years. She was also the Queen Mother's best girlfriend.

Although Diana was born into a commoner aristocracy, her family and the royal family had a lifelong relationship.

Osopp House

The prominence of the family and the richness of the ancestral shadow were more frightening than impressive to the young Diana.

Diana felt guilty every time she went to Allsopp House, where her grandfather lived. There were too many creepy dark corners, and the deep corridors were filled with portraits of long-dead ancestors, whose arrogant and cold eyes followed her everywhere.

My grandfather knew the history of every portrait and piece of furniture in this big house very well, and everyone called him the "Count Curator." He often travels around the big house with guests, whisk whisk in hand. Once, in the big library, he actually snatched the cigar from Churchill's mouth. He doesn't care who you are. In this territory, his status is supreme and inviolable. Diana was afraid of her grandfather, but loved her grandmother deeply. Countess Spencer was known locally for her frequent visits to the sick and disabled, and she was never shy about any generous words or gestures. Diana was deeply influenced by her considerate and compassionate grandmother since she was a child.

Park House

If Allsopp House is more like a gloomy, gorgeous and spectacular museum, Diana's childhood home, Park House, is an out-and-out, comfortable and warm home. .

The park house shaded by trees has 10 bedrooms, a spacious parking garage, an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts and cricket courts, and six full-time servants, including a cook, a housekeeper, and a private governess. Serving Diana's family of six.

Diana’s bedroom is on the first floor. Looking out from the cream-colored window, the open fields and sparse grasslands are intertwined like a puzzle, dotted with green pines, white birches, and yews, and calves are grazing. , rabbits and foxes scurry here and there, and the scent of the Norfolk coast, six miles away, slowly blows.

Spencer’s children enjoy feeding trout by the lake, playing hide-and-seek in the garden, riding down the stair railings, and wandering around with their spaniels while listening to the sounds of the woods. The sound of the wind, while looking for pigeon eggs.

Summer is even better, when they can swim in the warm outdoor pool, picnic on the nearby beach, and play in their own treehouse.

Like her sisters, Diana started riding horses at the age of 3 and soon became fascinated with all small animals, the younger the better. Her pets include hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs and kittens.

Whenever her little pets unfortunately died, she held a funeral for them very responsibly. Except for the goldfish, which was "water buried" in the toilet, the other little pets were carefully placed in cardboard shoe boxes. , Diana would dig a hole under the cedars and bury them.

The children are always with the nanny during meal time, and the dishes are simple and consistent. Oatmeal for breakfast, minced meat and vegetables for lunch, and fish once a week.

My parents were gentle but out of reach. My younger brother Charles didn't sit in the dining room with his father until he was 7 years old.

Viscount Altsopp and his wife also grew up under such a regular childhood upbringing. They felt that it was only natural to bring up their children in this way.

The neighbors in the Park House are all relatives and friends of the royal family, which naturally forms a well-matched social circle.

Travel between the Spencer family and the royal family is infrequent. In fact, the children regard invitations such as visits to the Queen's Winter Palace as a daunting prospect.

Little Diana even felt that the Queen's private residence, Sang Junhan, had an eccentric atmosphere, which she really didn't like. At one point, she even kicked and screamed and refused to go. She didn't quiet down until her father said that not playing with other children was very rude.

If someone had told her at that time that one day in the future, she would join the royal family as a concubine and travel around the country, it would be strange for her not to be so frightened that she ran away.

Eternal pain

In any case, the unhappiness caused by Sang Junhan is short-lived after all.

The trouble caused by the breakdown of her parents' marriage is the eternal trauma in Diana's heart.

I think they fell in love with each other back then. The grand wedding held in 1954, because the Queen and the Queen Mother were guests, became a local event and became famous for a while. It all seems like it happened yesterday.

For 14 years, Viscount Allsopp never doubted that they were a happy couple. It was not until the day they decided to break up that he knew he was wrong.

The long-term pressure to bring a male heir to the family has already brewed a crisis in the marriage. The lifestyle that the young Viscountess once longed for has become increasingly boring and boring.

