On Aug. 31, 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a tragic car crash in a tunnel in Paris.
Also killed in the accident 25 years ago this week were her Egyptian-born companion, Dodi Fayed, and their driver, Henri Paul. Bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, the only one wearing a seat-belt, survived.
Their Mercedes was being chased by paparazzi and tests later showed Paul’s blood-alcohol level was triple the legal limit for driving. Diana’s sudden death at age 36 unleashed an outpouring of stunned grief around the world, culminating in a televised funeral at Westminster Abbey that was watched by millions. These are the archived news pages about the death that appeared in the Calgary Herald on the two days following the accident.
