she was a normal girl who was chosen for her capabilities as a brood mare to bring forth heirs to the throne. She was able to bring the monarchy the children that they so dearly needed.
Diana was educated at Riddlesworth Hall[5] in Norfolk and at West Heath Girls' School (later reorganised as the New School at West Heath, a special school for boys and girls) in Sevenoaks, Kent, where she was regarded as an academically below-average student, having attempted and failed all of her O-levels twice.[6] In 1977, aged 16, she left West Heath and briefly attended Institut Alpin Videmanette, a finishing school in Rougemont, Switzerland. At about that time, she first met her future husband, who was dating her sister, Lady Sarah. Diana excelled in swimming and diving and reportedly longed to be a ballerina, but at 5 feet 10 inches was too tall.
Following the completion of her formal education, Diana begged her parents to allow her to move to London, a request which was granted before she was seventeen. An apartment was bought for her at Coleherne Court in the Earls Court area, and she lived there until 1981 with her three flatmates. In that time she studied for a cordon bleu cooking diploma, although she hated cooking,[citation needed] and worked at Madame Vacani's Dance Academy in Kensington, but resigned because she didn't like the pushy stage school parents.[citation needed] Lady Diana then filled time as a cleaner and a cocktail waitress, before finding a job at the Young England kindergarten, supplemented by nannying for an American baby boy, Patrick Robinson.
An iconic presence on the world stage, Diana was noted for her sense of style, charisma, humour[citation needed] and high-profile charity work, yet her philanthropic endeavours were overshadowed by her scandal-plagued marriage to Prince Charles.
From the time of her engagement to the Prince of Wales in 1981 until her death in a car accident in 1997, Diana was one of the most famous women in the world - the pre-eminent celebrity of her generation. During her lifetime, she was often described as the world's most photographed woman. To her admirers, the Princess of Wales was a role model — after her death, there were even calls for her to be nominated for sainthood[citation needed] — while her detractors consider her to have been suffering from a mental illness; it has been suggested that Diana was, according to one biographer, possibly suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder.[11] Diana herself admitted to struggling with depression, and the eating disorder bulimia, which recurred throughout her adult life.
She wasn 't stupid by any means, she wasn't a Mensa member, either. Rather she was well trained in etiquette and social grace and knew enough how to use her status to effect change. In that respect, she was brilliant. She knew what her power meant and she used it for the greater good. If you ever have the opportunity to see the museum exhibit of her life, do it. You will be sobbing at the end. She was great because she was a commoner who happened to have the credentials enough to satisfy the Royal family that her being a royal wife would make everyone happy. She was greater because she seized the opportunity to support unpopular causes like aids and effect awareness. She was brilliant because she knew how to work it. A goddess of modern times and a victim of massive cover up and subterfuge because after she had done her duty the Prince had no use for her. Tell me it ain't so
By the time she realized she had the piwer and strength to end her marriage farce and move on it was too late, the more powerful forces did her in. I saw the exhibit of her life at a museum in Ft. Lauderdale and it was heartbreaking. To her credit, she pushed the envelope even further and will make the usery of fertile and young beautiful women less likely to become pawns of the monarchy seeking to extend it's family.

Well, she was a D-student at a school for the not-so-smart rich kids (so I've been told), so she didn't do well academically. Also, marrying Charles when he was already with Camilla, and cheating on him with multiple partners were not bright ideas either. Can you imagine what would have happened if William and/or Harry were not Charles' kids? If Diana had cheated on Charles a few centuries ago, she would have been beheaded for treason!
But other than that I liked Diana because she was selfless and always helped other people, worked for the red cross, charities, etc. Her entire adult life (short as it was; she only lived to be 36) was dedicated to people other than herself: first to the British monarchy and then to charities and other organizations. She was a good person, but didn't do well in the academic or the men departments. ;)

"Diana, Princess of Wales" and "Intelligent" are jointly special phrases. Don't realize in which William will get his intelligence from (bought to school on his possess deserves) however it certain is not his mom. She took and failed all of her O-stages two times.

She didn't do well academically but I'm sure she was intelligent other than that. I don't think she was very confident within herself though. She had eating disorders.
