JSA JSA - Japanese Standards Association. Princess Diana Noun 1. Princess Diana - English aristocrat who was the first wife of Prince Charles; her death in an automobile accident in Paris produced intense national mourning (1961-1997) Diana, Lady Diana Frances Spencer, Princess of Wales brought an intense interest in royalty to America. This book does a good job of describing the real life of the royals, especially Prince William, the second in line to the British throne. He has become a handsome heart-throb and his every move is watched and reported by the press. This volume shows the negatives and the positives of growing up royal in Europe, but its coverage is heavily concentrated on the British. It is in a teen-oriented format, with sidebars that contain fascinating information and wonderful color pictures. Its format, bigger than a normal paperback, is still a pleasing easy-to-hold size.
