Princess Diana Date Of Death
March 9, 2012 by staff
Princess Diana Date Of Death, Just after midnight on August 31, 1997, in Paris, a car carrying Diana, Princess of Wales, and her new love interest, “Dodi” Fayed, plus a bodyguard and a driver, went out of control in a Paris tunnel and crashed. Fayed and the driver were killed instantly; Diana died later in a hospital despite efforts to save her. The bodyguard survived despite critical injuries.
The world reacted. First came horror and shock. Then blame: at first, the entire blame seemed directed at the paparazzi, photographers who were following the princess’ car, and from whom the driver was apparently trying to escape. Later tests showed the driver had been well over the legal alcohol limit, but immediate blame was on the photographers and their seemingly incessant quest to capture images of Diana that could be sold to the press.
Then came an outpouring of sorrow and grief. The Spencers, Diana’s family, established a charitable fund in her name, and within a week, $150 million in donations had been contributed.
Tabloid newspapers with sensationalist headlines written about the Diana/Dodi affair just before her death were pulled from newstands by request of the publishers.
