The tragic car crash that led to Princess Diana’s death on August 31, 1997, shocked the world and has since been surrounded by numerous conspiracy theories. One prevalent theory suggests that another vehicle collided with the car carrying Diana, leading to the fatal accident in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris.

According to the official French investigation concluded in 1999, the crash was ruled an accident, attributed to driver Henri Paul’s intoxication and speeding as he attempted to escape the pursuing paparazzi. The investigation found no concrete evidence indicating another vehicle directly caused the crash. However, this conclusion did not quell public interest, as many believe additional factors contributed to the tragedy.

Some witnesses have claimed that a white Fiat Uno was seen at the crash scene and might have played a role by colliding with Diana’s car. This theory suggested that the vehicle might have been a critical element in the crash. However, follow-up investigations, including “Operation Paget” conducted by British police, did not find definitive evidence linking this Fiat Uno to the crash in a meaningful way.

Additionally, paparazzi who arrived at the crash scene shortly after the accident faced intense criticism for their actions, as many were accused of photographing the scene rather than assisting the victims. Despite the scrutiny, no evidence links these photographers to causing the crash directly. They were, however, part of the tragic scene, adding to the overall controversy surrounding the events of that night.

In summary, while theories and witness claims about another vehicle’s involvement continue to circulate, official investigations have not confirmed these suspicions. The loss of Princess Diana remains a painful memory, with unanswered questions lingering for many, but the evidence points to a tragic accident rather than deliberate foul play.

At the age of 60, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, the older sister of the late Princess Diana, recently broke down in an emotional interview, publicly confirming rumors that have circulated for decades about her family’s relationships and her sister’s tumultuous life. During a candid conversation that left viewers teary-eyed, Sarah revealed key details that shed new light on the complex dynamics within the royal family and Diana’s personal relationships.

In an emotional moment, Sarah shared how she and her sister navigated the challenges of their high-profile family life, explaining that while their relationship had always been supportive, there were often moments of tension, particularly surrounding Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles. Sarah, who was deeply involved in the early days of Diana’s romance with Charles, admitted to feeling an overwhelming sense of responsibility during those early years.

One of the most significant revelations came when Sarah confirmed a long-standing rumor that she had played a key role in introducing her sister to Prince Charles. While Diana’s relationship with Charles was widely publicized and marked by both romance and controversy, Sarah’s admission offered a personal insight into how the relationship began and how the family interacted behind closed doors. Although their marriage ended in a highly publicized divorce, Sarah maintained that she had no regrets about their connection, stating that she was happy for her sister when Diana began dating Charles.

Tears flowed as Sarah discussed the deep emotional turmoil that Diana faced during her marriage. She shared that Diana struggled privately with the pressures of royal life, a burden that she had to carry despite her public role as the “People’s Princess.” Sarah’s tears highlighted the immense love and concern she had for her sister, who tragically passed away in a car accident in 1997.

Another poignant moment in the interview came when Sarah addressed the rumors surrounding Diana’s struggles with mental health. While the media often portrayed Diana as a figure of grace and resilience, Sarah confirmed that her sister faced significant personal challenges. She spoke of how Diana sought privacy and support from close family members, including herself, while grappling with the emotional weight of being constantly in the spotlight.

As she confirmed the rumors surrounding her sister’s marriage and mental health struggles, Sarah expressed her pride in Diana’s legacy and her contribution to the royal family, despite the adversities she faced. She fondly remembered Diana’s compassion and commitment to charity work, which continues to inspire millions around the world.

While the interview was emotionally charged, it was clear that Sarah felt a sense of relief in finally addressing the long-standing questions about Diana’s life. By opening up about her sister’s struggles, Sarah not only honored Diana’s memory but also gave the public a deeper understanding of the complexities that defined her sister’s life in the royal spotlight.

This emotional revelation from Sarah McCorquodale has certainly left the world reflecting on the untold stories of Princess Diana and the remarkable family ties that shaped her life, offering a glimpse into the private world of the royal family, which had long been shrouded in secrecy.

Princess Diana wasn’t known as “The People’s Princess” because it was a nice nickname for her to have.

