On July 1, 1961, 59 years ago, a woman named Frances Roche gave birth to a child. The child, Diana Frances Spencer, would soon be called “The People’s Princess” later, because of her great love for the masses. Unfortunately, she was taken from the world at a rather young age, when she died from a car accident on August 31, 1997. She would be remembered, however, as one of the most influential people that lived in the modern era.
