Diana, Princess of Wales, 36, 1961 -1997

Heads spun wherever Princess of Wales, Diana, went! Her aura, style, compassion, and personality were admired throughout the world, and there was no one like her. While she devoted her life to working with many charitable organizations, the marriage to Prince Charles was less than perfect, and the pair separated in 1996.

Although the outpouring of love never stopped and after Diana met with the fatal accident in Paris in 1997, her impact on the world became more evident. The former Royal may not have survived to see her two sons happily married today, but what lives on is her legacy through them and her grandchildren!
