Just more than a week ago, England marked the 25th year since the passing of Princess Diana after sustaining a tragic car crash in Paris in 1997. 25 years after her horrific death, the Princess of Wales still remains one of the most beloved figures in the Royal Family's history. Not only did she help the British Royals reach out to other continents on the planet, but she was also one of the leading humanitarians at the time. Thanks to her charisma and dedication to social causes, Diana was dubbed the 'People's Princess'. Read on if you wish to know more about her exciting life and achievements!

Princess Diana was born on 1 July 1961 to Viscount Althorp and Viscountess Althorp. Growing up in such an aristocratic family, Diana was a neighbor of the Royal Family on their Sandringham estate. So close was her family to the Royals that as a child, Diana developed her iconic duchess-like attitude.

At age 7, Diana got her first heartbreak when her parents divorced and went on to remarry. PEOPLE reports: '[It] was tough on Diana. She used to sit on the doorstep at Park House and wait for her to come back'.

Finding schoolwork a difficult task, Diana excelled in other fields such as dancing, piano, and other social activities. At the age of 17, Diana set to London to work as a nanny. After that, Diana continued to do other low-paying jobs such as preschool teacher, ski instructor, and party hostess.

Diana and Charles had known each other for years, as the Prince used to date Sarah Spencer - Diana's older sister, in 1977. After reuniting in 1980, the pair quickly fell in love despite the huge 13-year age gap. Diana quickly got the approval of the Royal Family, including the Queen, and started to make more public appearances with the Prince.

After a year of dating, Charles and Diana walked down the aisle on July 29, 1981, at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. The ceremony was one of the most watched events of the year, drawing 700 million people around the globe. The lavish wedding was famous for its extravagance, pomp, and ceremony, which was estimated to cost millions of pounds.

Following the fairytale wedding, Prince Charles and Diana, now Princess of Wales, sailed the Royal Yacht Britannia and enjoyed their romantic honeymoon in Scotland. The couple was photographed loved-up, slamming any rumor of an unhappy relationship.

One of the most iconic photos in Diana's life was taken in 1980 when she strolled relaxedly alongside Camilla Parker Bowles - who was at the time one of the closest friends of Prince Charles. Despite both having separate families, Charles and Camilla kept on visiting each other on several occasions, sparking speculations of infidelity,

On June 21, 1982, Prince Charles and Princess Diana welcomed their first child William, who was born at St. Mary's Hospital in London. Nine months later, the baby prince accompanied his parents during an official visit to Australia and New Zealand - which was never done before in the Royal Family's history.

The family of four got its last member on September 14, 1984, when Prince Harry was born. Upon his birth, Harry immediately became the third in line to the British throne, only behind his father Charles, and older brother William.

Princess Diana was a woman dedicated not only to social causes but inevitably, also to her children's upbringing. Although her royal status meant Diana could hire world-class mentors to teach the Princes, she would regularly do it herself, telling them how to behave like royals and other important etiquette. Thanks to Diana, we now have the equally devoted Prince William.

In this photo taken in 1986, Prince Charles, Princess Diana, and their two baby sons were all smiles as they pose in the wildflower meadow at Highgrove. It was one of the rarest photos in that people could see both Charles and Diana smiling happily.

What makes Diana so special and popular among the public despite her marriage drama was her down-to-earth attitude and charisma. Just like any other ordinary parent, Diana looked proud as she accompanied William to Eton College.

As one of the most beautiful ladies in the Royal Family, Princess Diana always drew attention as she made public appearances. An avid fan of films, Diana regularly attended red carpets and movie premieres, where she stunned fans with her breathtaking outfit. In this photo taken in 1985, the Princess was going to the London premiere of the James Bond hit A View To A Kill.

Before Meghan and Kate, we had Diana - a respectable fashion icon whose influence extended far beyond the UK. Donning mesmerizing gowns and jewelry, the People's Princess knew the perfect recipe to make her stand out in the crowd. It was Diana's fashion style that brought the British Royal Family's reputation to the far United States and other places in the world.

Prince Charles and Princess Diana's marriage cracks already began during the first weeks after they tied the knot, which many outlets attributed to the differences in age and personality. On several public appearances, the Prince looked glum and unhappy when standing next to Diana. The feud between them kept escalating following a series of cheating allegations aimed at Charles and Camilla.

As one of the most dedicated public figures, the Princess was committed to social causes in underprivileged parts of the world and spared no endeavors to spread her message. In this photo, the Princess, in protective body armor, was paying a visit to a landmine minefield in Africa in a bid to campaign against landmines.

Throughout her life, Princess Diana was very much involved with the British Red Cross, became its patron in 1983, and promoted the organization's several humanitarian campaigns. By using her public profile to encourage positive changes, the Princess of Wales earned the favor of the public and the nickname 'People's Princess'.

In another campaign to raise awareness about landmines, Princess Diana made a visit to Bosnia - Herzegovina, which was organized by the landmine Survivors Network. She walked hand in hand with the little children in a village, showing no

During the last months of her short life, Diana was in love with entrepreneur Dodi Al Fayed. In this photo taken in the summer of 1997, the couple was traveling to St. Tropez for a romantic gateway. Sadly, only months later, they were both dead in a tragic car crash in Paris. The whole country mourned over her death, while the Royal Family's public image began to tarnish.
