Mary Robertson, an American businesswoman who lived in London in 1980, hired a young woman to be her nanny. She had no clue that her nanny would later be known as Princess Diana.
Back in 2017, Inside Edition interviewed Mary Robertson about Lady Diana Spencer's time working for her and what she labeled as the late Princess' "happiest year of her life."
At that point, the People's Princess made only $5 an hour taking care of Mary's toddler son, Patrick, and handling several other activities, including doing their laundry, picking up a bunch of toys and washing the dishes.
One of the most impressive aspects of her story is that she didn't know that Diana was a member of the British Aristocracy when she hired her.
Mary confessed that she called a local nanny agency asking for a part-time person to work for her. Surprisingly, the only part-time nanny available was "a young woman named Diana Spencer."
Shortly after that, 18-year-old Diana went to her house for an interview. As expected, Mary "fell in love" with the young Lady, especially because she was wonderful with little Patrick.
Time went by, and Diana never mentioned that she was part of one of the oldest families in England. Mary eventually found out about it, though, and it was thanks to a deposit slip from her nanny's bank. Mary revealed: "It said 'Lady Diana Spencer' and it was deposited to Coutts and Company."
Since Mary worked in finance, she knew that Coutts and Company was the bank of the aristocracy and the Royal family, so she had to ask Diana about it.
The young Princess didn't give Mary's discovery much importance and, instead of talking about it and providing some more details, she just kept fulfilling her nanny duties.

All she wanted was to be a good wife and mother. But that wasn’t enough for Charles or his snobby set.
Well, Donald Trump wrote to her after her divorce (and his) and asked to court her, and told her he could provide the kind of security and luxury to which she had been accustomed, but she sneered.
Frankly, Donald dodged a bullet. She was very high maintenance, and wouldn't have lifted him up the way Melania has.
And it would have been only a matter of minutes before Oprah would have gotten to Diana. Oprah already knew and had interviewed Donald on TV. Being bitter, Diana would have done to the monarchy what Little Ms Hollywood has done. Orca has had to wait another quarter century to slime the Royals.
She was too gentle to deal with the stress of being a royal.
Shoulda used the seat belt.
You blow the assignment of guarding the most famous woman on the planet and end up with this gig.
Uh huh.
I for one, am relieved she’s not around anymore. I promise you she would be an insufferable, sneering, woke scold.
We all dodged a bullet.
And I love your tagline. What song is it from?
"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
—Bob Dylan, 1968
Ya kill one, might as well kill 'em all.
Thanks 👍 shame on me for not knowing that.
