Biography

Princess Diana was born in Paris on 22 May 1932 to Prince Gaetano of Bourbon-Parma and Princess Margarete of Thurn and Taxis. In 1955 she married Prince Franz Josef Hubertus Maria Meinrad Michael of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, son of Frederick, Prince of Hohenzollern. She gave birth to a son, Alexander, in 1957.

She and Prince Franz Josef divorced in 1961 after it was revealed that the prince was not Alexander's biological father.[2] On 21 March 1961 she married her son's biological father, Hans Joachim Oehmichen, in Stuttgart. They had two more children, Gaetano and Maria, and had their marriage consecrated in the Catholic Church in 1992. Her first marriage was officially annulled by the Catholic Church on 17 January 1980.[2] Her second husband died in 1995. Diana resided for 8 years in the Villa Le Pianore in Camaiore, a historic residence for the Bourbons and visited there in 2013.[3] Princess Diana died from COVID-19 in Bad Krozingen, Germany on 4 May 2020.
