• 'The People's Princess'

  Jul. 01, 2011

  Diana, Princess of Wales, would have been 50 years old on July 1. Diana's untimely death at the age of 36 in a 1997 car crash sent the world into mourning, but the bright spirit of "the people's princess" lives on. Here are some facts about Diana:

  Worldwide wedding. On July 29, 1981, 20-year-old Diana wed 32-year-old Charles, with 3,500 guests in attendance, at St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

  Little princes. The union of Diana and Charles produced two sons, Prince William in 1982 and Prince Harry in 1984. The royal couple reportedly made a good parenting team and shared responsibility for the boys after divorcing in 1996.

  Lasting legacy. Her openness may have roiled the royals, but Diana modernized the monarchy. She campaigned against the use of land mines, raised awareness of eating disorders and held the hands of AIDS patients, confronting prejudices of the time.
