"The most beautiful woman in the world"

Today, I talk about "Diana Princess of Wales". This book said about the life of Diana Princess of Wales. 

She was born  on 1 July 1961 at Sandringham in England. Diana's father and mother were friends of Queen then. She and her family were happy, but not. When Diana was 8 years old, her mother divorced her father and went to live with a man in Scotland. She and her brother and sister often met her mother, and they talked and laughed a lot. However, they were not happy about their father and mother. In 1975, her father moved to a big house. He was very rich, and he married new wife when Diana was 16 years old. She didn't like new mother and school life, but she liked and helped young children. She wanted be a dancer.

When she was 16, Diana went to London and worked in school for very young children. She loved them, and she always helped them. Some day, she met Prince Charles. They fell in love soon. When she was 19, Diana married Charles in London on 29 July 1981. Everybody in England was so happy! However, was she happy?

On July 21 1982, Diana and Charles had first son, Prince William. She was a good mother. However, she and her son didn't always stay at home. She had to visit many countries. Everyone wanted to see Diana, but Prince Charles wasn't happy about this. From in this time, her unhappy started. She was often unhappy and ill. She needed love and help, but Charles didn't understand her. He often meet Camilla.

On 15 September 1984, they had second son, Harry. However, they were not happy. After 1992, Diana stopped living with Charles, and four years later, in 1996, she divorced him. So then she was a mother with two children, but no husband. However, Diana and Charles loved children. So, they lived with children one half each. 

She went to a lot of places, because she wanted to help people with AIDS, children in hospital, old people, and schools. She love ordinary people. She made them and people in the world happy. In Africa, she visited hospitals for lepers. Lepers are very ill, but she wasn't afraid. She touched the lepers and talked to them. In Calcutta, she visited Mother Teresa's hospital for children. In 1997, she learned about landmines, and she tried to help victims by it. She helped people.

On 31 August 1997, in Paris, Diana died in a car accident. People came to London from London, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Spain, Germany, America, Australia, and many more countries. She was loved by people around the world.

I thought Diana Princess was so good. I like her. I want to be like her.
