August 31, 1997, 12:23 a.m.: moments before  Princess Diana is in a fatal car crash. A black Mercedes speeds down the narrow streets of  Paris. Inside are two security guards, an Egyptian   film producer named Dodi Fayed, and Princess Diana  of Whales. Numerous paparazzi on motorbikes and   Vespas chase after them like a swarm of locusts.  Diana looks out the back window, nervous that at   these speeds, someone will get hurt. She is  more worried about other people’s safety than   her own. She turns around just as the Mercedes  is about to enter a tunnel. Diana gets a glimpse   of the glittering lights along the Eiffel Tower  before disappearing under the streets of Paris. A moment later, the sound of tires screeching  and a terrible crash as metal bends and glass   shatters escapes from the tunnel’s opening.  The Parisian air is silent for a moment as   smoke begins to rise out of the underpass.  The plague of paparazzi enter the tunnel;   the flashes of their cameras illuminate  the wreckage as they take photographs of   the mangled car with Diana inside instead of  offering the critically injured woman help. July 1, 1961: 36 years before Princess  Diana is in a fatal car crash. A baby cries in the bedroom of the lavishly  decorated estate named Park House near   Sandringham, Norfolk, England. The child’s mother  looks at her daughter with love in her eyes;   tears and sweat cover her face. “Hello, Diana,”  her mother says. Diana of Whales enters the world,   unknowing of the impact she will have on  the British and people across the globe. She grows up in an aristocratic family. Her  childhood playmates are Queen Elizabeth’s   young sons, Prince Andrew, and Prince  Edward. Diana herself is nobility due   to the fact that her father, Edward John  Spencer, is heir to the 7th Earl Spencer,   and her mother, Frances Ruth Burke Roche, is  the daughter of the 4th Baron Fermoy. Young   Diana is groomed to be a traditional  proper lady, but she will push the   boundaries through her philanthropic work,  dedication to charities and to help others. 1977: 20 years before Princess  Diana is in a fatal car crash. Diana meets Prince Charles at one of the  family homes called Althorp Estate. He is   heir to the British throne. Diana catches  the prince’s eye. They begin talking,   and young love begins to take hold.  They spend more and more time together;   their relationship blossoms into  something much more serious. February 24, 1981: 16 years before  Princess Diana is in a fatal car crash. Prince Charles and Princess Diana  are married at St Paul’s Cathedral   in London. The masses gather to get  a glimpse at the heir to the British   Crown and his wife. As Diana has spent  more and more time in the spotlight,   the national attitude towards her has shifted.  Most British citizens know who Prince Charles is,   but they are quickly falling in love with his new  bride, and most prefer her over the King-to-be. On   June 21, 1982, Diana’s and Charles’s first  child, Prince William Arthur Philip Louis,   is born. Two years later, their second child  Prince Henry Charles Albert David, is born. However, even though the two are married and  have kids together, things are not going as   well as they seem. The more time Diana and Charles  spend together, the less happy they become. Prince   Charles has not been the most faithful companion.  His power and status in the United Kingdom are   sometimes used to get what he wants from others,  in particular, other women. This infidelity and   events to come will serve as the foundation  for conspiracy theories that Diana’s death   was not an accident but an assassination  plot carried out by the Royal Family. 1986: 11 years before Princess  Diana is in a fatal car crash. Prince Charles renews an old fling with Camilla  Parker Bowels. He is not discrete about it,   and eventually, most of the United Kingdom,  including his wife, Princess Diana, finds   out about the affair. Charles will claim that  Camilla is the love of his life, something that   he also said about Diana at the beginning of their  relationship. The affair takes a toll on Diana.   She develops an eating disorder and struggles  with depression. Even though her husband is the   one who is conducting himself in unethical ways,  Diana is still hounded by the paparazzi who try to   uncover dirt and smear her image in the tabloids,  using her suffering as fuel for their exposes. June 1992: 5 years before Princess  Diana is in a fatal car crash. Diana meets with friends and tells them about  her struggles being married to Charles. These   friends then meet with journalists with Diana’s  blessing to tell her story. Not everything that   comes out in the press is directly from Diana,  in article entitled “Diana -- Her True Story,”   by tabloid reporter Andrew Morton opens the  door so that the public can get a glimpse into   the unhealthy marriage that Diana is stuck in and  what it’s doing to her physical and mental health. It’s around this time that much of the world  rallies behind Princes Diana and puts pressure   on Charles