On August 31, 1997, Great Britain lost its favorite, Lady Diana Spencer. Over her short life, she managed to become for her country a symbol of female wisdom and modesty, surprisingly combined with iron will and grip.
When in 1981, Prince of Great Britain Charles married a modest kindergarten teacher, no one could have imagined what kind of storm would soon break out in Buckingham Palace. Born Diana Spencer could not fit into the conservative framework of the morals of the royal family. Her pursuit of universal values forced the British to look differently at both the royal dynasty and their own lives.
In 1982 and 1984, respectively, Diana gave birth to two heirs to the throne - princes Harry and William, after which she began to actively engage in charity. Gradually, the marriage of Lady Dee, as the British dubbed her, and Prince Charles was falling apart, since the latter was touched by the public love of the people for his wife. In 1996, the couple divorced, and most of the British fully supported Diana in this decision. After the divorce, Lady Dee went deeper into charity.
In the summer of 1997, Diana was spotted in the company of businessman Dodi Al-Fayed, which gave rise to a number of publications in the British media, who predicted him to be the husband of the mother of the heirs to the throne. But the matter turned out differently - on August 31 of the same year, Diana and Dodi died in Paris as a result of a car accident. The British perceived the death of their beloved as a huge loss, for several days life in all of Britain froze.
Every year on the day of the death of Lady Dee, services are held in all churches in the UK, and in 2007, Prince William and Harry held a charity concert in memory of Diana. In 2012, it was decided to stage and film a film dedicated to the last months of the princess's life. The role of Diana in the film will be played by Naomi Watts, known for such films as "Mulholland Drive", "Call", etc. It was originally planned to present the tape on August 31, 2012, but due to problems that arose, the premiere was postponed until mid-December.
Prince William with his wife Kate Middleton on the fifteenth anniversary of the death of Diana intends to continue her business. In September 1997, the princess was about to go on a charity trip to the Far East. In Singapore, specially for Lady Dee's visit, a new variety of orchids named after her was bred. Now her son with his wife will be able to admire these flowers, in honor of the arrival of which a new species of orchids will also be bred. In addition to Singapore, the royal couple will visit Malaysia and the Commonwealth Islands.