Three feet of ice does not last in a day, and they unknowingly go further and further on the road to divorce.

In public, they still maintain seemingly distant smiles, but behind closed doors, it is not the same at all. Deathly silence or vicious exchanges are inevitable. Diana clearly remembered that she hid at the door of the living room and peeked at her parents' fierce quarrel.

In the summer of 1967, they reached a separation agreement.

That is a memory that cannot be erased from the depths of Diana’s soul:

She sat quietly on the cold stone steps of the Park House, tightly grasping the wrought iron carved stair railing, There was a lot of noise all around.

She heard her father loading the suitcase into the trunk of the car, her mother’s footsteps tapping on the gravel road in the front yard, the car door being slammed shut, the engine roaring, and then getting further away, her mother drove past. The gate of the Park House walked out of her life.

Diana was only 6 years old.

She was too young to understand all this, but the loneliness of being abandoned and betrayed was unforgettable.

She felt that everything was her fault. She was a child that her parents hated. The guilt of not being born a boy gnawed at her young heart.

Diana often took her younger brother to the Sangjunhan Cemetery. Standing in front of the moss-covered tombstone of her little brother John, whom she had never met, Diana often fell into meditation: What did John look like? If he was still alive, would there still be her and her brother in the world?

Seeing the words "Love will last forever" engraved on the tombstone is like hearing a voice that will never disappear, reminding her all the time: You were supposed to be a boy.

In this divorce battle, it is not just adults who are hurt. Although parents either try their best to reduce the shock of the crisis, or intentionally or unintentionally underestimate the impact, the actual pain felt by the children is profound and long-lasting.

Childhood Nightmare

After the separation, her mother moved out of the park house. She originally planned to live with Diana and Diana's brother in London, but her father resolutely opposed it. He insisted that the children must make Park House their home.

The fighting and legal battles between the Spencers dragged on for two years.

The local upper class could not tolerate Diana's mother, and even her grandmother, Mrs. Fermoy, sided with her son-in-law and opposed her daughter.

The result of course was that the mother lost the lawsuit. In April 1969, they officially divorced. Soon, the mother remarried the divorced wealthy businessman Peter Kate.

During that time, her father's lonely silence, her mother's sad tears, the nanny's panicked look, and the mysterious and tense atmosphere of the park house made Diana's little world lose balance. To the casual visitors at home, Diana looked like a carefree little girl.

She is always dressed up and busy all day long. She rode her little blue tricycle up and down the aisles; she pushed her dolls in a pram around the yard; she helped her little brother Charles dress and wear clothes for those curled up in her bed. The plush doll makes the bed and quilt.

But the night was not so easy.

Diana and her brother were both afraid of the dark, and they would not fall asleep until there was a lamp or a candle in the room. Diana often heard her brother crying. Sometimes, she would run over to see her brother; sometimes, she was too afraid of the dark to move.

Listening to her brother sobbing and crying "I want mom, I want mom", Diana buried her head in the pillow and couldn't help crying.

The wind rustled outside the window, and the owl hooted sadly in the forest.

My mother is gone, my sisters Sarah and Jane live in a boarding school, my father is lost and depressed, locked in his room alone, and sees no one except the housekeeper.

The once paradise-like park house has now become an unbearable house of horror.

Mother's Home

Every weekend, Diana and her brother were allowed to go to London to meet their mother. Accompanied by their nanny, they traveled by train from Norfolk, where their mother would be waiting for them at Liverpool Street station.

As soon as she got home, my mother burst into tears.

Diana quickly asked: "What's the matter, Mommy?"

My mother swallowed unfailingly: "I don't want you to leave tomorrow."

Diana was confused and didn’t know what she had done wrong.

Every weekend and all holidays have to be shared equally with my parents. This has become a nightmare that will never end.

Thankfully, the children get along extremely well with their stepfather, Peter.

The first time Diana and her brother saw the handsome, smiling and fashionably dressed Peter at Liverpool Station, they were immediately fascinated by him.

Peter is engaged in the family wallpaper business and is a generous, affectionate and easy-to-get stepfather.

