She is, if anything a shade taller than Prince Charles. She has a hint of Victorian elegance about her. Her grey blue eyes have an almost hypnotic quality. Of course it is Lady Diana Spencer, 19. And while matchmakers try to throw Earl Spencer's daughter and Charles together, she cycles unrecognised and unconcerned around London between her Kensington flat and the South London kindergarden where she teaches. While Diana may exude the aura of a future queen, life is not so regal at her flat. There, an hilarious anarchic, almost St Trinians atmosphere exists between Diana and the two girls with whom she shares, all three taking turns with the make-up and generally playing jokes on each other. She is I am glad to discover, human like the rest of us

It's all come as a rather unnerving shock to Lady Diana Spencer to be shot into the limelight and heralded as the nearest thing to a future Queen that we've seen for a long time. Her friendship with Prince Charles has automatically made her a star celebrity, whether she likes it or not, but the revealing shot of her in a see-through dress that made front pages everywhere, caused her acute embarrassment. She's really a quiet country girl who relaxes with her own kind and is genuinely taken aback by the hungry interest in who will finally marry the heir to the throne. At 19, she lives with girlfriends in a happy London flat and works in a kindergarten school. Her natural charm and simplicity of dress and manner are endearing qualities in any young lady. Whether or not they are the marks of a future Queen is another question altogether. She's not saying anything about Charles and he never says anything about his girlfriends. It's that firm tactful silence behind the pretty face that makes you wonder...

This typified to me what stood out most in your husband's character - the spirit of quiet, sunny, unassuming cheerfulness"