and the Royal Family to remedy the  situation. Either Diana needs to be treated   with more respect and compassion, or they  need to allow her to escape the loveless   marriage with the Prince. The general public  sees the princes as the epitome of grace,   charity, and elegance. Diana’s work with  charities and willingness to speak out for   others only deepens the public’s  respect and admiration for her. In December of that year, Prime Minister  John Major makes a formal announcement   declaring the separation of Princess  Diana and Prince Charles in parliament. November 20, 1995: 2 years before  Princess Diana is in a fatal car crash. Diana goes on live television and gives an  interview about her crumbling marriage and   life stuck in the iron grip of the Royal Family.  It’s during this interview that Diana admits to   having her own affair with cavalry officer  James Hewitt. She tells the world that she   adored Hewitt at the time but is trying to  move on with her life. Diana also states   that she seriously doubts Charles’s ability  to handle all of the responsibilities that   come with being king. And as his former  wife, she would know better than most   about the shortcomings of Prince Charles.  This is a real cause for concern as Queen   Elizabeth is growing older, and Charles will  become the monarch of England upon her death. On August 28, 1996, Diana and Charles are granted  a decree of absolution and formally divorce. This   made the Royal Family look bad, but Charle’s  infidelity looked worse, and most believe that the   divorce is for the best, including the Queen.  Princess Diana and Prince Charles had been   married for 15 years, only a handful of which were  happy. Diana is given 17 million pounds in the   settlement but is stripped of her title of Royal  Highness, something that she happily gives up. August 1997: 1 month before Princess  Diana is in a fatal car crash.   A series of articles come out in the tabloids that  Princes Diana has been seen with a new man she is   suspected of being in a relationship with. It’s  confirmed that the gentleman suitor is Dodi Fayed,   an Egyptian film producer and son of Mohamed  Al-Fayed. Mohamed is a billionaire who has made   his fortune from various business ventures in  the United Kingdom since the 1960s. He owns the   Hôtel Ritz Paris, Harrods department, and Fulham  F.C. in London. These business ventures have made   Mohamed Al-Fayed a very rich and powerful man,  something that his son has benefited greatly from. August 30: 12 hours before Princess  Diana is in a fatal car crash. Diana and Dodi arrive by private jet in Paris,  France. Like anywhere Princess Diana goes,   the paparazzi are there invading  her privacy. Even though she is no   longer married to the heir to the British  throne, people can’t get enough of her,   which means that Diana and her life sell  papers. Tabloid reporters will do anything   to get a photo or uncover even the smallest  amount of information about Diana’s life,   especially when it comes to who she is involved  with romantically. The paparazzi are like hungry   wolves that will stop at nothing to tear apart  Diana’s life in hopes of getting a juicy meal. The couple steps off the plane at Le Bourget  Airport. They quickly get into the waiting   car as the camera flashes from the paparazzi  who have gathered go off. The driver floors   the accelerator; the tires screech against the  tarmac, leaving long black streaks. The car zooms   away and exits the airport onto the main road. The  paparazzi jump into their cars and try to follow. A high-speed chase down the narrow back  roads leading away from the airport   begins. The car races towards Paris, and  in the winding streets towards the city,   the driver loses the paparazzi.  They continue to Villa Windsor,   a mansion that Mohamad Al-Fayed has just bought  and renovated. It’s located in Bois de Boulogne,   the former Royal Hunting Grounds that has been  converted into a park along the Seine River. The   stunning property once belonged to the Duke  and Duchess of Windsor. Diana and Dodi reach   the estate and step out of the car. They are  safe from the prying eyes of the press for now. 4:30 p.m. 8 hours before Princess  Diana is in a fatal car crash. Diana and Dodi leave his father’s estate  and head to Paris. They check into the Ritz,   where the paparazzi once again pick up their  trail. The tabloid jackals are kept at bay   by hotel security while the couple goes up to the  Imperial Suite. A little over an hour later, Dodi   leaves the hotel and heads to Repossi Jewelers,  where he talks to the owner. Later that evening,   two rings from the store are delivered to the  hotel and brought up to the Imperial Suite. It’s unknown if one of the pieces of jewelry is an  engagement ring, but Diana told her friends that   any ring she receives from Dodi will be “going  firmly on my right hand." This suggests that   a proposal wasn’t in the immediate future, and  instead, the rings are just adornments or gifts.   