This is what Princess Diana would’ve looked like now if she’d still been alive
This is what Princess Diana would’ve looked like at 57
If she’d still be alive, Princess Diana would turn 57 on the first of July 2018. Diana Spencer was still very young when she married Prince Charles and she died in a tragic car accident when she was only 36 years old. A lot of fans still mourn ‘the people’s princess’ because she died way too young. But, thanks to all kinds of modern computer technology, it’s possible to reconstruct faces and make them look older. Somebody did this for Diana so we can all see what she would’ve looked like at 57 years old.
She was such a beautiful woman.
Princess Diana
Diana was born into a family of nobility, but it wasn’t until her father got the title of ‘Earl Spencer’ in 1975 that Diana became Lady Diana. Diana went to school in England and Switzerland and was a nursery teacher until she married Prince Charles. She only rose to worldwide fame when her engagement to Prince Charles was announced in February 1981. The two got married in St Paul’s Cathedral on July 29 1981, after which she officially became Diana, Princess of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, Duchess of Rothesay and Countess of Chester.
Marriage
Prince Charles and Princess Diana didn’t have an easy marriage. Neither of the two were ever 100 percent happy with the other, especially not after it turned out Charles had an affair with his old flame Camilla Parker Bowles. Out of revenge, Diana started an affair with James Hewitt, her horse riding instructor. The royal couple officially divorced in 1996. In an interview, Diana explained that things were bad for a long time, because the marriage was too full, since there were three people in it, the third person being Camilla.
Children
Pretty soon after the wedding, Diana fell pregnant with her first son, William. He was born on the 21st of July 1982. The couple’s second son, Harry, followed on the 15th of September 1984. Diana was a revolutionary when it came to raising her children compared to other royal mothers. She picked their first names herself, which was rather unusual back then, and she didn’t want a nanny. She dropped the children off at school herself, took them with her on vacation, picked out their clothes and adapted her own schedule to fit with her children’s. This was unusual, since princesses normally didn’t take care of their own children.

Divorce
Only five years after getting married, Charles and Diana turned out not to be a right fit after all. We say ‘only’, because in the end their marriage lasted 15 years. There was a 13 year age gap between the two and they often didn’t agree on things. In 1986, the affair between Charles and Camilla started, after which Diana began something with James Hewitt. It wasn’t until 1992 that the royal family announced the couple had split, and it wasn’t until four years later, in 1996, that the divorce was official.
Death
Princess Diana was on her way to her hotel in Paris with her love Dodi Fayed on the day of her death. She died on August 31 1997, together with Fayed and their driver Henri Paul. Diana’s bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones, survived the accident. The entire world was in shock. Many theories about Diana’s death followed: was it a tragic accident, was it the fault of the paparazzi that were chasing them or was Prince Charles behind it? We’ll never know…
