All around the world people gauke at the mention of Princess Diana of Whales. She is an iconic woman due to her upbringing and struggles as part of the royal family. Princess Diana started out as an everyday girl, and even though her name changed when she married Prince Charles, she remained a diamond in the rough as well as a real woman in a fake society. As a child Diana was rather normal so to say. Her father was a Duke therefore her family was well off and she was able to attend private schooling. Diana enjoyed things like music and horseback riding, but everyone knew that field of work was risky. After school Diana moved and she found herself without a job and relying on a friends parent. She hated not being able to support herself, but Diana had a good group of friends and she was well loved. So supporting Diana wasn’t a task for her friends and she luckily soon found a job working with children which she became extremely passionate about. In most aspects Diana led a “normal” life, she had her struggles and no where kneer royalty. Surprisingly that isn’t one hundred percent true, as mentioned Her father was a Duke and he knew the royal family rather well. As a child she would go on hunting trips with all of the boys, and later her sister became involved with Prince Charles ( although they soon separated). That being said Diana and her sister were invited to many gathers with the royal family, but one barbeque in particular was a game changer. Diana was sat next to Prince Charles on afternoon and they immediately hit it off. They carried on a conversation for an exceptional amount of time and everyone was aware. Everyone expected a date or two in the future. That is exactly what happened, the Prince called Diana that... ... middle of paper ... ...ny. Perfection should never be the goal for any man or woman,because it is truly unreachable. There will always be someone who doesn’t appreciate your worth, just like they royal family didn’t appreciate Diana. Everyone should push for what they want, what quenches their deepest desire and when you take the wrong path you worth through it to come out at the desired destination. Diana loved her husband, but he clearly did not care for her. Rather than stomping on everyone's toes and making a mess the played her role to the fullest and did what she loved even through the pain. PRincess Diana was beautifully flawed, she had the spirit of a fighter and that was seen by all that saw her. Many thing’s did not go Diana’s way, but she didn’t turn bitter and she continued in what she was passionate about. That is why Diana of Whales was truly a Princess like no other.
... She comforts the Wilsons, feeds the starving nameless faces when she barely has enough for her own family, works together with the Wainwrights, and as the novel closes she is still directing her assistance to those who are in need any way she can, by helping the starving man and taking control of the situation. She feels that as long as she can hold on to some part of the family, she will see to it that they keep on going.
British princess. Born August 21, 1930, at Glamis Castle in Scotland, as the second daughter of King George VI of the United Kingdom (who ruled from 1937 to his death in 1952) and sister of Queen Elizabeth II (1952--). In the early 1950s, the romance between Margaret—then third in line to the throne after her sister’s two children, Charles and Anne—and Group Captain Peter Townsend, a highly decorated World War II fighter pilot and recent divorcé, caused quite a scandal both within and outside of the British royal family.
Queen Isabella was born in 1451, in the city of Castile, Spain (Leon 75). She was the daughter of King John II and Arevalo (Maltby par 1). Her family was very strong Catholics and she was born and raised a Catholic. Her brother, Alfonso, became King. He banished her mother, younger brother, and her from the kingdom (Leon 75, 77). Isabella had chestnut hair with natural red highlights and her look was demure and soft. She went to school with nuns at Santa Ana Convent. At school, she fancied reading, writing, music, and painting. In her free time, she was tutored at home with her older brother. After her childhood, she learned treachery was everywhere. As a teenager, her family forced her to marry a scoundrel. That day, she prayed to God for deliverance. On the way to their wedding, he choked and died from bronchitis. From that day on, she was ready for what was coming her way.

Marie Antoinette wrongfully suffered for many years under the pressures of court and the subjects under the crown. She redeemed herself from the immature spending and luxury of her earlier years by serving as a loving wife, mother and ruler later on. Despite her situation, she remained a fair, brave and respectable queen and should be remembered for her courageous acts in a time of revolutionary change.
