She Wrote Her Own Wedding Vows
Traditional royal wedding vows always, without fail, include the words "cherish," "love," and "obey." Diana didn't like the idea of having to obey her husband, so she omitted it completely from her vows.
She Held a Paid Position Before Becoming a Princess
Before she got married, she was actually born into a family of British nobility. Her father was the Earl of Spencer. However, her status didn't stop her from wanting to pursue a career even though she probably didn't need to. She encouraged her sons to carry on this legacy of working hard for themselves and not relying on a status to get them through life.