Later the jeweler discloses that he sold Dodi an  “extraordinary” diamond solitaire ring. It cost   $205,000. Therefore, Dodi may have had other plans  and was, in fact, going to ask Diana to marry him. 9:30 P.M. 3 hours before Princess  Diana is in a fatal car crash. Diana and Dodi leave the Ritz around 7:00  p.m. to go to Dodi’s apartment near the   Arc de Triomphe. They spend several hours there  before leaving for a 9:30 dinner at Paris Bistro,   Chez Benoit. However, when they get to the  restaurant, the paparazzi are waiting. They   step out of their car only to be swarmed by  photographers snapping shots and tabloiders   screaming at them. Diana and Dodi feel they  will never have a peaceful dinner together,   with the press constantly on the prowl for more  photos. The restaurant doesn’t have security,   and there is no way to keep the paparazzi away  long enough for the couple to enjoy their dinner. They decide to go back to the Ritz and have  a meal there, where security will keep the   paparazzi away. Diana and Dodi arrive back at the  hotel around 9:50 p.m. and walk through the front   entrance. Security stops the paparazzi from trying  to sneak in behind them. The couple proceeds   down the blue and gold carpet toward L'Espadon  restaurant in the hotel. Several minutes later,   they leave. When questioned, Dodi’s bodyguard  Paul Handley-Greaves explains that the couple   left the hotel restaurant because even there, they  were receiving unwanted attention. Diana and Dodi   proceed up the spiral staircase to the Imperial  Suite, where their dinners will be delivered. 10:00 p.m.: 2 hours and 30 minutes before  Princess Diana is in a fatal car crash. Dinner arrives in the sitting room of  the Imperial Suite. The couple nibbles on   some appetizers and have fish for their main  course. Around 10:08 p.m. Henri Paul arrives   at the Ritz. He is the number 2 security man  at the hotel. He has been called in to help   deal with the rampant paparazzi problem  that Diana and Dodi have been dealing   with all day. He chats with associates in  the lobby and meets with other security   agents in the hotel. Everyone who talks  to Paul recounts their conversations as   being normal. No one remembers him taking  even a sip of alcohol while at the hotel. Paul and other security guards remain  in the lobby to keep watch while Diana   and Dodi finish their meal and spend time  together in the Imperial Suite. At some point,   Paul goes into the hotel bar with other  security officers and sits down at a table   with them. There is no security camera  in the bar, and later when people are   interviewed about Paul’s behavior that night,  no one remembers seeing him drink any alcohol. April 31, 12:07 a.m.: 16 minutes before  Princess Diana is in a fatal car crash. The couple heads back to the lobby from  the Imperial Suite. Diana stops Dodi on   the stairs and voices her concerns about the  paparazzi outside. They discuss it briefly   before meeting with their security detail. Diana  is nervous that something bad is going to happen   if things continue the way they have been.  She tells bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones that   the way the paparazzi are chasing after her and  Dodi on motorcycles is incredibly dangerous,   and she is worried that one of them might get  hurt or accidentally fall under the wheels of the   car. Even though Diana has had her life invaded  by the press, she still shows concern for them. In order to help Diana and Dodi escape the  paparazzi’s prying eyes, the security team   comes up with a plan. The couple wants to  return to Dodi’s apartment for the night,   but without being bothered once they get there.  In order to accomplish this, the security team   decides to use two decoy vehicles and one  secret car that will be used to transport   the couple back to the apartment. A Range Rover  and a Mercedes-Benz roll up to the front of the   hotel. It appears to everyone outside, including  the paparazzi, that the couple is about to   come out of the hotel and proceed to their next  destination. They wait along the street to follow. To make the ruse convincing, Dodi’s regular  driver is at the wheel of one of the cars.   The security guards stand outside the main  entrance to the Ritz posted up as if waiting   for the couple to come out. However, this is  all just part of the plan. At the same time,   Diana and Dodi are heading to the back entrance  to get into a third car that has been rented for   them to escape the paparazzi. The car is  a black Mercedes S280. It’s a luxury car   with a little bit of weight to it making it not  great for maneuvering through the narrow streets   of Paris. But as long as the paparazzi don’t  catch onto the decoy plan, it should be fine. Behind the wheel of the car is Henri Paul. Trevor  Rees-Jones escorts Diana and Dodi out the back   of the hotel. It’s unclear what happens next,  but somehow the paparazzi figure out they are   being tricked and identify the car that Diana  and Dodi are actually in. Some accounts state   that Henri Paul had previously been taunting the  paparazzi, which resulted in someone keeping an   eye on him. However, when the couple leaves in  the Mercedes-Benz with Henri Paul driving and   Trevor Rees-Jones in the passenger’s seat,  there are no paparazzi in the vicinity. Only a few minutes later, the chase is on.  