Death of Princess Diana

The car accident of "the people's princess" was awful for the entire world. Many Americans followed her life and the life of British Royalty, and were crushed by her death. The car accident was due to the incessant paparazzi as she was traveling. As the paparazzi followed her, the chauffeur sped up and crashed into a wall, killing all of them.

Many people blame the paparazzi for the incident, and her death brought up the topic of how to control the media and add limitations. The crash happened in Paris, and blamed on the driver Henri Paul who lost control of the Mercedes due to intoxication with alcohol and prescription drugs.

Flowers were left outside of Kensington palace in tribute of Diana,real tons of them because of her general popularity. At her funeral, 11,000 light bulbs were turned off in mourning. She was so loved because she broke the rules and standards as the Princess of Whales. She was continuously watched by Americans who loved keeping up with the royal family.

  1. The death of Prince Diana is something that not only had impacted Britain but also something that had affected the world, especially United States. I think the cause of her and the car chase to get away from the paparazzi is something that could've been preventable if the media and the world wasn't obsessed with the Princess's everyday moves. According to History.com, "Diana is buried on a small island surrounded by a lake at Althorp, her family’s ancestral estate in Northamptonshire, England." Princess Diana's openness of her private life and closeness to the people definitely impacted the sheer size of people who attended her funeral, the legacy that she left to the world was that she will always be the people's princess.
