The late royal, born Lady Diana Spencer, rose to fame in 1980 as the love interest of Prince Charles, the eldest child of Queen Elizabeth II. The next-in-line to the British throne and the former nursery teacher's assistant became engaged in 1981, marrying later that same year. However, after welcoming their sons William and Harry, the relationship soured, with the two divorcing officially in 1996, just one year before Diana's tragic death in a car crash in Paris. Now, more than 20 years after her death, the princess's innate sense of style is in the spotlight once more, as she is welcomed into the royal family as part of hit Netflix biopic, <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/television/royals-in-revolt-season-4-of-the-crown-accused-of-hijacking-and-exploiting-the-british-royal-family-1.1111546"><em>The Crown</em></a>.
