Prince Charles it is announced from

Buckingham Palace that with regret the

in the Princess of Wales death appears

to have come from within the SAS which

uncovered the monarchy's dark suits and

this day I have been by the Royal

[Music]

we have a flash here from the best

association newswire seeing that Diana

Princess of Wales has died in a car

crash in Palace in the early hours of

the 31st of August 1997 in a road tunnel

in Paris Diana the Princess of Wales was

critically injured in a high-speed car

crash a chauffeur-driven Mercedes hit a

concrete pillar while being pursued by

photographers and journalists Diana was

in the back with her Egyptian boyfriend

Dodi Fayed who died almost instantly

also dead was the French driver all

people apart from Diana the only

survivor was her bodyguard in the front

seat Trevor Rhys Jones the engine

roundup into the rear passenger area

miraculously Diana's bodyguard sitting

in the front survived this chaos at the

scene hampered rescue efforts but Diana

was later reported to be critical but

alive in hospital by 4:00 a.m. she was

dead this morning shocking news that

Diana the Princess of Wales has died the

news shook the world I grew up with

Princess Diana

I watched her get married

two beautiful children the following day

her former husband the Prince of Wales

arrived in France to collect her body

and take Diana back home for Barry we're

already there was a spontaneous an

unprecedented outpouring of national

grief and recrimination she was

wonderful she set us on such a good exam

as the royal family tried to keep a

collective stiff upper lip the people of

Britain demanded a show of emotion

nobody's gonna say her voice she cried

because it never feels exactly when it

didn't come immediately their popularity

and standing plummeted their most cold

people on this earth Prince Charles is

self-confessed affair with Camilla

parker-bowles and high-profile divorce

from Diana had already villainized not

only him but the rest of the family too

the princes diner was like her life in

the world and that's going out

everybody's unhappy and we've come here

to help her rest in peace while she's

gone up to heaven

[Music]

while the people mourned the Royals

divid remaining behind the high ramparts

of Balmoral Castle but at 11:30

precisely three black cars emerged from

the castle and crossed the river D the

family on its way to church the service

in the local church lasted an hour but

not once was the princess mentioned by

name Diana had earned her people's

princess title because of a hugely

popular charitable work amongst the

dispossessed and disadvantaged she gave

too much and cared too deeply for us not

to honor a memory with action millions

queued for hours to sign books of

condolences

there are thousands of people joining

the queue all the time they don't know

how long they're gonna have to wait but

here's an estimate for hours and

Buckingham Palace and her former home at

Kensington Palace were surrounded by a

sea of flowers left by ordinary people

in Scotland the royal family continued

their summer holiday we have no hard

information but it's looking more and

more likely that the Queen and Prince

Charles have decided that this remote

Scottish estate is the best place for

the two young princes to come to terms

with their grief through the long days

of this week before their mother's

funeral

but the charmer for them to come out

grew ever stronger

[Music]

forcing Diana's sons and ex-husband from

behind closed doors the people's

princess was born the Honourable Diana

Spencer on the 1st of July 1961 in

Norfolk not far from the Queen's Own

estate at Sandra the Spencer family had

long been close to the royal family and

when her father inherited the title Earl

Spencer diana became lady Spencer though

not of royal blood when she first met

Charles diana was not a potential suitor

but the younger sister of the heir to

the thrones then-girlfriend Lady Sarah

Spencer

the relationship with Sarah did not last

long it ended when Lady Sarah spoke to

newspapers about her royal connections

the Diana and Charles did not fall out

I remember thinking what a very jolly

and amusing and attractive

sixteen-year-old she was at the time of

this first meeting Diana was going

through a rough time academically she

was considered a poor student fading her

Oh level exams twice she spent her time

studying ballet and dreaming of becoming

a ballerina

before she grew too tall it was at a

royal polo match that romance began to

blossom Charles was in his early

thirties and under increasing pressure

to marry and produce a male heir to the

House of Windsor the rumor mill went

into overdrive when Charles invited

Diana on the trip aboard the Royal Yacht

Britannia and then for a weekend at

Balmoral it was there that she first met

her future mother-in-law Queen Elizabeth

and her husband Prince Philip and the

Queen Mother a proposal from Prince

Charles followed a few months later and

Diana said yes her engagement ring

caught the eye of the world 14 solitaire

diamonds surrounding a 12 carat oval

blue Ceylon sapphire set in white gold

it's now worn by Cate the Duchess of

Cambridge given to her when she married

Diana's son Prince William but back in

1981 the alarm bells were already

ringing when the couple gave an

interview about their engagement

Prince Charles seemed unable to confirm

it was true love and I suppose in that

course whatever in love me love or not

the next step was a fairytale wedding

with Diana showing more nerves than her

husband-to-be she confused the order of

his many names take the Charles Philip

Arthur drawed take the Philip Charles

off the door and the wedding vows

deliberately omitted one traditional

line Diana did not promise to obey her

husband

a year later Diana gave birth to their

first child

Prince William second in line to the

throne after his father the Queen and

her whole royal family were delighted

the blast they had the male heir they

wanted it did not take long for the

cracks to show

Prince Charles followed up his whatever

love is gaff with a remark about needing

another woman in his life I've come to

the conclusion that really it would have

been far easier to had two wives

[Music]

