  1. Lady Diana Spencer grew up as a member of the English aristocracy.  After she finished her schooling, she lived in West London where she was a part of the Sloane Ranger subculture (which is a little like saying she was an English Yuppie or Preppie).


  2. Websites?!I  also read books! It's the only way to really get all of the information that you need.Diana was an aristocrat,a member of the titled gentry,growing up among other privileged aristocrats and royals(she knew Andrew  and Edward because she grew up near Sandringham Castle,in a house on the land there). She was born Diana Frances Spencer,daughter of the heir to the earldom of Spencer.Diana became a Lady upon her father's inheriting the title. She was reared to be caring person(noblesse oblige)and to use her status to help others.To get a good idea of her background,visit the family website at http://www.althorp.com and then read the following books:

    The Diana Chronicles by Tina Brown

    Diana by Sarah Bradford

    Diana:Story of a Princess by Phil Craig and Tim Clayton

    Ever After: Diana and the Life She Led by Anne Edwards

    (These are only four books,I've read  over 20)

  3. Kooks.  Her family were (and are) all certifiable.

  4. I didn't get this from any website, and I have to sort of agree with Julius.  Her family has a few loose ones on the branches.

    Her father was an Earl, which meant she was a Lady.  (a fairly common title in England, and more so every year).  She was raised on a country manor, Althorp, and had a fairly priveleged upbringing..."public" schools, and the like, but she was not of the sort who could just sit around eating bon bons, either.  She had to work for a living, and she wasn't exactly the brightest.  She quite famously did poorly on almost all of her exit exams from British High School, and didn't attend any further schooling besides a Swiss finishing school (translate: a year of hanging out with girlfriends in a wealthy person's resort town in Switzerland...no actual education going on there.)  The only exams she did well on were those involving Home Economics type courses.  She liked to cook, and always loved children.

    She worked after school, in a British "Nursery School", equivalent to a US preschool or daycare center, and shared a flat with five other girls, one of whom was Sarah Ferguson.

    She had met Charles when she was around 14 or 15, when he went out to Althorp to visit her older sister Sarah (yes, a popular name for our generation), whom he was dating at the time.  Diana made very little impression on the older man, mostly because she was very shy and intimidated by him, and because she was, after all, just a kid.

    She was interested in mostly girlie things as a child.  She loved to dance, especially Ballet and tap, and at one time wanted to be a ballet dancer...or a princess.  Her sisters teased her and called her "Dutch", short for duchess, because she used to go around saying she would be a princess when she grew up.  And she had an accident while riding when she was young, and was deathly afraid of horses.  Interesting, that one of her first alleged affairs was with the riding instructor who was teaching her to get over that fear, so she could fit in with her in-laws better.
