THE READING / TAPESCRIPT

Lady Diana Spencer was born in 1961. She had a normal, quiet
upbringing. It could never have prepared her for the fame and glamour
of being a British princess. Within a few years, she changed from being
a shy teenager to the most photographed person on the planet. She hit
newspaper headlines around the world, but the biggest one was for her
death at the age of 36.

Diana was a kindergarten teacher in London when she caught the


interest of Prince Charles. She won the hearts of a nation with her shy
smiles and natural beauty. The whole world watched the fairytale royal
wedding in 1981. A year later, she gave birth to Prince William, the first
of her two sons.

Diana was nervous at first in public, but she soon developed a charming
manner. She took a strong interest in many charities and important
causes. She highlighted the suffering of the homeless, lepers and AIDS
victims. She also campaigned for the abolition of landmines and many
countries banned them.

Diana and Charles divorced in 1996. She struggled with depression and
eating disorders for many years after. She finally found happiness with
an Egyptian film producer, Dodi Al-Fayed. Their romance was closely
followed by the paparazzi, which led to the fatal car crash that killed her
in Paris in 1997. At her funeral, British Prime Minister Tony Blair called
her the “People’s Princess". To many, she was simply the “Queen of
Hearts".