The paparazzi are hot on their tail. Henri   Paul tries to lose them. They travel down the Rue  Cambon and make a sharp right onto Rue de Rivoli,   which is lined on both sides by boutiques  and colonnades. The Mercedes emerges at the   Place de la Concorde, and veers left, tires  burning against the road. Diana can now see   the Champs-Elysees and the Arc de Triomphe,  meaning they are almost at their destination.   But they still need to go a little further, and  the motorcycles of the paparazzi are handling   the fast turns and empty streets better than the  bulky Mercedes. Paul floors the accelerator as he   drives next to the Seine, hoping to put distance  between them and the leaches of the paparazzi. Paul is going well over the speed limit and  making incredibly dangerous decisions. It’s   almost as if his judgment is impaired. The  light up ahead turns red. The Mercedes comes   to a screeching halt. The paparazzi pull up  alongside the car and start snapping photos in   hopes of getting a glimpse of the couple through  the tinted windows. Before the light turns green,   Paul stomps on the accelerator, and the car zooms  off. The car’s back end swerves from side to side   due to the sudden influx of power from the engine.  The Mercedes continues down the Cours de la Reine   and then transfers to the Cours Albert 1st. Up  ahead is the brightly lit Pont de l'Alma tunnel. 12:23 a.m., seconds before Princess  Diana is in a fatal car crash. To avoid the congested roads around Place  de l’Alma, Paul decides to descend into   the 660-foot-long Pont de l'Alma tunnel.  The posted speed limit is 50 kilometers   per hour or around 30 miles per hour. The  black Mercedes carrying Diana and Dodi is   approaching the entranceway to the tunnel  between 3 and 4 times the speed limit. The   orange glow of the tunnel lights radiates out  of the entrance. Some speculate at this point   that Trevor Rees-Jones might have buckled  his seatbelt, which is against procedure   for the bodyguards. It’s not clear why he  would have done this. Perhaps he was afraid   for his life due to the way Paul was driving, or  perhaps he knew something that the rest didn’t. The paparazzi have fallen behind the speeding  Mercedes. The car enters the tunnel at around   100 miles per hour. The last thing bystanders  see before they hear a sound that will haunt   their dreams is a black blur disappearing into the  maw of the underpass. There is a slight dip in the   roadway as the lane swerves to the right and then  back to the left. The car clips a concrete pillar,   and Paul loses control. The sound of tires  screaming as they lock up from Paul slamming on   the brakes and skidding across the tunnel roadway  can be heard from the outside. This is followed   by a gut-wrenching crash that sounds like an  explosion as the front of the Mercedes slams into   a pillar, ricochets across the tunnel, flipping  at least once, hits the far wall, and slowly comes   to a stop in the middle of the road facing the  direction from which the car originally entered. As the paparazzi close the distance to the tunnel  entrance, there is an eerie stillness that is only   broken by the piercing sound of the Mercedes’ horn  blaring. The paparazzi proceed into the tunnel,   dodging debris that has fallen off the car and  skid to a stop. Rather than offering any kind   of help, most pull out their cameras and start  photographing the carnage. Paul slumps against the   steering wheel, his legs crushed by the mangled  front end of the car. Trevor Rees-Jones is passed   out in the front seat. His body is bruised,  and he has suffered several scrapes and gashes,   but he is alive. Diana and Dodi are still  in the back of the car; blood is everywhere. Henri Paul lies against the steering wheel, his  weight pressed against the car horn. Pieces of   the vehicle’s radiator are embedded in his chest.  Dr. Frederic Maillez is driving down the opposite   side of the tunnel when he spots the accident  with paparazzi crowded around it. He stops his   car and rushes over to see if there is anything  he can do. He pushes through the photographers and   looks into the automobile. It’s clear that Dodi  Fayed and Henri Paul are already dead. Trevor   Rees-Jones is breathing and stable. Diana is alive  but in critical condition. She struggles to speak,   trapped in the mangled car wreck. She  does not seem to know where she is as   she struggles to look around. Her breathing  is labored, and every time she inhales,   there is a wheezing sound as if blood  is filling her lungs. As Dr. Frederic   Maillez struggles to stabilize the princess,  the paparazzi continue to take photographs. 