Qui a épousé Diana Spencer?

Diana Spencer, souvent dite Lady Di, Lady Diana, Diana ou la princesse Diana, née le 1^er juillet 1961 à Sandringham et morte le 31 août 1997 à Paris 13^e, est une aristocrate britannique, membre de la famille royale britannique.

Elle épouse en 1981 l'héritier du trône britannique Charles, prince de Galles, avec qui elle a deux enfants : William, en 1982, et Henry, dit « Harry », en 1984. Elle gagne très vite une grande popularité et devient une figure mondiale de la cause humanitaire : elle crée et s'engage dans plusieurs associations pour défendre des causes telles que la défense des enfants, la lutte contre le sida, les mines antipersonnel et le cancer. Surnommée « la princesse des cœurs » ou « la princesse du peuple », elle devient la personnalité royale la plus médiatisée avec sa belle-mère Élisabeth II ainsi que l'une des femmes les plus célèbres du monde à la fin du XX^e siècle.

La révélation, dans les années 1990, de son malheur conjugal avec le prince Charles et de son isolement au sein de la famille royale, dégrade pour un temps l'image de cette dernière et renforce le soutien de l'opinion à l'égard de la princesse de Galles. Le couple princier se sépare en 1992 et son divorce est formellement acté en 1996.

Sa mort l'année suivante, à l'âge de 36 ans, lors d'un accident de voiture dans le tunnel du pont de l'Alma à Paris, alors qu'elle est poursuivie par des paparazzis, suscite une émotion internationale et achève d'en faire une icône tragique.

Charles III (Charles Philip Arthur George; born 14 November 1948) is King of the United Kingdom and the 14 other Commonwealth realms.

Charles is the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. He was born during the reign of his maternal grandfather, King George VI, and became heir apparent following his mother's accession in 1952. He was created Prince of Wales in 1958 and his investiture was held in 1969. He was educated at Cheam School and Gordonstoun, and later spent six months at the Timbertop campus of Geelong Grammar School in Victoria, Australia. After completing a history degree at the University of Cambridge, he served in the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy from 1971 to 1976. He married Lady Diana Spencer in 1981 and they had two sons, William and Harry. Charles and Diana divorced in 1996 after years of estrangement and well-publicised extramarital affairs. Diana died the following year from injuries sustained in a car crash. In 2005, Charles married his long-time partner, Camilla Parker Bowles.

As heir apparent, Charles undertook official duties and engagements on behalf of his mother and represented the United Kingdom on visits abroad. He founded the Prince's Trust in 1976, sponsored the Prince's Charities and became patron or president of more than 800 other charities and organisations. He advocated for the conservation of historic buildings and the importance of traditional architecture in society, and in that vein generated the experimental new town of Poundbury. An environmentalist, Charles supported organic farming and action to address climate change during his time as manager of the Duchy of Cornwall estates, earning him awards and recognition. He has also been a prominent critic of genetically modified food, and has drawn scrutiny for his support of alternative medicine. He has authored or co-authored 17 books.

Charles became king upon his mother's death in 2022. At the age of 73 he was the oldest person to accede to the British throne, after having been the longest-serving heir apparent and Prince of Wales in British history. Significant events in his reign have included his coronation in 2023; his cancer diagnosis in 2024, which temporarily suspended planned public engagements; and the removal of his brother Andrew's remaining titles, styles, and honours in 2025.
