Morphology
This is a title ('princess') combined with a proper name ('Diana'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to a princess named Diana. Detailed biographical facts (dates, relationships, death) require world knowledge beyond composition, but the basic referential meaning is directly derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Princess Diana was the first wife of Prince Charles who became famous around the world for her style and for her 'charity work' and care for people. She 'died in a car accident' in Paris in 1997, and because she was both kind and suddenly lost, her name now often brings to mind a beloved public figure who helped others and whose death shocked the world.