although most people did not realize it

at the time there was someone else

already Camilla parker-bowles

[Music]

the Prince of Wales versus Mac Miller

parker-bowles

in 1970 well before Diana she made an

immediate and lasting impression shortly

after being introduced

Camilla pointed out that her relative

Alice Kapil had been mistress to a

previous Prince of Wales King Edward the

sentence Charles and Camilla started a

romantic relationship which lasted about

a year nicknaming eachother Fred and

Gladys it seemed they were destined to

make a permanent however Charles was not

ready to marry and went off to join the

Navy

[Music]

as they went their separate ways Camilla

weds Andrew Parker Bowles the Queen

mother's godson

but rumors persisted that she and

Charles remained close

when Prince Charles finally decided to

settle down with Diana everyone assumed

Camilla was out of his life for good

years later diana famously revealed one

of her then husband's greater secrets in

marriage she was not his only love

fleet-street were out in full force at

Cowdrey Park as Prince Charles rode out

the storm of speculation surrounding his

marriage although she never referred to

her rival by name the British public

assumed the other person in her marriage

was Camilla they turned out to be right

in what was considered to be an

authorized biography of the Prince of

Wales it was revealed that he had

started a second affair with Camilla

parker-bowles

in 1986 five years after his marriage to

Diana did you try to be faithful and

honorable to your wife when you took on

the vow of marriage ears

absolutely and you were yes until it

became irretrievably broken done as an

increasing number of photographs

appeared showing Charles and Diana

posing separately in different parts of

the world speculation that the royal

marriage was finally over reached fever

pitch when Diana was pictured and filmed

all alone at the famously romantic Taj

Mahal in India where couples usually

came to renew their vows of love the

world knew

in 1992 in the House of Commons the

government of the day formally revealed

Britain's worst kept secret it is

announced from Buckingham Palace that

with regret The Prince and Princess of

Wales have decided to separate divorce

was not yet on the cards

Charles was after all heir to the throne

and even an increasingly tolerant United

Kingdom was thought not ready for

divorce King

[Music]

dianna who had always been popular with

the public and who always created huge

media attention began to develop her own

personality outside the royal family she

quickly began to assume the mantle of a

people's princess but diana was no angel

she had secrets to later confessing to

an affair with another polo player Major

James Hewitt while she was still married

to Prince Charles the revelations did

not harm her popularity

it wasn't until 1997 six years after

they separated the Charles and Diana

were finally divorced diana received a

lump sum settlement of 17 million pounds

i think do they have mixed emotions at

v-day of sadness at many wasted years

inside the royal family she still calls

that time the dark ages it's also a day

of hope because at last she's released

from what she calls my prison she also

won a significant concession from her

former jailers these are the key points

of the settlement announced today diana

will no longer be her royal highness

palace officials say she became HRH on

marriage they claim she recognizes it

must now go a new title will be Diana

Princess of Wales

however she'll still be regarded as a

member of the royal family by the Queen

and Prince Charles because she's Prince

William's mother she'll still attend

some state occasions she's now deciding

which one's Diana's life after divorce

took on a new meaning wherever she went

and whatever she did Diana captured

headlines she became a passionate

advocate for the victims of land mines

left behind him more zones

[Music]