Marie Antoinette was born November 2nd, 1755, in Hofburg Palace, Vienna, France with the birth name Maria Antonia Josepha Joanna. Her parents were Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor, and Empress Maria Theresa. She lived a very relaxed childhood, playing with common children. Her and her siblings were treated to gardens and menageries. The education she experienced was typical of an eighteenth century aristocratic girl, learning mostly about religious and moral subjects. While she held a close relationship with her older sister, Maria Carolina, her relationship with her mother was different. Marie Antoinette resented her mother and did not spend enough time trying to show love toward her. Her mother left raising the children to a governess and pawned off her daughters to different political figures as wives.
As a young child, she had it rough. Her mother raised her as her ugly duckling which I find very strange. I can not imagine being told I was ugly by my own mother and can not even fathom that leading to a life of beauty and in fashion none the less. When her family settled in New York, Diana was about ten years old and was enrolled in Brearly school where she did not last long. Not being able to speak English made it a very lonely and difficult place. After...
This also relate strongly to Diana's death. As I mentioned earlier she was a Princess, so obviously came from a privileged background. She had a distinguished family whom she loved with all her heart, and had close to everything she could have wanted in the world. It was also extremely unexpected because it was such a sudden death; she did not have a long-term disease or illness but died instantly in a car crash.
...her time in small-town plays to performing with the bigwigs of film industry and lastly becoming a princess. Grace Kelly left her mark on the world; leaving behind charisma and charm throughout her path.

She mastered the art of stealing your affection, which awarded her with thousands of screaming fans.
Diana, the youngest in her family of four, remained close to the Royal Family of Britain even at a young age. She may not of been royalty in her younger years, but she came from a wealthy family; “Born Diana Spencer on July 1, 1961, Princess Diana became Lady Diana Spencer after her father inherited the title of Earl Spencer in 1975” (“Princess”). Diana had a noble birth because she came from such an aristocratic background. Diana became a public icon and the press, along with her people, loved her. In Diana’s childhood her mother and father divorced, her father won the custody battle of all four children. Not until later did Diana go on to marry Prince Charles, the ceremony took place on July 29,
Even twenty years after her death, the world continues to remember the princess who perpetually remembered them. Princess Diana lived as one of the most influential figures of the 20th Century. She devoted her life in the spotlight to bring recognition to causes that she felt others should care about, such as AIDS, homelessness, leprosy, and landmine removal. Diana believed that love and kindness served as the remedy for any sort of suffering. She once stated in an interview with BBC journalist, Martin Bashir, “I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month—I’m very happy to do that and I want to do that” (Roisin Kelly). While the matter remains certain that people were initially starstruck having a princess in their midst, it is undoubtedly Diana’s kindness that attracted and continued to attract beings to her presence. She held the hands of those deemed unsafe to touch and broke down stigmas in the process. Diana became a hero for those who had no one to speak up for them, or the trials they endured, through simple acts of kindness, such as a warm smile or a gentle handshake. While Diana aided those around her, she herself desperately craved love and kindness, as discussed in the following quote from the New York Times’ Article, “Diana in Search of Herself”. “Indeed, Diana's unstable temperament bore all the markings of one of the most elusive psychological disorders: the borderline personality. This condition is characterized by an unstable self-image; sharp mood swings; fear of rejection and abandonment; an inability to sustain relationships; persistent feelings of loneliness, boredom, and emptiness; depression; and impulsive behavior such as binge eating and
Princess Diana once said,“I would like to be a queen in the hearts of the people.”, and if there is anything she has done it has been to take over our hearts with her compassion and generosity. Princess Diana dedicated her life to helping others and using her fame to do it. She was humane and humble never seeing herself above others, even as royalty. This considerate woman would show up to hospitals just to talk and encourage people with her kind words. Princess Diana supported more than 100 charities in her lifetime, although she mostly impacted AIDS/HIV patients and landmine usage.
Helen’s early life was very much shaped by her loss and abandonment. The greatest loss Helen experienced was the death of her parents. As she was orphaned by the age of six, it left her with great grief, darkened childhood memories and bewilderment of where she truly belonged. She eventually found her position as a labourer in her uncle’s house. After working on her uncle’s farm for two years and being denied an opportunity for education, she faced the most significant abandonment in her life: being turned