He led the children on sailing and allowed young Charles to wear the general's cap from when he served in the Royal Navy. He nicknamed Diana "The Duchess," and Diana's friends still call her that.

This period of life played a big role in why Diana’s personality was not like that of a spoiled upper-class coquettish girl.

Lonely Campus

School life is also full of problems.

Diana and her younger brother were the only students in the school whose parents were divorced, which fundamentally distinguished them from other children. You know, divorce was a rare thing in those days. On a sunny afternoon, everyone was in a drawing class. For some reason, Diana started to cry sadly. The classmates didn't know why. They only saw that she wrote "Dedicated to Mommy and Daddy" on every picture she painted. land".

Diana is very friendly to her classmates, likes small animals, and is willing to help people. However, she is not good at studying and is often confused when encountering deeper problems.

When Diana was 9 years old, her father sent her to boarding at another school two hours' drive from the park house.

Her father explained to her that the school is the new home for 120 girls, including her, and that collective life is good for her. She can learn ballet and swimming there, and she can also keep her beloved child. Guinea pig.

Diana could not hear these words. Her small eyes were full of fear and anger, and she was sure that even her father no longer wanted her.

She grabbed her father and begged: "If you really love me, don't leave me here alone."

In the end, her father left, and Xiao Dai Anna begins to like school life.

In the dormitory, Diana would also chat and laugh with her girlfriends, but in class, she was always very quiet and would never answer questions loudly, nor would she take the initiative to ask for texts to be read aloud.

Sometimes she is too quiet. In her first school play, she played a doll, a role she agreed to play because she had no lines.

Diana is a popular companion, enthusiastic about various school activities, and has also represented the dormitory in swimming and tennis competitions. However, deep down in her heart, she always feels that there is a distance from everyone. One day , she will go in a different direction.

Diana was introduced to Prince Charles by her sister’s boyfriend in the middle of a farmland near a forest area in the Allsopp Territory.

Charles was eager to hunt and seemed distracted when he spoke.

Diana wore a plaid shirt, corduroy trousers, Wellington boots, and her sister's leather jacket.

She knows that she is an insignificant curry, and her sister Sarah is the heroine in the play, because the prince is her sister's boyfriend.

In order to welcome the prince's arrival, the Spencer family held a grand ball. Among the elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen in the hall, Diana, who has not yet shed her baby fat, has a thick body, no makeup, and looks clumsy in her speech and behavior.

But Prince Charles felt that "this 16-year-old girl is lively, interesting, and adorable."

He originally wanted to ask Diana to take him to visit the 115-foot-long art gallery in his home, which contained the best private art collection in Europe, but Sarah said that she should be the guide, and Diana immediately Walk away wisely.

Sarah and Charles met at the Royal Ascot horse racing social event in the summer of 1977 and had an intimate relationship for nine months. Public opinion once believed that Sarah was likely to become the future queen of the United Kingdom. However, because her enthusiasm for publicity far exceeded the caution that a royal girlfriend should have, her relationship with Charles gradually cooled down.

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

Diana was having so much fun that she didn’t have time to think about anything. Charles's female companion that night was actress Susan George, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with her. After all, life is so colorful, and the days of a free and single aristocrat have just begun!

Different is different

No matter how you look at it, this is an extraordinary romance. Diana and Charles have almost nothing in common. at.

Charles is a graduate of Cambridge University. For him, there is nothing more enjoyable than sitting down quietly and reading a book full of wisdom on psychology or history; but Diana is a student who keeps taking exams A high school dropout who failed both.

Charles was particularly keen on equestrian activities, including polo in the summer and hunting in the winter, three to four times a week without interruption; when Diana was 10 years old, she broke her arm while riding in Sangjunhan Park and was killed by a snake. Bite, for ten years I was afraid of well ropes, and I have never been able to do this again.

Charles loved to listen to opera, and Diana was obsessed with ballet; pop music, which Charles hated, was Diana's hobby; Charles never played tennis, which Diana was good at.

Charles likes to be quiet. He can draw for several hours with a small box of watercolor paints and a sketchbook, or he can sit on the river bank and fish all day long, waiting for the fish to bite.

