Her famous 1995 BBC interview revealed less-than-flattering details about royal life, including all-too-common details about illicit romances.
Consequently, senior royals were displeased with the way that Diana’s truth-telling seemed to degrade the monarchy.
That being said, Diana also continued to live like a princess.
On the contrary, she was permitted to stay at apartments 8 and 9 at Kensington Palace.
Photos of Diana’s Kensington Palace apartments reveal a magnificent space decorated in classic royal style.
She fitted the space with a wooden desk and antique chair, where she sat as she worked.
Meanwhile, the princess' dining room was decorated with billowing red curtains and classical pieces of European art.
Naturally, the living quarters also included areas that were dedicated to William and Harry’s education.
However, in reality, the Wales' relationship was rocky from the start.
Diana allegedly declared, “Miss Legge-Bourke will not spend unnecessary time in the children’s rooms.
She may not read to them at night, nor supervise their bath time or bedtime.”
Even any other relationship would always be kind of compared to or contrasted with her relationship with Charles.
He was her reference point."
Kay wrote, “At the time, the rising profile of Camilla Parker Bowles was a key factor.
As Camilla increasingly became a part of Charles’s life, Diana felt beleaguered.”
What happens if they marry?
I am fed up being constantly compared to Charles and Camilla."
And, after divorcing King Charles III, Diana remained determined to make a difference.
She wanted to avoid situations where she was just a letterhead."
This attitude was certainly apparent on Diana’s 1997 trip to Angola.
Diana’s perilous act drew attention to the humanitarian issue of landmines killing innocent civilians.
Ultimately, Diana’s visit sparked a debate about the military use of these harmful weapons.
But, really, not doing anything else."
If this is what senior royals really believed, they couldn’t have been more wrong.
I think he regretted it terribly."
When Diana and Charles divorced, however, the princess didn’t lose her celebrity status.
She continued to draw non-stop press attention until her death.
After all, Diana had acomplicated relationship with the media.
Fascinatingly, Diana’s friendships with members of the press did not wane following her divorce.
If anything, these connections only grew stronger.
Even so, the princess was said to limit her employees to just a few key people.
Brown wrote, “Divestment was the name of the game, in her life and in her looks.
One of the essential people that Diana kept on, however, was her butler, Paul Burrell.
Interestingly, it seems, Burrell continued to take Diana’s side of the divorce years after her death.
Would you pick it out?'”
One key example of this was Diana’siconic sapphire engagement ring.
These days, you could spot the enormous sapphire gemstone glittering on Catherine’s finger.
On the contrary, Diana negotiated a generous divorce settlement.
She also apparently crushed an “entire set of Prince of Wales china … with a hammer.”
Of course, as a member of the Spencer family, Diana had access to her own resources.
Even when she wore simple pieces like oversized sweatshirts with biker shorts people across the world imitated her style.
And, perhaps more importantly, the fashion world received this newly-revamped Diana with open arms.
In July 1997, just weeks before hertragic death, Diana appeared on the cover ofVanity Fair.
