Princess Diana died in Paris after incurring fatal injuries from a car crash on August 31, 1997. Diana was only 36 years old at the time of her death. She was buried at the Spencer Estate grounds in Althorp Park.

According to reports, the paparazzi followed the princess when the accident happened. During that time, Diana's driver was driving under the influence at a very high speed. He lost control over the car and crashed into a tunnel wall, further ramming into a pillar.

The princess was accompanied by Dodi Fayed and their bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones during the crash. Fayed and Paul were killed instantly, while Diana incurred fatal injuries. Emergency services rushed her to the hospital, but the princess could not survive.

She suffered a chest injury, a concussion, a broken arm, and a cut to her thigh from the crash. Her chest wounds were severe as her heart was displaced, and she suffered a tear in her pulmonary vein, causing internal bleeding.

The incident occurred only a year after her divorce from Charles was officiated. The couple separated in 1992, citing incompatibility.

Prince Charles succeeds as the king after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. His wife Camilla Parker-Bowles will become the Queen Consort, but internet users are not happy with it.

They blamed Camilla for Charles and Diana's divorce. Many praised the late princess and said they would recognize her as the queen.


Camilla belongs to an aristocratic family with close links to the royal family. In 1970, at 23, she met Charles, 11 years before the prince's first wedding in July 1981. The pair grew close but were separated due to Charles' eight months of naval duty. During that gap, Camilla married army officer Andrew Parker Bowles in 1973.

Camilla and Charles later reconnected around 1986. After their relationship came to light, Camilla separated from her husband and filed for divorce in January 1995.

They continued their relationship after Charles and Diana separated in 1996 and married in a civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall in 2005. Camilla and Charles do not have any kids together, but both have children from their respective previous marriages.

The incoming Queen Consort is the patron and president of more than 90 charities. She is a public speaker for variety of campaigns regarding s*xual violence and domestic abuse.
