Miscellaneous: Lady Diana - Young Adulthood and London
Over the years the Spencer family relationship with the Windsors had hardly suffered. Lady Diana has put up a poster of Prince Charles and adopted the typical hero-worship of many romantic young British girls. As the Spencer children were all of them somehow godchildren of the Royal family and members of the Royal household, social meetings were usual. Viscount Althorp, Diana’s younger brother, was himself a godson of the Queen. An ambitious future for Lady Diana meant an ambitious marriage. But in the meanwhile her Sloane Ranger style developed.
Lady Diana found herself graduated from school but little to do. With her stepmother redoing the family pile and opening up a gift shop, the ancestral home was hardly the place to be. Diana found work as a cook and a teacher at a nursery school in London. The Earl Spencer bought Diana a block of flats in Kensington and she soon had roommates to live with. Lady Diana soon moved among a small circle of friends.
Without drinking, smoking or being a party girl, Lady Diana was hardly the life of anyone’s clique and kept herself fairly pure from the taint of 1980’s social practices. Lady Diana was hardly suited to the fast living sexually promiscuous morally risqué lifestyle prevalent everywhere in the 1980’s. A fish out of water, she kept swimming along until the right hook happened up onto the beach. Only 19, Lady Diana was waiting for life to happen to her.