Diana was active and willing to contact and talk to people, especially on the phone with family and friends. The phone line was simply her lifeline.

Although Charles has always been cautious in doing things and does not easily get himself into emotional entanglements, as "the most qualified diamond king in the world", his name is often associated with scandals. In Diana's case, Previously, he had officially discussed marriage with his three girlfriends.

In comparison, Diana was so immature that she could almost be his daughter. This little girl who had just stepped out of school had never fallen in love with any other man. Her emotional experience was blank, and she was not an adult at all. children.

Perhaps it is because of these obvious differences that Diana brought a freshness to Charles that he had never experienced before, and he was attracted involuntarily. The right candidate

It was better to come early than to come by chance. Whether it was fate or luck, Diana was born at the right time and was destined to be the best candidate at that time. Prince Charles, now in his thirties, should be settling down.

If Charles could make his own decision, friends believe that he would probably never get married in his life.

He is actually very greedy for the single life. Over the years, ingrained habits and unchanging routines have long formed a set of daily operating procedures centered on him.

He has his favorite sports and a group of followers at his disposal; he often travels abroad, and girls are always willing to accompany him to dinner parties or polo matches. In his kingdom, he has always gone his own way, only letting others give him permission, and there is no reason for him to let others. And the mutual accommodation and compromise required by married life seem to be difficult for him to adapt to. However, Charles had to end his comfortable single life. His title brings with it privileges, but also responsibilities. And his duty is to marry and bring an heir to the throne. Buckingham Palace is very upset about this.

At that time, Edward VIII asked to leave because of his beauty, which caused the shadow of "crisis of trust in the royal family" and lingered in the hearts of everyone in the family. The older Charles got, the harder it became to find a Christian, virgin bride of noble blood.

Queen Elizabeth was worried all day long. She has devoted her life to carrying forward the spirit of the British royal family. Her top priority is to be responsible for the successor of the monarchy system. She is afraid that Charles will make some love jokes and bring shame to the royal family.

This is really not Charles’ fault. If Charles could have been born even 30 years earlier, he might have been able to date the girl he liked and let the romance develop purely privately, without having to worry about making tabloid headlines at any time.

Unfortunately, the traditional barriers that separate the royal family from the public have long since been broken. The media is all-pervasive. Charles's love history is as disturbing as a series of disjointed plots in a boring soap opera. How can the Windsor royal family not be anxious? This is how things came to the emperor. Not as anxious as the eunuch is.

There are two theories circulating in Buckingham Palace.

One theory is that a group of Charles' old friends got together one night and drew up a short list of possible names for virgins of noble blood. Another theory is that the Queen Mother and her long-time girlfriend, Diana's maternal grandmother, were talking over tea one afternoon about the possibility of a marriage between their beloved grandchildren.

Perhaps both theories have basis, but no matter which one it is, the first choice is: Miss Diana Spencer.

Prince Proposal

A phone call from Charles made her temporarily throw all her doubts away.

At that time, Charles was skiing in Switzerland. He said on the phone that when he came back, he would ask her something very important.

Diana had a premonition that the long-awaited moment had finally arrived. That day, she and her girlfriends chatted until midnight.

On February 6, 1981, Charles, who was returning from vacation, asked Diana to meet at Windsor Castle. It was already late, and Charles told Diana that he missed her very much and then proposed to her outright.

Diana's first reaction was to giggle in disbelief. The prince's attitude was fervent, reminding Diana that one day she would be queen.

Diana accepted his proposal.

But a voice whispered in her heart: No, I will never be the queen. Diana had had this strange and stubborn premonition since her relationship with Charles.

Of course, she wouldn't say it out loud, she just kept saying how much she loved him.

Charles responded: "Okay, okay, whatever love means." Later, when officially announcing their engagement to the media, Charles repeated these words.

Diana, who was immersed in happiness, did not pay attention to the hesitation and reservations in his words.

Two days later, Diana flew to Australia for vacation with her mother and stepfather, enjoying the last few days of quiet and secluded civilian life.