12:27 a.m.: 4 minutes after the accident. Emergency services receive their first  call about the accident in the Pont de   l'Alma tunnel. It takes police and firefighters  another 13 minutes to arrive at the scene. When   police officers get there, they notice that the  car’s speedometer is frozen at 196 kilometers   per hour or around 121 miles per hour. They make  note of this and indicate that this is the speed   at which Henri Paul entered the tunnel just  before striking the concrete pillar. However,   it’s later explained by a mechanic that when  the power to a Mercedes suddenly cuts off,   the dial on the speedometer will  either automatically jump to zero   or to its top speed. Therefore, wherever  the speedometer needle is pointing at this   moment in time is not an indication of how fast  the car was moving when the accident occurred. There is also a 53-foot skidmark from where the  Mercede’s breaks were engaged running along the   tunnel roadway. The police immediately arrest  7 photographers as they continue to snap photos   of the wreckage. They then confiscate any  cameras or phones that are still present at   the scene of the crash. But it doesn’t matter;  several paparazzi have already fled the area   and will be publishing their photographs in  the newspapers coming out later that morning. The firefighters carry a series of tools towards  the wreck to cut through the roof of the car and   gain access to Diana in the back seat. This is a  painstaking process. Paramedics try to keep her   stable as the dented and bent metal of the car is  removed piece by piece, but time is running out. 1:30 a.m.: 1 hour and 7  minutes after the accident. Medical personnel still aren’t able to stabilize  Diana. The roof of the car finally comes off,   and she is carefully transferred into the  ambulance on site. The ambulance emerges   from the tunnel with its lights flashing  and speeds towards the hospital. However,   protocol dictates that when Diana goes into  cardiac arrest, the paramedics should stop   the vehicle and treat her. This is exactly  what happens. Only minutes into the drive,   the ambulance swerves to the side of  the road so that the paramedics can   shock Diana with an Automated External  Defibrillator and conduct CPR. Diana’s   body begins to stabilize, and the ambulance  proceeds toward Pitié-Salpétrière Hospital. At 1:45 a.m. Michael Jay, Britain’s ambassador  to France, is notified that there has been an   accident and the former Princess is in  critical condition. The Queen’s private   security is informed, who then tells the  royal family of what has happened in Paris. 2:01 a.m.: 1 hour and 38  minutes after the accident. The ambulance’s sirens blare as it  approaches the emergency service   entrance to Pitié-Salpétrière Hospital. The  attending doctors have already been briefed   on the situation and wait outside to bring  Diana immediately into the operating room.   The ambulance slows to a stop. The back  doors fly open, and the gurney holding   Diana is lowered to the ground. She  is rushed inside and taken to surgery. The doctors find that she is bleeding heavily  from her chest and immediately get to work on   slowing the loss of blood. However, only moments  after entering the hospital, Diana goes into   cardiac arrest once again. Realizing that there  is something seriously wrong with Diana’s heart,   the surgeons examine her chest. They discover  she has suffered a puncture to her left   pulmonary vein, which is responsible for carrying  oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. Before they can have any hope of saving Diana,  the doctors need to repair the vein. This is   done as quickly as possible. Once they are  done, the doctors begin carrying out CPR   to try and revive Diana. They give her chest  compressions for 2 hours, first externally and   then directly to the heart itself. All of their  efforts fail. Diana’s body is just too far gone. 4:00 a.m.: 3 hours and 37  minutes after the accident. Diana, Princess of Wales, is declared dead.  She had just celebrated her 36 birthday only   a month before the accident. Dr. Bruno Riou, who  was in the operating room during the procedure,   speaks to the press about an hour after Diana  passes away. He informs the world that "Diana's   body arrived in a condition of serious hemorrhage  and shock.” And that: "an urgent surgery showed a   severe wound to the left pulmonary vein. Despite  the closure of this wound and the two-hour   external and internal cardiac massage, no official  respiratory circulation could be established." April 31, 1997, 6:00 p.m.: 15 hours  and 30 minutes after the accident. The world mourns the death of Princess Diana.  Many still followed her life just as closely as   when she was married to Prince Charles.  