Princess Diana had two (Jane and Sarah) as well as a brother (Charles.) However because of her ancestry she is also related to an electic list of other famous people.

here are just a few

Thomas Jefferson, Susan B. Anthony, Emily Dickinson, Katharine Hepburn, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Nancy Reagan, David Rockefeller, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, actors Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, Ben and Casey Affleck, and Winston Churchill.

She is also related to royalty. Her great-grandfather married Adalaide Seymour who was a descendant of the Duke of Grafton . He was the illegitimate son of Charles II. That means that she is a direct discentant of William the conqueror and also a distant cousin of her husband as well as Camilla Parker Bowles (who is also a descendant of an illegitimate child of Charles II)

Diana Spencer was born in the late afternoon on 1 July 1961, in Sandringham, Norfolk. She was the fourth child of Viscount and Viscountess Althorp (née Frances Roche, later Shand Kydd). The Spencer family was hoping for a male heir to carry on the Spencer title (their third child, a boy, died soon after birth). The Spencer family is one of Great Britain's oldest and most important families, closely allied with the royal family for several generations. As the family was expecting a boy, no name was chosen for a week, until they settled on Diana Frances, after a Spencer ancestress and her mother.

Diana was the sister of Lady Sarah McCorquodale; Jane Fellowes, Baroness Fellowes; and Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer.

The Prince of Wales (Prince Charles) had previously been linked to Lady Diana's elder sister Lady Sarah, and in his early thirties he was under increasing pressure to marry. The Prince of Wales had known Lady Diana for several years, but he first took a serious interest in her as a potential bride during the summer of 1980, when they were guests at a country weekend, where she watched him play polo. The relationship developed as he invited her for a sailing weekend to Cowesaboard the royal yacht Britannia, followed by an invitation to Balmoral (the Royal Family's Scottish residence) to meet his family. Lady Diana was well received by Elizabeth II, by The Duke of Edinburgh, and by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. The couple subsequently courted in London. The prince proposed on 6 February 1981, and Lady Diana accepted, but their engagement was kept secret for the next few weeks.

On 5 November 1981, the Princess' first pregnancy was officially announced, and she frankly discussed her pregnancy with members of the press corps. After Diana fell down a staircase at Sandringham in January 1982, 12 weeks into her first pregnancy, the royal gynaecologist Sir George Pinker was summoned from London. He found that although she had suffered severe bruising, the foetus was uninjured. In the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospitalin Paddington, London on 21 June 1982, under the care of Pinker, the Princess gave natural birth to her and the Prince's first son and heir, William Arthur Philip Louis.

A second son, Henry Charles Albert David, was born two years after William, on 15 September 1984. The Princess asserted she and the Prince were closest during her pregnancy with "Harry" (as the younger prince has always been known). She was aware their second child was a boy, but did not share the knowledge with anyone else, including the Prince of Wales.

Today, Prince William is married to Kate Middleton, Prince Harry is still single.
