PRINCESS DIANA DIED It was shortly after midnight on 31st August, 1997, that Diana, Princess of Wales—who was known affectionately as "the People’s Princess"—died as the result of a car crash in Paris.

Diana and Dodi, who had been holidaying on the French Riviera, arrived in Paris earlier the previous day. They left the Ritz Paris shortly after midnight, intending to go to Dodi’s apartment. As soon as they departed the hotel, a swarm of paparazzi on motorcycles began aggressively tailing their car. About three minutes later, the driver lost control and crashed into a concrete pillar at the entrance of the Pont de l'Alma tunnel. Dodi and the driver were pronounced dead at the scene, while Diana was rushed to hospital and only declared dead at 6am. Her 6th September London funeral was watched by over two billion people.