Hearts are broken across the globe as a   result of the tragic loss of one of the  most cherished and compassionate public   figures of the generation. But there is  also anger. Anger at the paparazzi for   the role they played in the accident and anger  towards the British Crown. Conspiracy theories   begin to arise. Many claim the death of  Princess Diana was no accident at all   but an orchestrated murder perpetrated  under the orders of the Royal Family. Prince Charles and Diana’s sisters, Lady Jane  Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale arrive   at Pitié-Salpétrière Hospital and accompany  Diana’s body back to England. Around 7:00 p.m.,   their plane lands on British soil, and Diana  is home once again. Her coffin is unloaded   from the plane and carried by a ceremonial  guard to the hearse waiting on the tarmac. September 1997: 5 months after the  accident that took Princess Diana’s life. On the 1st of September, French police  release information about the night   Princess Diana died. It’s found that Henrie  Paul, who had been driving the Mercedes,   had a blood-alcohol level that was around  3 times the legal limit in France. This   information shocks the world as it suggests  that the tragic death of Diana could have   been avoided if Dodi’s actual driver  had been behind the wheel that night. On September 2nd, the French State  formally opens a criminal inquiry   investigation under the pretense that the  7 photographers arrested at the crash are   also responsible for the accident  since Paul was trying to escape from   them that night. The photographers  are being charged with manslaughter. On September 6th, Princess Diana’s funeral is  held at Westminster Abbey. 2,000 people attend   Diana’s funeral. It’s estimated around 2.5 billion  people tuned into the live broadcast worldwide,   making Diana’s funeral one of the most  watched events in history. Following   the ceremony, Diana’s body is taken to  her family home at Althorp for burial,   the very same place where she met Prince Charles  20 years earlier, and her life changed forever. 3 days after the funeral, the French  investigation uncovers that Henri Paul had   also been on antidepressants. Both Prozac  and Tiapridal were found in his system,   which may have suggested he was taking medication  for alcohol withdrawals. It’s also concluded that   the mixing of antidepressants and alcohol likely  severely impaired Paul’s judgment that night. September 1999: 2 years and 5 months after  the accident that took Princess Diana’s life. The manslaughter charges against the paparazzi  are dropped. The court rules that Henri Paul   and his inebriated state were to blame for the  accident and the subsequent deaths of Diana,   Dodi, and himself. This brings a conclusion,  albeit an unsatisfying one, to the tragic   death of Princess Diana. However, many around the  world still believe there is more to the story,   including the British people and Mohamed  al-Fayed, the wealthy and powerful father of Dodi. June 2004: 7 years after the accident  that took Princess Diana’s life. Under pressure from the public, the British  government opens its own inquest into Diana’s   death. This will be the first public hearing  about the accident to be held on British soil.   Michael Burgess, the Royal coroner of Britain,  orders a prominent police officer by the name of   John Stevens to investigate if Princess Diana’s  death was the result of a plot against her and   if there were any other parties involved  who may have orchestrated the accident. On December 14th, 6 months after the investigation  in Britain begins, Stevens and his team concludes   that all evidence indicates there was no  conspiracy to assassinate any of the people   in the car in the early morning hours of April  31, 1997. Instead, the deaths of Princess Diana,   Dodi Fayed, and Henri Paul were the tragic result  of Paul being inebriated and driving recklessly. Unsatisfied with the results of the inquest,  Mohamed al-Fayed petitions the court to have the   inquest heard by a jury so that impartial citizens  outside of the government can be presented with   the evidence and come to their own conclusions.  Many in Britain and around the world still don’t   trust the British Monarchy and believe there  was a nefarious plot to have Diana killed as   her success and life made Prince Charles, and  by extension, the Royal Family, look poorly. On October 2nd. 2007, the inquest  begins with a jury listening to the   evidence as it’s presented. On February 17, 2008,   Mohamed al-Fayed directly blames the British  Royal Family for the death of his son and Diana. April 8, 2008: 11 years after the  accident that took Princess Diana’s life. During the proceedings, around 250  witnesses are called to testify in   the case against the Royal Family and to  get to the bottom of what really happened   in Paris the night that Diana and Dodi lost  their lives. After all evidence is presented,   the jury deliberates. They present their judgment  and conclude that the accident on April 31, 1997,   was caused by both the negligent driving of Henri  Paul and the swarm of paparazzi photographers   chasing the car through the streets of Paris. No  further arrests are made against the paparazzi.   The Royal Family is absolved of all involvement  in the death of Princess Diana. Even still,   many around the world still believe we  do not know the whole story and that the   British Crown somehow played a role in the  tragic ending to Princess Diana’s story.
