Her down-to-earth nature and ability to connect with commoners was something the public hadn\u2019t yet seen in royalty. As we celebrate the Princess of Wales\u2019 birthday month, it\u2019s a joy to dive into the vault and sift through some of her most iconic moments.

Photographer Tim Graham pressed snap at precisely the right moment, capturing her nodding off in a plush red chair. The then-20-year-old donned a puffy chiffon dress by high-end designer Bellville Sasson &ndash; we doubt the brand had any idea she\u2019d fall asleep wearing it, but that was Diana, always full of surprises. Speaking of surprises, the palace swooped in and revealed why she felt so sleepy the following day.\n</p><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-98082 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/justmetalking.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/11%5C/397df88455eb-princess-diana-leav.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"640\"' height='\"1066\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/397df88455eb-princess-diana-leav.png' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>On November 5, 1981, Buckingham Palace announced that Princess Diana was pregnant with her and Prince Charles \u2019 first child. Back then, it was an unexpected turn of events, with the couple having married merely four months prior. Of course, it explains why she might have been so tired &ndash; in addition to the whirlwind start of life as a royal. Queen Elizabeth kindly asked the media to give Diana space during her pregnancy.\n</p><p>Princess Diana gave birth to Prince William on June 22, 1982 at St. Mary\u2019s Hospital. She later revealed that it was a difficult time for her in Andrew Morton\u2019s Diana: Her True Story. \u201cWhen we had William, we had to find a date in the diary that suited Charles and his polo,\u201d she said. \u201cWilliam had to be induced because I couldn\u2019t handle the press pressure any longer, it was becoming unbearable. It was as if everyone was monitoring every day for me.\u201d\n</p><p>\u201cAnyway, the boy arrived, great excitement,\u201d she added. \u201cThrilled, everyone absolutely high as a kite \u2013 we had found a date where Charles could get off his polo pony for me to give birth.
