= Biography  =

Diana Frances Spencer, one of King Charles's descendants , was born on July 1st, 1961 to her parents John Spencer  and Frances Spencer who  were Viscounts Althorp. Diana grew up at Park House at Sandringham in Norfolk. She was the fourth born in her family and three years later her youngest brother Charles was born. In 1969 her parents got divorce and Diana moved with her mother to London. Diana studied at a boarding school  at Kent , there she was a pretty weak student. When she was 16 years old she moved to high school at Rougemont, Switzerland where she graduated. In 1981, while she was 20, Diana married Prince Charles and became " Princess of Wales". Diana had a hard marriage and a hard life. After her first son,  William , was born, Diana suffered from // Depression after childbirth //. Her relationships with Prince Charles started to deteriorate slowly; Diana claimed that at that point they slept in separate rooms. While her pregnancy with her second son Harry, Diana developed eating disturbances and after a while she became bulimic. Diana says that a number of times she even tried to commit suicide. In one of her interviews Diana admitted that it was her way to cry for help.

Around that time, Diana found out that her husband renewed his relationships with his lover Camilla Parker Bowles. That knowledge brought more deterioration in Diana's social situation and that led to total disconnection between Diana and Prince Charles. In fact, most of their married life, Diana and Charles didn't live together but they got divorced officially just after fifteen years, in 1996.

One of Diana's duties as a princess was to make public relations. Diana was s upposed to walk around between the crowds and to be photographed hugging little children. Diana took it a step further. At an interview with her Diana said:" the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved  ". Diana really loved and cared about her people and she decided to help needy people by giving love for the unloved ones.

Diana supported all kinds of charity organizations; she helped homeless, bulimic girls, old people and drug addicts. Diana is most famous for her activity against " Anti-personnel mines " and for her contribution to change the negative opinion about people that suffering from aids. For example, in 1987 Diana was the first famous person who was photograph touching a man with Aids. While doing that, Diana showed the world what is her opinion about people that suffering from aids.

At 31 in August 1997 Diana was involved in a serious car accident where she found her death. Diana went on vacation to France with her partner Dodi Al-Fayed. As usual, a lot of Paparazzi were following her. On the night of August 30th, Diana's car left the hotel where Diana stayed; most of the paparazzi drove after it. The Paparazzi didn't know that Diana was in a different car which drove to a totally different place. Diana's car crashed into a pole at the entrance of the tunnel. All the car riders were hurt badly. A few Paparazzi who followed the right car got photo pictures of the crash and the wounded until the ambulances came. Diana died at the hospital a few hours after the crash. Of what really happened that night, there were always many theories: Was the driver drunk? Did someone pay him to do that? Was the car accident because of Prince Charles wish? Or was it a terrorist organization that made it happened?

Until this day nobody really knows if there was another car involved in the crash, or if the ambulance was late deliberately and what was the car's real speed. However, there is one very clear fact: Princess Diana died, and that made a serious influence on the whole world. The world was shocked. All of England was crying Diana's sudden death. Thousands of people came to share respect to Diana on her final way. England was so attached to Diana and they felt that part of their heart was buried with her.

Diana died, but her legacy of helping each other will always live in the people's heart!

=__ Shoshana Pilzar & Shira Kochva: Diana Interview __=

// Yes, I did. But I couldn't do anything about it. //
 * We all know Charles had a relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles while you were married, did you know about that? **

// I rather not answer that question. //
 * Did you love Prince Charles? **

// After my first birth, I was suffering from //// Depression after childbirth. The whole last year I have changed very much. First my life has changed, I became England's Princess and suddenly everything and everyone was all about me. And second I became pregnant and my body changed. //
 * Diana, socially you didn't have a simple life, what brought you to depression? **

// I guess it had an influence on my Bulimia, and knowing that my husband has a lover didn't help at all. I felt a terrible feeling that I'm not worth anything. I had a low self image that brought me to hate myself and that's why I became Bulimic. //
 * Is that why you were bulimic after wards? **

// I threw up a couples of times a day, I started to hurt myself, and I even tried to commit suicide a few times. //
 * How was that expressed? **

// It was my way to cry for help. //
 * Why would you do that? **

// I think the world can be so much better if we help each other. // ** I think ** **the biggest disease the 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, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.** // At the start, I did it because it was my job as a princess. But when I saw all the pain, when I saw all those suffering people I knew I should help them, and I loved the fact that I can help them. I love to hug those kids; I love to talk to those people. You can't imagine what it feels like to see the happiness in their eyes and to know it's because of you. I just want to be there for them. //
 * What brought you to help and contribute to charity organization? **

// I didn't think it'll have such an effect, but I'm happy it did. The idea was to show people that people who are suffering from AIDS can still be touched, because they really need that touch. I hope this photo helped people change their minds about all kinds of miserable people. //
 * On April **** 1987 you were photographed touching a man with aids, did you know what effect it will have on the world? **

// I live for my sons! Family is the most important thing in the world. Any sane person would have left long ago. But I cannot. I have my sons. //
 * What is your relation to your sons? **

// You didn't ask the correct question. I don't think that I developed England as a country, but I think that I helped the population. I'm Lady D; I'm the princess of the people. I didn't make any peace treaty but I really cared about the citizens. //
 * How did you develop England? **

// I think that I was a careful princess and the people knew that I'll do my best to help them. //
 * So how did you help the citizens? **

=__ Speech - __=

Ladies and gentlemen good evening!! Seeing you all here tonight gives me energy! I appreciate you all coming tonight to show your identification. Thanks to people like you I'm here today.

Bulimia, as you know is a very serious disease, from my own experience; I can tell you that Bulimia comes from psychological problems. This doesn’t mean it can't be changed, worked out and solved.

First, one must be aware that they are in trouble. One must be aware that if not dealt with, the outcome may be deadly. One must learn to receive help. This disease is a cry out to us all.

Can you imagine how I felt when outside I'm a rich, pretty, successful princess, while inside I'm a bleeding heart.

What can an outsider do? Listening, understanding and loving are good but not enough. The cost of helping other Bulimia patients is very high. Do you really care??? Donate your money and be sure that you are saving lives!
