We know her as Diana, Princess of Wales, but before she married Prince Charles, she was Lady Diana Spencer, not “Princess”. So how did she continue to be known as a princess after her divorce?
Although Diana was the daughter of an Earl, she was not royalty and only became a princess because she joined the royal family through marriage.
