Soal Recount Text UN SMA dan Kunci Jawaban: Diana

Diana was born in 1961 as the third daughter of Edward John Spencer and his wife Ruth Burke Roche. Diana grew up in a very privileged family that had a long history of close ties with the royal family. When Diana’s paternal grandfather passed away in 1975, Diana’s father became the 8th Earl of Spencer, and Diana gained the title of “Lady”.

In 1969, Diana’s parents divorced. Her mother’s affair helped the court decide to give custody of the couple’s four children to Diana’s father. Both of her parents eventually remarried, but the divorce left an emotional scar on Diana.

Diana attended school at West Heath in Kent and spent a short time finishing school in Switzerland. Although she was not an excellent student academically, her determined personality, caring nature, and cheerful outlook helped her through it. After returning from Switzerland, Diana rented an apartment with two friends, worked with children at the Young England Kindergarten, and watched movies, and visited restaurants in her free time.

It was about this time that Prince Charles, in his early 30, was under increasing pressure to choose a wife. Diana’s vibrancy, cheerfulness, and good family background caught the attention of Prince Charles and the two began dating in the mid-1980. It was a whirlwind romance, for on February 24, 1981, Buckingham Palace officially announced the couple’s engagement.