No, through her charitable work and warmth, she became an important person for the British people to lean on and be inspired by in tough times. As she famously once said, she didn’t wish to be the Queen on paper, but rather the Queen in people’s hearts.

The tragic accident in Paris that caused her death is one of the most shocking events in modern British history. Yet still to this day, Princess Diana’s legacy lives on, not only through her sons William and Harry, but most importantly, in people’s hearts. 

We’ve seen plenty of amazing photos of Diana over the years – but there are other pictures that haven’t been nearly so widely circulated.

That doesn’t make them any less amazing, though …

Princess Diana died far too young, and her life was complicated by all manner of trials and tribulations. Sadly, she was followed around everywhere she went and endured a troubled private life once she joined the royal family.

Princess Diana – raising Harry & William

Despite it all, though, Diana was a loving mother. She always made sure to put William and Harry first – the mother-of-two wanted her children to have a childhood that was as normal as possible.

Princess Diana often took William and Harry to theme parks and other fun venues. Of course, she knew what royal life entailed, including the fact that they had meals served to them at all times, and were expected to behave like proper, royal children.

Yet she was also aware of the importance of William and Harry getting the chance to be like any other child. With this in mind, she would sneak them out of the palace to go and get fast food on occasion.

“I remember the princess came into the kitchen one day and said, ‘Cancel lunch for the boys, I’m taking them out, we’re going to McDonald’s,” Diana’s former personal chef Darren McGrady told Marie Claire.

“And I said, ‘Oh my God – your Royal Highness, I can do that, I can do burgers.’ And she said, ‘No, it’s the toy they want.’”

William and Harry naturally loved spending time with their mother. She raised them to feel like they were just like any other children, which in many ways, they were!

Not long ago, Prince William also revealed his Diana’s car routine, and it shows that she and her boys, in many ways, were just like any other ordinary family.

According to William, he often listens to Tina Turner to keep many memories of his mother, Princess Diana, alive. William said that the song The Best reminds him of childhood, and how his mother would play the song in the car to help him with his nerves.

“When I was younger, Harry and I, we were at boarding school. My mother used to play all sorts of songs to kind of while away the anxiety of going back to school,” Prince William said.

“And one of the songs I massively remember and has stuck with me all this time, and I still, to this day, still quite enjoy secretly, is Tina Turner’s ‘The Best’ because sitting in the backseat, singing away, it felt like a real family moment.

“My mother, she’d be driving along, singing at the top of her voice. And we’d even get the policeman in the car; he’d be occasionally singing along as well.”

The future king added: “You’d be singing and listening to the music right the way out into the gates of school when they dropped you off. When I listen to it now, it takes me back to those car rides and brings back lots of memories of my mother.”

Diana always endeavored to be the best mom possible and knew that brothers could and would fight with one another from time to time.

Wanted her sons to always be best friends

Royal historian Robert Lacey once revealed details about Harry and William’s childhood, and how their mother wanted the two brothers to make her a significant promise.

In his book Battle of Brothers, Lacey writes about the bond William and Harry developed through their early childhood and teenage years. Princess Diana was keen on them remaining close throughout their lives – she wanted the boys to promise they’d always remain “best friends.”

In the book, Lacey quotes psychic Simone Simmons, who used to consult Diana.

“You must promise me that you will always be each other’s best friends,” Simmons claimed Diana told her sons. “And never let anyone come between you.”

“Both boys promised they would keep to that,” Simmons recalled. “They high-fived each other and gave their mother a big cuddle.

“‘Anybody would have melted at the sight,” she said. “Then they went out to play soccer.”

From the beginning, it was clear that royal life wasn’t the end of the world for Diana. Her children always took priority, and she wanted to protect them from whatever might come between them.

That even included the Royal Family itself – Diana was reportedly worried that the Queen and Charles were plotting to separate her from her children.

William & Harry unveiled statue of their mother

William and Harry may have made Diana the aforementioned promise, but their relationship has been rather bad in recent years, beginning with Harry’s decision to leave the Royal Family in 2020.

