Princess Diana: Unexpected Icon
Diana Frances Spencer was that quiet, shy girl to whom every young lady could relate. The difference with her is that she became Diana, Princess of Wales in 1981. From then on, she shot up into stardom to become one of the world's biggest icons, not only in the U.K. but around the world. More than two decades after her death, her time as a princess continues to echo through Britain's royal family.
