This week saw the marking of a quarter of a century since the world stopped on August 31, 1997, when a car crash killed Princess Diana, at just 36-years-old. Following her divorce from Prince Charles, the beloved icon’s life was tragically cut short when the limousine carrying her and her lover Dodi al-Fayed crashed in the Pont de L’Alma tunnel in Paris.
Millions globally mourned the “people’s princess”, who is often credited with transforming the way the British monarchy was perceived. Whether visiting rough sleepers at a hostel, spending time with those dying of Aids or calling on world leaders to act on landmines, Diana put her compassion and beliefs before her position and influenced her sons in the process.
Twenty-five years after her death, Princess Diana is a figure that seems to be ever-present and her legacy is still felt today, not just within the Royal Family, but around the world. To mark the 25th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, we want you to share your favourite memories and moments of the Princess of Wales.