A year ago, on what would’ve been Diana’s 60th birthday, William and Harry reunited to unveil a new statue of their late mother. The sculpture, cast in bronze, of Diana surrounded by three children, was placed in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace, her former home in London.

“Today, on what would have been our mother’s 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength, and character – qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better,” William and Harry said in a joint statement.

“Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy.”

This year marked the 25th anniversary of Princess Diana’s passing. William and Harry made sure to honor their beloved mother, but the two brothers did it separately.

According to a royal source who spoke to People Magazine, William spent the day quietly with his wife, Kate Middleton, in Windsor.

Ahead of the anniversary on August 31, Harry spoke about his mother, saying he hoped to make her proud.

Princess Diana – Charles affair with Camilla

“I want it to be a day filled with memories of her incredible work and love for the way she did it,” Harry said on the anniversary. “I want it to be a day to share the spirit of my mum with my family, with my children, who I wish could have met her. Every day, I hope to do her proud.”

Besides leading an extremely public life, Diana had personal issues like any other person. For the Princess, one of the biggest problems involved her husband, then-Prince Charles.

Just years after his wedding to Diana, Charles engaged in an affair with Camilla, who would later become his wife.

According to Prince Charles’ authorized biography, as quoted by Town & Country, their affair started in 1986. Charles was still married to Princess Diana at that time, and she found out about it.

In 1989, Diana confronted Camilla over the affair, telling her to back off.

“I know what’s going on between you and Charles and I just want you to know that,” Camilla recalled Diana saying, as quoted by Town & Country.

“[Diana] said to me: ‘You’ve got everything you ever wanted. You’ve got all the men in the world falling in love with you and you’ve got two beautiful children, what more do you want?’”

“So I said, ‘I want my husband.’ And I said, ‘I’m sorry I’m in the way and it must be hell for both of you. But I do know what’s going on. Don’t treat me like an idiot,’” Diana said, as per Camilla.

The Queen broke royal protocol at Diana’s funeral

In the public’s perspective, things continued as normal, but it didn’t take long before Charles and Diana’s fairytale life was history. In 1992, the couple announced their separation, though both continued with their official royal duties. Four years later, in August of 1996, they reached a final agreement for the divorce.

Besides getting a generous settlement, Diana was given the right to retain her apartment at Kensington Palace and her “Princess of Wales” title. However, she agreed to give up her title of “Royal Highness,” as well as any future claim to the throne.

The passing of Diana was a shock to the entire nation and the world. Her funeral was held on September 6, 1997, in Westminster Abbey before she was buried at her family home of Althorp Park.

Princess Diana’s funeral had more than 2000 guests in attendance. Her coffin was drawn through London after the ceremony, where the British people had the chance to give their beloved Princess a last farewell.

Interestingly, the Queen was never required to bow her head to anyone. At Diana’s funeral, though, she breached royal protocol, bowing to the late Princess’s coffin as it passed her on a gun carriage. It was the only time Queen Elizabeth broke that royal rule.

Rare photos of Princess Diana

For large parts of her royal life, Diana was hounded by the paparazzi press; it’s not a stretch to say that Diana became the most photographed person in the world at the time.

In short, everybody wanted their little piece of Diana. So, according to The Guardian, tabloids were offering up to $500,000 for grainy pictures of her.

Her sons, William and Harry, saw both sides of how the press treated their mother. Harry said he wanted to leave the Royal Family in his early 20s, partly due to how he witnessed his mother being treated before her death.

“Look what it did to my mum, how am I ever going to settle down and have a wife and a family when I know that it’s going to happen again,” Harry explained. “I don’t want to be part of this.”

That said, many iconic pictures of Princess Diana were taken over the years. Sure, some of them were taken by the paparazzi, desperate to sell photos of her. But there are also pictures that show great warmth and give us a stunning look at Diana’s life and career.

A look through the archives offers hundreds of never-before-seen pictures of the beloved late Princess. We’ve compiled some of them in a bid to show a side of Diana that has rarely been seen.

Diana became something of a style icon at the height of her fame, and she took that with her to the slopes while skiing.

Skiing trips, sunbathing & humanitarian work

Below we see Diana on a skiing trip to Austria with her sons, Harry and William. This picture was taken as Harry had turned nine years old. He sure is adorable – and the whole family looks stunning!

