50 Rare Photos Of Princess Diana That You May Have Never Seen Before

Princess Diana, born Diana Frances Spencer, was one of the world's most famous (and photographed) women in the 1980s and 1990s. Her every action (and dress) was painstakingly filmed and examined; even her death sparked a paparazzi-fueled media frenzy, which many continue to point to as evidence of an out-of-control tabloid culture. Despite all of this attention, there is still so much we don't know about her.
The Princess of Wales was one of the most photographed individuals in the world until her terrible death in 1997. Her memory is preserved in these photographs of her most memorable moments.
Many people remember Princess Diana as much more than a fashion star in the years after her funeral—she was a generous philanthropist and, most importantly, a loving mother to Princes William and Harry. These striking Princess Diana images remind us of the mark she left on the world.