Diana didn’t know that while she was discussing the details of the wedding with her mother, the reporters in London were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They tried their best to find out about the bride-to-be. 's hiding place.

There is only one person left in the world who knows her whereabouts, and that is Charles. He never called her, and Diana thought of countless reasons to excuse him.

In the end, she called him first; he was not at Buckingham Palace.

After Diana returned home, Charles' entourage sent a large bouquet of flowers, but Diana could not find a single word from Charles. Perhaps the flowers were not sent by Charles at all, but were simply a polite gesture from his staff.

On February 23, 1981, the night before the engagement was officially announced, Diana packed her bags and said goodbye to her close girlfriend and No. 60 Callahern. A heavily armed Scotland Yard sergeant prepared to escort her into the palace.

He looked at the child-like innocent face of Diana, who was under 20 years old, and couldn't help but said: "You have to know that this is the last night of freedom in your life, don't leave in a hurry. , enjoy it again."

These words were like a sharp dagger, piercing Diana's heart.

She couldn't help but stop. Hungry Honeymoon

After the wedding, Charles and Diana boarded the royal yacht "Britannia" with a complete set of fishing tools and half a dozen philosophy books to begin a three-week honeymoon trip in the Mediterranean.

It won’t take long for Diana to understand that in order to achieve harmony, she must unconditionally accommodate Charles in all aspects.

When Charles is fishing, if she wants, she can watch from the side; if not, she can do her own thing, but don't expect Charles to throw down his fishing rod to accompany her.

"Adapting to a new role" is only Diana's business. Charles will not bother changing his original lifestyle for anyone. In his eyes, Diana was just a child without her own opinion, and she should just follow his lead.

Diana originally wanted to use this time to get to know her husband better. After they got engaged, Charles was often not with her due to royal duties. Who would have thought that on the world's largest private yacht? They still had no chance to be alone together.

The 21 officials and 256 crew members who accompanied the ship were at hand, always ready for orders.

Dinners are mostly formal occasions in suits and ties where Charles discusses matters with relevant personnel. Diana, who had nothing to do, often visited the kitchen. She had an astonishing appetite and ate bowl after bowl of ice cream. She also asked the chef to prepare special snacks for her between meals.

Diana's symptoms of hunger sickness became increasingly apparent.

For Diana, the past few months have been like stepping on a pair of roller skates, rocking between a new life, a new role, her husband's married girlfriend, and the suffocating... There is a balance to be struck between public exposure and extreme emotions ranging from happiness to the clouds and depression to the abyss.

The situation is like an explosive cocktail, one drop is enough to start a prairie fire. The honeymoon trip was like adding fuel to the fire.

On one occasion, two photos of Camilla fell out of Charles's diary; and at another dinner for the Egyptian president and his wife, Charles wore a new pair of cufflinks, buttoned The shape is two intertwined cs, and Charles bluntly stated that it was Camilla who gave it to him.

Diana asked Charles to tell her honestly how he viewed his wife and "girlfriend", but Charles regarded it as "unreasonable" childishness and completely ignored it.

As a result, Diana ate more and vomited more, sometimes four or five times a day.

Mezaka Holiday

After the wedding of Prince Andrew in 1986, the marriage of Charles and Diana also reached a watershed.

At that time, the crown prince and his wife were vacationing on the Spanish island of Mezzaca with their children.

One day, they took a ride on King Carlos’s luxury ship worth 3 million pounds and with a speed of 80 knots. The yacht headed to a nearby island, and its companions followed it at a distance in another small boat.

Surrounded by the beautiful scenery of blue sea, blue sky and sparkling waves, the relationship between the royal couple is not only neither bad nor beautiful, but also in serious trouble.

For the next five hours, Charles and Diana never came close to each other, let alone talked.

While Charles was surfing, Diana walked to the other side of the deck; while Diana was diving, Charles turned his face in the opposite direction.

They read books, sunbathed, and chatted with other people on the boat, but they never exchanged a look or said a word to each other.

The five-year marriage has been completely dead so far. No official announcement is needed for anyone to come to such a conclusion.