In 1990, Diana and the children – alongside her sister’s children – went to Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands. Virgin’s Richard Branson owned the island.

Dian sure knew how to have fun. Look at this beautiful picture of when she and Harry visited the amusement park Thorpe Park, in 1992.

Diana was often referred to as “The People’s Princess”. She participated in many humanitarian efforts, setting an excellent standard for how a kind and compassionate person should behave. Here, Princess Diana is seen visiting an Orthopedic workshop in Luanda, Angola, sitting with victims of land mines.

We can go on and on about these beautiful pictures of Diana. This one was taken in 1971, when she was on a summer holiday in Itchenor, West Sussex.

The clothing brand Barbour is still a favorite among royals, but perhaps Princess Diana wore it best.

Diana loved Barbour, and during a visit to the Outer Hebrides in Scotland in 985, it was a perfect time to sport her Barbour-style waxed cotton jacket

Jayne Fincher, a royal photographer who took some of Princess Diana’s most iconic shots, followed the royal couple everywhere. She had chartered a plane to get out to the Outer Hebrides, where Charles and Diana were on an official visit.

“When I caught up,” says Fincher, “Charles said, ‘Where have you been?’”

The Outer Hebrides are exposed to the extremes of wind and rain, and Princess Diana got to experience some of that during her visit there in 1985.

But she looks terrific in the photos from the trip, and photographer Jayne realized one thing after checking the negatives.

“You don’t see Diana dressed like that very often. She looked so happy. It was pouring rain, but her makeup was perfect and un-smudged. I looked a mess, as usual,” she said.

The photo below was taken during Diana’s last summer alive. She is seen with her boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed on a boat in St. Tropez, France, jumping into the water.

In a powerful and emotional statement, Prince William has reportedly opened up about his late mother Princess Diana’s tragic death, claiming to know the person behind the car accident that took her life. According to sources, William tearfully admitted that he has long harbored knowledge of the individual who allegedly orchestrated the circumstances leading to the fatal crash. However, he expressed a painful restraint, explaining that he is unable to publicly expose this person, which has left both the royal family and the public stunned.

Princess Diana’s death in 1997 remains a point of intrigue and speculation, with numerous theories arising over the years regarding the true cause of the accident in Paris. While official investigations concluded that the crash was a tragic result of reckless driving by the chauffeur and the relentless pursuit by paparazzi, conspiracy theories have persisted, with some believing there was a hidden agenda behind Diana’s untimely demise. Now, William’s alleged remarks suggest that he may have personal insights into what happened that night, hinting at unresolved feelings that he has been carrying since his mother’s death.

Prince William reportedly became emotional as he spoke about this mysterious figure whom he believes played a role in Diana’s fate. He is said to have struggled with the desire for justice for his mother while feeling restrained by factors that prevent him from going public. These confessions have raised questions about royal protocols and the burdens that come with being in the public eye. Many have speculated that this reluctance to reveal the individual’s identity may be tied to maintaining stability within the royal family or preventing additional turmoil.

The news of William’s revelation has drawn an outpouring of sympathy and support from the public, who have long admired Diana and empathized with the challenges her sons faced in the aftermath of her death. Supporters have taken to social media to express their heartbreak over William’s predicament, with many rallying behind him and Prince Harry for their strength and resilience over the years.

This candid admission has also reignited public interest in Diana’s legacy and the lingering questions surrounding her passing. While William may never feel at liberty to reveal all that he knows, his words have added a new layer of depth to the mystery of Diana’s death. The world continues to mourn her loss and now sympathizes more deeply with the heavy burdens carried by her children, who have sought to honor her legacy despite the many challenges they face.

Brooklyn Beckham has addressed the criticism that ‘nepo babies’ often face. The eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham, 25, has been accused on several occasions of leveraging nepotism to advance his career.

However, the aspiring chef, hot sauce brand owner, entrepreneur and photographer has set the record straight. After his recent feature on the cover of Grazia magazine, he told the publication: “Obviously I am one. But I couldn’t help how I was born, at all.”

