Diane Parry was born on 1 September 2002 in Nice, France, while her parents were on holiday, and grew up in Boulogne-Billancourt, near Paris. Her father, Joël, played recreational tennis, while her mother, Françoise, practiced handball. She is the fourth of five children, with three older brothers and a younger sister, Alyssia.
Parry began playing tennis at around the age of five at the Tennis Club de Boulogne-Billancourt (TCBB), inspired by her older brothers, who also played at the club. Her first coach, Cécile Palicot, trained her throughout much of her childhood, until she was approximately eleven years old. At the age of twelve, Parry switched from a two-handed to a one-handed backhand, inspired by her childhood idol Roger Federer. Around the same age, she was diagnosed with scoliosis and had to wear a back brace, keeping her away from tennis for six months.
Parry attended Dupanloup primary school, located opposite the Roland-Garros stadium, before enrolling at Jean-de-la-Fontaine school, where she followed a timetable adapted to her tennis training. At the age of fourteen, she joined the French Tennis Federation's National Training Centre in Paris, where she was coached by former professional player Julie Coin between the ages of fourteen and sixteen. She later continued her secondary education through distance learning to accommodate her tennis career.
Parry reached the semifinals of the girls' singles event at the 2019 Wimbledon Championships and the girls' doubles event at the 2019 French Open. She reached a career-high ITF junior combined ranking of world No. 1 on 21 October 2019 and was named the 2019 ITF Junior World Champion.

Parry won her first ITF World Tour title in Hammamet, Tunisia, partnering Yasmine Mansouri.
She made her Grand Slam tournament singles debut at the 2018 French Open, entering the qualifying event as a wildcard, where she upset No. 5 seed Jana Fett in the first round, before losing to Rebecca Šramková in the second.
Parry made her major main-draw debut at the 2019 French Open also as a wildcard, losing in the second round to No. 20 seed Elise Mertens, after having won against Vera Lapko in the first. Later that year, she also made her US Open debut as a wildcard, losing in the first round against Kristýna Plíšková.
