Shortly after, Prince William was born on June 21st 1982. Her second son Henry was born in 1984. First rumours about the royal couple separating started to appear in the late 1980s. Camilla Parker Bowles was named one of the reasons. Finally, in 1992 the royal couple separated. The divorce was finalized in 1996. Princess Diana moved to Kensington Palace, where she lived until her death in August 31st 1997. She was killed in a car crash in Paris.
