Princess Diana became the most well-known woman in the world after her marriage to Prince Charles, although she had already been well-suited for a life in the royal court before they wed. We have compiled a gallery of images of Diana before she became a princess. Have a look at them.

Nicholas Soames’ Wedding – 1981

This picture was taken in June 1981, a full month before Diana’s royal wedding. She was seen leaving the Nicholas Soames wedding with Princess Margaret, the Queen Mother, and Prince Charles. The red clothing and hat are stunning on her.

At Park House, Sandringham – 1963

Meeting Grace Kelly – 1981

At a party in London’s Goldsmith Hall in 1981, Lady Diana Spencer finally met Grace Kelly for the first time. As Prince Charles’ future bride-to-be, this was her debut appearance in public. It was alleged that Princess Grace gave Diana some advice that evening about joining the British royal family: “Don’t worry dear – it’ll only get worse.”

Royal Ascot – 1981

The Royal Family has a long-standing habit of attending Ascot. When Princess Diana made her debut at the Royal Ascot in June 1981, she wore a Bellville Sassoon dress. It wasn’t her most stylish moment, but things could only get better from here on out!

At the Young England School – 1980

Diana worked as a teacher’s aide at the Young England School in Pimlico before she married Prince Charles. There was a lot riding on this. It’s been said that she was the first woman in British history to work for pay before marrying a royal heir.

On her First Birthday – 1962

In this photo, Princess Diana was just a year old. There’s no denying that her family was pretty rich, despite her claims of a miserable upbringing. Earl John Spencer, her father, was a wealthy landowner with intimate ties to the royal family going back several generations.

In Cadogan Place Gardens – 1968

Cadogan Place Gardens was one of Diana’s favorite places to go in London during the summer of 1968. It looks like this picture was shot on her sixth birthday. She is adorable in her little red outfit, matching headpiece, and blue cardigan. Fashion was something she possessed even as a little child.

Watching Prince Charles Play Polo – 1981

In London – 1980

This photo of Lady Diana and Prince Charles dates back to 1980 when their romance was just beginning. There are photographers following her as she walks near her London apartment. She was clearly well-versed in the art of style, what with her red blazer and pinstriped skirt.

On Holiday in Itchenor, West Sussex – 1971

Diana spent her summer holiday in Itchenor, West Sussex, back in 1971. Here she is playing croquet in her bare feet. Her academic abilities were always lacking, but she was a talented ballerina and tap dancer in addition to being a strong swimmer and diver.

Leaving the Young England School – 1980

This photo was taken in October 1980, as Diana was leaving her position as a teacher’s aide at the Pimlico, London, nursery school Young England School. During that time, she definitely sported more modest attire. That’s a really lengthy plaid skirt, don’t you think?

At Her Flat in London – 1980

Photographed in September of 1980, Diana, Princess of Wales. By this time, Prince Charles was actively pursuing the heiress, who was then only 19 years old. Here we have a picture taken in Diana’s apartment. It was obvious that she was still developing her sense of fashion. It was clear that the blouse and flowered skirt were not meant to be worn with the huge, bulky vest.

Bridesmaid at Her Sister Lady Jane’s Wedding – 1978

As a little girl, Diana helped celebrate her sister Lady Jane’s marriage to Robert Fellowes in 1978. In this photo, she was only 16 years old. Although Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles ultimately failed, her sister’s to Robert Fellowes is staying strong after more than four decades of marriage.

In Tetbury – 1981

As an Infant – 1963

Lady Diana resembled a doll at the age of two. Her flawless porcelain skin and gleaming blonde hair were stunning. What’s more, she always had on the nicest outfits. This little outfit and those buckle shoes are too cute for words.

At Broadlands – 1981

Outside the Young England School – 1980

One of the earliest known depictions of Diana. She was being harassed at the office when news of her relationship with Prince Charles spread.
