Today marks 24 years since the tragic passing of Princess Diana, the so-called Peoples' Princess.

The Princess of Wales dedicated her entire life to raising and promoting social justice, human ethics and children's rights in the world.

Diana's story began, of course, well after the Duke of Wales Charles Philip fell in love with her in 1980 when they were both invited to stay at Philip de Pass’ house in Sussex.

After that, their romance went from strength to strength and the two announced their engagement in February 1981.

At the age of 19, Lady Diana married Charles, who was twice her age and sounded much more passionate than her.

It's worth mentioning that their royal wedding was watched by a global television audience of 750 million in 74 countries, with 600,000 people eagerly lining the streets of London between the Cathedral and Buckingham Palace, according to English media.

The lovely couple had two children together, Prince William and Prince Harry, who are counted among the most senior and influential members of the Royal Family today.

On August 28, 1996, Prince of Wales and Diana’s marriage sadly ended in porce.

Tragically, Princess Diana passed away on August 31, 1997, in Paris following a car accident.

International media claimed that the vehicle in which the Princess of Wales was traveling was involved in a high-speed accident shortly before midnight and she was later taken to the La Pitie Salpetriere Hospital, where she underwent two hours of emergency surgery before passing away.

It's worth noting that Egyptian-British Film Producer Dodi Fayed, whom Princess Diana was dating at the time, also died in this catastrophic accident. Dodi's father accused a number of suspects, including the British royal family members. However, no one was charged.

Later on, her mysterious death became a media frenzy, with Diana's bloody body emblazoned on newspapers and television screens across the two spheres.
