Yet glamour was only one part of her story.
Behind the carefully photographed dresses and formal appearances was a woman navigating an intensely complicated personal life.
Diana's marriage to Charles became increasingly difficult, eventually leading to separation and divorce. Those events marked painful turning points in her life and transformed the way the public understood her.
For someone constantly surrounded by cameras, finding genuine privacy was difficult.
There was a striking contrast between the public Diana and the private woman. In public, she could appear confident, graceful, and composed. Behind that image was someone trying to understand her place within a demanding institution and within a life that rarely allowed her to disappear from public view.
The newly highlighted photographs are meaningful partly because they provide glimpses of that less formal side.
They remind viewers that Diana's life cannot be reduced to royal ceremonies, fashion photographs, or newspaper headlines.
She was also a daughter, a sister, a friend, and most importantly, a mother.
