A gracious lady who proved that public life is not for everyone.
She was too beautiful to let her life be dictated by the royal family. Even though she is gone, she leaves her two sons that may take the throne some day. I read an article that the Royal family planned her death to make it look like an accident, fearing she may embarrass the family if she is seen with another man in public. I don't know if there is any truth to the story.
Always remembered. There is a great article published today about the story of a firefighter who was one of the first responders on the scene. He was the last person who spoke to Diana. RIP.

Always remembered. I remembered exactly where I was in Schaffhausen, Switzerland when the story broke...I ran to the TV thinking it was a hoax!
I wonder when the "real truth" of what lead to her demise would finally come out or has it already?
Perhaps in time the "real truth" will be revealed.
There are many versions, one of which indicated that she was in the process of marrying Dodi Al-Fayed, son of billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed.
