ABC News looks back on the highlights from the life of the "People’s Princess," as she is affectionately remembered. The future Princess of Wales was born in the village of Sandringham on July 1, 1961, to John Spencer and Frances Roche. A family photo from 1962 shows her in her baby carriage at Park House, Sandringham, Norfolk.
