1967年，Diana 父母婚姻因她母親不忠而離婚，Diana 及她的姊弟的撫養權歸她父親所有。後來， John Spencer 把戴安娜的姐姐們送到寄宿學校，並聘請保母來照顧Diana及她弟弟。自此以後，長女為母的 Diana 照顧弟弟。

Diana 9歲時在不情願的情況下被送到私立女校 Riddlesworth Hall。但她很快便適應學校的生活並在廣結良朋。雖在校內受歡迎，但Diana 的成績並不突出。那時Diana 夢想成為一位舞蹈家，但由此1.79米的身高太高不利她成為一位舞蹈家，可是高瘦的身形卻令她可以演繹時裝，成為全球時尚icon。

1977年，Diana 和王儲 Charles 於一個派對中認識，之前王子曾與 Diana 的姐姐Elizabeth 交往過。但 Charles 見過 Diana 後似乎更鍾情於妹妹。1980年8月，經過數次約會和在郊區度假一星期後，王子向Diana求婚，令對方成為全世界最多人羨慕的女子。1981年2月24日，白金漢宮宣佈Diana女爵將會嫁給王儲 Charles，並於聖保羅座堂舉行大婚，David and Elizabeth Emanuel為她設計她婚紗，成為世紀焦點。

1982年6月21日，Diana 於晚上21時03分在倫敦聖瑪麗醫院生下王子 William。1984年9月15日，她在倫敦聖瑪麗醫院生下第二個孩子王子 Harry。在人前，Diana雖然表現幸福，但其實已經患上產後抑鬱，更曾4次自殺未遂，原因是Camilla已介入她的婚姻。

儘管 Diana與王儲Charles 早已貌合神離，但她仍然義無反顧地愛着他。 她去世一年多前，1996年7月13日Diana和Charles的離婚協議刊登在在多份報紙頭版，令人惋惜，除了英國還包括當時的殖民地香港。

真正令Diana 王妃成為世界級icon的，除了她的皇室生活之外，更重要是她有無私大愛，曾多次造訪非洲安哥拉、波士尼亞等戰亂地區，不顧危險走進地雷區探訪，探望了因誤中地雷而受傷的人民。在世人對愛滋病還抱有不少誤解歧視之時，Diana在美國抱起一位患有愛滋病的小童，盡現她的慈善心腸，喚起大眾對受苦難民的關懷。即便在離婚後，Diana售出79件禮服，籌得共325萬美元善款。

1996年8月28日 Charles和Diana正式離婚，Diana 王妃獲准保留 Princess of Wales 頭銜，但移除殿下的尊稱。1997年，戴安娜王妃與埃及富家子、Harrod’s 百貨公司太子爺 Dodi Fayed 在紐約度假時認識，二人關係因英國狗仔隊偷拍而曝光。Fayed 贈送豪華遊艇予Diana和William 、Harry 兩位王子。但對於英皇室而言，這樣反叛的行為就令英女王十分頭痛。

1997年8月30日晚上，Diana和Dodi Fayed 在巴黎阿爾瑪橋隧道中遇上狗仔隊追蹤，失控越過行車線撞向燈柱和石牆後爆炸，兩人在車禍中死亡，震驚全球。調查報告指車禍是原因是肇事司機酒後駕駛引致， Fayed 的父親指稱車禍是一場由是英國軍情六處受到伊利沙伯二世女皇和菲臘親王而製造的政治陰謀，謀殺Diana和Dodi 。
但無論如何，人死不能復生，她的短暫人生因為太過美麗卻又十分悲慘，令我們無法忘懷，她得到了其他皇室人員永遠得不到的評價：「人民的王妃。」她的故事一年又一年地被人頌揚，除了因為她的美貌，更因為她的溫柔。