Before the holiday was over, Charles left early. Official news said that the prince went fishing. In fact, he soon met Camilla in Scotland. Diana and her two sons enjoyed the sun and sea water freely and had a lot of fun for a few days. The holiday in Mezaka is not so much about ending on bad terms as it is about everyone getting what they want.

Tacit understanding

Charles and Diana have since reached a tacit understanding. Privately, unless it concerns the two sons, they are absolutely "you go your own way, and I'll cross my single-plank bridge," and no one cares about the other.

In public occasions, royal duties, and foreign visits, they still maintain the relationship of working partners. Of course, they are working partners who seem to be in harmony but who are separated from each other.

In February, after an eight-day ski vacation, Diana left Charles and his friends and returned to London early; in March, Charles went to Switzerland for skiing, and Diana stayed at home; in April, Charles Taking Prince William and Prince Henry to Belmore Castle, Diana lived in Kensington Palace; at the end of April, Charles went to Italy, nominally to see an art exhibition, but actually to meet Camilla; in May, Charles went to a remote village alone Hebrides, where I farmed with farmers for 3 days.

By the fall, the rift between Charles and Diana was already obvious. From the Queen down, every senior member of the royal family had realized that their suspicions and worries about the marital status of the Crown Prince and his wife were all true. .

Diana almost never was with Charles. She went out at night with anyone, except Charles. When the two were at home, Diana also avoided dinner parties held at home and never took charge as hostess. At first, Charles often persuaded her to attend. Starting in 1987, Charles no longer made such unnecessary attempts.

Diana didn’t feel any loss at all by not attending the party and not listening to the self-righteous talk of Charles and a group of similarly “depressing old men.” She would rather drive alone, leave Kensington Palace, leave the prying eyes, leave the eager royal family members, and come to her favorite beach on the Tousset coast, where she feels at ease and walks slowly, surrounded by the cool sea breeze. When it came to her face, her heart felt empty.

All her original hopes were shattered, and the compromise was still silent indifference. She told herself that she must cheer up and find the real Diana, and find those who had completely lost her temper in the past few years. Distorted and submerged authenticity. She should start her own life.

Sacred mission

The energetic Diana devoted herself to various charitable causes.

One day in July 1991, Barbara Bush, then the wife of the US President, and Diana visited the AIDS ward of a hospital.

While chatting with a patient who was too sick to get up, Diana gave him a big hug. The patient couldn't help crying. The president's wife and others present were deeply moved. .

Diana said that AIDS patients need warm hugs more. She practiced her words and fulfilled her promise. When she hugged the patients, it actually reflected her own value.

Diana cared about all patients. She also had deep feelings for drug addicts, lepers, homeless people, and sexually abused children. The reason why she paid special attention to AIDS patients was because It's because she feels that too little has been done for AIDS patients.

For five months in 1991, she quietly and unnoticed helped take care of the AIDS patient Ari Jackson, spending the most emotionally turbulent days in her life.

Arry Jackson is energetic and charming. He is an outstanding figure in British ballet, opera and other artistic fields. In the mid-1980s, he was diagnosed as HIV-positive. Ari, who was open-minded and cheerful by nature, could not understand the cruel trick of fate for a while. Later he became the vice chairman of the charity organization Crisis Rescue Fund, where he first met Diana and began to face the harsh reality. In 1987, he first confessed the truth to his girlfriend Angela Siroda. Angela was a former Royal Ballet dancer. Faced with a terminally ill friend, Angela was calm and composed. With the full support of her two daughters, she did her best to care for him. Ari.

In April, Ari's condition worsened and he lived in his apartment all day, with Angela by his side. From that time on, Diana often came to visit and worked hand in hand with Angela to take care of their common friend.

A feeling of adversity

In Angela's eyes, Diana is "beautiful far beyond the simple definition of beauty. Although the shadow of her own unhappy life lingers around her, her rich The inner world bursts with dazzling light."

Diana even brought Prince William and Prince Henry here. She felt that children should be prepared to face every aspect of life as they grow up. die. Diana always brought Ari a bouquet of flowers or a small gift like that and talked about what she had done today.

Of course Ari can
