All The Times Princess Diana Played By Her Own Rules

Living a normal life

When Prince Charles proposed to Diana in 1981, she was the first royal who had a normal job and reportedly worked as a part-time kindergarten teacher in London.

When she was working in this role, she shared an apartment with three other roommates, showing she understood the struggles of life and how hard people had to work to earn a living. Having this experience was something very few royals have had and Diana wanted to make sure she instilled hard-working values into her sons.