when she was filmed and photographed

walking through a cleared minefield

she used the controversy to promote the

cause but after Charles she kept her

personal life as private as she could

could I ask you to respect my children's

face until she was befriended by the

Egyptian tycoon an owner of Harrods

Mohammed al-fayed

who had tried and failed for years to

get a British passport he invited Diana

to holiday on his yacht with her two

young sons the Princes William and Harry

it was there that she met al-fayed son

Dodi he was the only man other than

Prince Charles who the princess allowed

herself to be photographed intimately

with it was her association with the AL

fayeeds that led to the chain of events

that caused her death in the 24 hours

before the fatal car crash in Paris

Diana and Dodi had been holidaying in

the Mediterranean on board mohammad al

fayeeds yacht they took a private jet

from Sardinia to Paris where Diana plan

to stay one night before returning to

London they were met in the French

capital by only Paul the deputy head of

security at alfea Ed's family-owned

hotel outside a growing number of

waiting paparazzi appeared to know the

couple's plans

the word was the Diana was about to

announce she would marry Dodi

speculation that was further fueled by

Dodi leaving the Ritz to pick up a ring

from a nearby jewelers to escape the

increasing attentions of the paparazzi

Diana and Dodi went to his private

apartment initials ELISA leaving by a

rear exit to try and fool the media but

it didn't work

don't he wanted to take Diana for a

romantic Parisian dinner but had to

abandon the idea when the paparazzi

swarmed the pair returned to the safe

haven of the Ritz where they dined alone

in the Imperial suite meanwhile their

driver or appall and bodyguard

Trevor Rhys Jones waited in the bar

later on he Paul was seen talking to the

press and according to some who were

there he told them the princess and Odie

would be leaving the hotel soon Paul

then arranged with Trevor rees-jones

a decoy to distract the paparazzi the

Mercedes and Range Rover the couple had

been using that day would leave from the

front of the hotel without diana and

dodi inside the couple would exit the

back of the hotel in another Mercedes

driven by only Paul Reese Jones was to

accompany them the plan went wrong from

the start the couple's car was soon

caught by the chasing paparazzi pack as

it traveled at high speed towards

plaster la Concorde a 25 minutes past

midnight

the Mercedes crashed into the 13th

pillar of the Alma tunnel Dodi Fayed and

on RuPaul were killed instantly Diana

and her bodyguard

suffered severe injuries bodyguard

trevor Rhys Jones can be seen here with

Princess Diana and Dodi al-fayed earlier

in the same day this is the first time

spoon publicly since the accident that

happened at the end of August last year

and I would first like to extend my

sympathies our family and friends

those who tragically killed in

excellence the paparazzi were at the

scene in seconds it emerged later that

they continued to take photos of the

suffering princess as she lay trapped in

the car before calling an ambulance it

was a circus to see these journalists

going up to the windshield to get as

close as they could to take pictures

none of them

the people injured as some of their

colleague not to call the police to have

more time to take pictures

many of the paparazzi who chase Diana

that night remain unrepentant it

relatively out of proportion I'm sorry

it's absolutely out of proportion with

the pension your budget near Sydney they

didn't impede me from getting to the car

they didn't stop me any more than any

photographer at the scene of an accident

Diana had paid a heavy price for her

fame even in her final moments

she was hounded by the very people who

had helped make her an icon it is a

point to remember that of all the

ironies about Diana perhaps the greatest

was this a girl given the name of the

ancient goddess of hunting was in the

end the most hunted person of the modern

age the public quickly blamed the owners

of the newspapers and magazines which he

paid for pictures of Diana why did it

pay so much money for the photographs

why the paparazzi and there was no money

if there was no money in the contrast

posse would have been after her in the

tunnel and the hunt began for those

directly responsible for the crash

paparazzi were arrested and charged with

the offense of failing to help a person

injured in a road accident

[Music]

if there is an accident they should

become citizens again and stop being

journalists a driver or he Paul was

found to be over the drink driving it

the princess was being driven by a drunk

on a bending dipping road at 121 miles

an hour diana and dodi weren't wearing

seatbelts

only her bodyguard trevor Rhys Jones was

absolved of any blame I've cooperated

fully with the judge I was investigating

the accident and I've told him all my 10

up to this present time I may wish to

ask to see the judge again in the future

but have no intention of doing this at

the moment I'd also like to add that

I've got no intentions of speaking

further on the subject publicly until

after the court proceedings are finished

if at all Diana the Princess of Wales

was always adored by her public an

adoration which only increased as has

struggles to come to terms with the

family she had married into became a

parent the book serializing The Sunday

Times day claims it was the princes

indifference to his wife that caused her

chronic depression and five separate

suicide attempts

Diana never got used to being the

world's most photographed woman her

popularity was a double-edged sword she

believed the media she once courted had

become her enemy

even today the facts surrounding the

death of Diana are far from clear and

many conspiracy theories still abound

despite inquests and formal

investigations none have been proved the

most remain unanswered the people's

princess was a complex person she

undoubtedly took many royal secrets to

the grave but she did leave one clue

about what she thought the royal

family's priorities should be as this

real 21st century Game of Thrones plays

out my first priority will continue to

be our children William and Harry who

deserve as much love and care and

attention as I am able to give as well

as an appreciation of the tradition into

which they were born