While he acknowledges why the public might be annoyed by ‘nepo babies’, Brooklyn said he tries to disregard the ‘rubbish’ people say rather than dwell on it. He added: “There’s always going to be people that say rubbish.

“But as long as you do something that makes you happy and you’re kind to people, that’s all that matters. I’m always gonna get it, no matter what I do. And I’m fine with that.

“It makes me work harder, because I’m like, I’m gonna prove these people wrong.”

Brooklyn has been in the spotlight since the day he was born, following the path of his famous parents Posh and Becks. Last month, the former model announced the launch of his new hot sauce brand.

Brooklyn married Nicola Peltz, an actress and model by profession, in April 2022. She first became known in the entertainment industry due to her family. Her mother Claudia Heffner is a renowned model and her brother Will Peltz is an actor.

David Beckham is coming to Singapore for a closed-door event on June 17, 2022 hosted by Adidas.

He is set to appear at the Adidas Singapore Brand Centre Orchard from 4.15pm to 5.30pm.

However, those who are inclined to try their luck by showing up at the venue to catch a glimpse of their footballing hero in the flesh, can forget about it.

No public meet-and-greet

A day before the event, Adidas took to social media on June 16 to deter members of the public from showing up at Orchard as there is no meet-and-greet, public-facing session planned.

The Adidas Singapore Brand Centre Orchard is located across the road from Paragon and Ngee Ann City.

The Instagram Story by @adidassg read:

Please avoid coming to the adidas Brand Centre Orchard unless you’ve won passes to the ‘We Got This 2.0’ talk show on 17 June! This is to help ensure your safety and those of event attendees.

The post also told audiences to stay tuned to the Adidas social media channels for event highlights.

Whether this public service announcement will establish the deterrence intended or have the exact opposite effect, will be known in a day.

Previous visits

Manchester United alumni have been frequently spotted casually doing things in Singapore.

Beckham, who has been to Singapore multiple times, was spotted at the hawker centre, food court, and clubs.

Ryan Giggs and Nicky Butt were in Singapore in December 2021 dining at Tangs Market.

In case you didn’t know, football superstar David Beckham was in town.

He flew down to Singapore for a closed-door event at the Adidas Singapore Brand Centre Orchard on Jun. 17.

The event was attended by local personalities like Jade Rasif, Christabel Chua and Ikhsan Fandi.

Even though it was a closed-door event, a huge crowd flocked outside the outlet to catch a glimpse of Beckham.

And it seems like the former England national footballer left quite the impression on many Singaporeans, including Jade.

Floored by Beckham

In an Instagram post by Jade on Jun. 18, she shared several nice things Beckham had done after the event.

For one, the celebrity was seen helping to move furniture as the staff was clearing the stage.

“When it was time to clear the stage, David saw the staff lifting the chairs to clear the stage. I noticed he left the line up, and when I turned around I realised he was helping the staff move the furniture.”

Although there was no meet-and-greet session, Jade added that Beckham went out of his way and walked outside the outlet to greet fans who had been waiting outside and thank them for their support.

Humble man

Jade also shared that she and Chua knew that the world-famous soccer player was tired, and so they “did not want to impose by asking him for photos”.

However, Beckham apparently went out of his holding room to look for them, gave them the “warmest hugs” and had a chat before he rushed off for his next appointment.

She ended her post by saying that Beckham is “the personification of my favourite quote, ‘Work hard, stay humble.’”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Create Tension for Prince William Following His Monarchy Plans Revelation

 

Prince William has been advised to proceed with caution as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem set to regroup with the royal family.

The Prince of Wales recently shared his vision for his future reign, emphasizing a greater focus on philanthropic initiatives. His comments, which outlined a shift toward charitable projects, raised some eyebrows across the royal circle.

Following this statement, King Charles honored artists from the UK’s film and TV community with a reception at Buckingham Palace, accompanied by his wife, Queen Camilla. The monarch later made a solo appearance at the royal premiere of the Hollywood blockbuster *Gladiator II*.

However, royal historian Dr. Tessa Dunlop raised concerns about the absence of other royal family members at such events, suggesting that this could be a sign of the former working royals, including Harry and Meghan, potentially returning to the fold.

