what happened to princess diana

Princess Diana died on August 31, 1997, during the early hours of the morning, from injuries sustained earlier that night in a car crash in the Pont de lAlma tunnel in Paris, France. Dianas partner, Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the Mercedes-Benz W140, Henri Paul, were found dead inside the car. Dodis bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones, was seriously injured, but was the only survivor of the crash. Diana suffered from a concussion, broken arm, and a cut to her thigh in the crash, but what ultimately took her life were her severe chest wounds. Her death sparked an outpouring of public grief in the United Kingdom and worldwide, and her televised funeral was watched by an estimated 2.5 billion people. The royal family was criticized in the press for their reaction to Dianas death. Public interest in Diana has remained high, and she continues to retain regular press coverage in the decades since her death.
