QUANTUM TIMES
they entered the car, paparazzi pursued them.
No one thought it would turn out to be what it
was. Just after midnight, the car spun out of
control in a tunnel. Fayed and the driver were
instantly killed. Medics arrived only in time to
take a fatally injured Princess to the hospital.
Diana later died in the hospital. The world
reacted quickly. Everyone around me was
horrified and angry. They blamed the
paparazzi, saying that this accident would
never have happened if the driver had not had
to avoid the crazy fans, but of course the real
blame lay on the driver. Evidence shows that
the driver was well over the legal alcohol limit
and could most likely have been the cause for
the accident. Then the people mourned greatly
for their princess, even those outside of
England mourned. Diana Spencer showed the
world that a princess’s life wasn’t all dresses
and riches, interviews and fans, the princess
was one of us, she had her own personal
struggles and hardships in life.
Diana Frances Spencer’s funeral was held on
September 6,1997, and the procession was led
by her sons, her brother, her ex-husband
Prince Charles, her ex-father-in-law Prince
Philip, and five representatives from each of
110 charities Diana had supported. Thousands
of people gathered in the streets to watch.
You might have thought that after the
funeral of their beloved princess, the world
would be silent and mournful. Yet,
investigations were immediately sent out to
21
discover the true cause of her death. The
ones leading this case immediately
questioned Mohammed al-Fayed, the father
of Diana’s companion “Dodi.” The British
Secret Service claimed a conspiracy that
Fayed attemted to murder the happy couple,
36
supposably to protect the royal family from
a scandal.
Diana influenced many people all around
the world. She sponsored many
organizations such as homelessness, AIDS,
leprosy, and cancer. Her struggles with
48
bulimia and depression were so publicly
displayed that many people became much
more aware about it. She was forever
remembered as the “People’s Princess”
I think we can all learn a lot from Princess
Diana, she was kind and generous royalty,
which in my opinion is very rare, as most
royalty care about money and fame. She
also was very open about her own personal
problems. This teaches us to be generous
and kind to everyone, even those below us.
If we shun someone below us, this just
proves that we are lower than them. I am
most impressed by Diana because she was
so fair and kind to all her people. This is why,
even to this day, Diana Frances Spencer will
be forever remembered in our world.
