Often remembered as the \u201cPeople\u2019s Princess,\u201d Princess Diana earned widespread admiration for her compassion, charitable work, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Her warmth and dedication to humanitarian causes left a lasting impact, making her one of the most beloved members of the British royal family.<\/p>\n

Unlike the rest of the engagement rings of the British royals, which are custom made, Diana\u2019s 12-carat sapphire ring surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds set in white gold was ordered from a Garrard jewelry collection catalog. Upon her passing, the ring went to Kate Middleton after William proposed to her with it.<\/p>\n

On her wedding day, Diana was so excited and even confused that she called her future husband Philip Charles Arthur George instead of just Charles Philip.<\/p>\n\"\" <\/picture>\n

According to her brother Charles Spencer, Diana had a hard time wearing the tiara at the beginning because it caused her headaches.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cIn the evening we all went to a sort of semi-private party and she was there and I just remember she had a cracking headache also since she wasn\u2019t used to wearing a tiara all morning,\u201d he said in an interview.<\/p>\n\"\" <\/picture>\n

As much as it was very special, Diana\u2019s wedding dress caused her some trouble as the designers of the 25-foot train failed to take into an account how challenging it would be to walk in. When she entered the carriage, Lady Di\u2019s dress slightly crushed and appeared wrinkled as a result.<\/p>\n