In an interview with *The Mirror*, Dr. Dunlop remarked, “He was up against Gladiatorial men—squaring up to Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal is no mean feat—but the King looked inescapably alone on the red carpet at Leicester Square last night. There was no retro glamour, no tinsel, no tiaras.”

She continued, commenting on the absence of Queen Camilla, who was unable to attend due to a chest infection. “To compensate, I longed for the King to wear an ermine gown, or pop a crown on his head. Instead, he dutifully made his way down the line of stellar names.”

Dr. Dunlop also reflected on a more glamorous time, recalling the royal family’s appearance at the *No Time to Die* premiere, where Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton graced the red carpet in stunning designer dresses.

“The Royal Family’s absence from these events creates a vacuum,” she said. “And the problem with vacuums is that they invite all sorts of unwanted intruders.”

While she praised William’s vision for a more understated, modern monarchy, Dr. Dunlop warned that the royal family must be cautious. “They might think they’re above such glitzy gimmicks, but that would be a mistake. After all, standing in the wings are ex-royals, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”

As tensions rise, the question remains whether Harry and Meghan’s potential return could challenge Prince William’s evolving approach to the monarchy.

King Charles recently expressed his emotion at one of Queen Camilla’s latest projects.

King Charles was left emotional after Queen Camilla’s recent move – so much so that he even shed a few tears.

The royal couple hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace for some of the most prominent figures working in TV and film. While talking to some TV producers, he made an emotional confession.

Queen Camilla made a landmark documentary on the source of domestic abuse, which made King Charles emotional as he hosted the event to celebrate the centenary of the Film and TV Charity.

British actor, Damian Lewis, told the King he had watched his wife’s documentary on ITV and that he had been moved by it.

“It’s very moving, isn’t it?” Charles said, according to The Mirror. “I think BAFTA are interested in it.”

Chatting to two of the makers of the Queen’s programme, Kerene Barefield and Naveed Chowdhary-Flatt from Love Monday Productions, Charles said: “I was moved to tears.” when he watched a preview of it in Scotland. He added: “I really am very proud.”

Queen Camilla talked animatedly with actress Emily Mortimer about her mother Penelope, whom she knows personally.

“Penny sends her love,” Mortimer told her. When Her Majesty enquired about how she was, the actress laughed and said: “Oh, she’s still smoking as much as ever.”

“Oh she’s still on the fags!” laughed the Queen. “Yes she’s still on the fags!” giggled Mortimer.

Speaking to legendary director Sir Ridley Scott about his new blockbuster film Gladiator II, Camilla gave her apologies for not attending the premiere in London later that evening due to her recovery from a chest infection.

She said: “I am so sorry I’m not coming tonight. I’d be coughing throughout it.” The director clasped his hands and told her not to worry at all. The Queen said she had felt “absolutely rotten” last week but was definitely “on the mend”.

Many other esteemed figures in the film industry attended the event. Others attendees included British actor Henry Golding – who told the King how nice it was to be “back on British soil” after after living in LA for 17 years – Emily in Paris star Lucian Laviscount, Mo Gilligan, Claudia Winkleman, India Amarteifio, who played young Queen Charlotte in the Bridgestone spin off, and director Gurinder Chadha.

The King is Patron of the Film and TV Charity, succeeding Queen Elizabeth II, who had held the patronage since 1952.

Founded in 1924, to help people working in the screen industries to overcome a spectrum of personal and professional challenges, today it continues to offer counselling and support with mental health, legal, and financial advice.

Celebrating those who work within the television and film industry in the UK, their Majesties met guests including directors, actors, TV presenters, stunt performers and costume designers.

There was even an opportunity to view a number of costumes and items from films including Titanic (1997), Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003), and the late Dame

CEO of the Film and TV Charity, Marcus Ryder, said: “In a film you don’t even see the tip of the iceberg. You see the snow that covers the tip of the iceberg. And we have to realise we have to support all the people who make the magic.

“It’s incumbent on us to celebrate and support them. Many of the industry are freelance with little job security. They deserve our support.”
