According to a former reporter of the BBC, the report of the death of Princess Diana of was complicated by "false eyewitnesses". Fake witnesses lied that they saw the princess alive after the accident. 24 years ago, the 36-year-old Princess of Wales died of injuries in a car accident. At that time, Princess Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed were driving home from a restaurant in Paris. The driver lost control of the car in the Alma Bridge tunnel and had a car accident. Fayed and the Mercedes-Benz driver Henry Paul were declared dead on the spot, while the princess's bodyguard Trevor Reese-Jones was seriously injured but survived the car accident.
The statue of the Princess of Wales in the garden of Kensington Palace was commissioned and unveiled by her sons Prince William and Prince Harry in honor of Princess Diana. When the accident happened, Prince William and Prince Harry were only 15 and 12 years old. Blessers will be allowed to visit this statue to commemorate Princess Di, although due to the epidemic, the public can usually only visit this statue from Wednesday to Sunday.
Diana's death caused unprecedented emotional vent in the UK and the world. Thousands of flowers were placed in her home at Kensington Palace as a tribute, and some reports said that about 2.5 billion people watched her funeral. Former BBC reporter Kevin Connolly was one of the first reporters to rush to the scene to report. He said that the chaotic process of understanding the cause of Princess Diana's death was made more complicated by the claims of "fake witnesses."
Connolly told the "Daily Express": "In Paris, the truth of the matter is only revealed very slowly. There is a false witness that complicates the situation. Some people called to claim that after the accident. I saw Diana.” Connolly added that the French authorities have also downplayed the seriousness of the situation. He said: "The initial news from the police and the hospital was,'Yes, this is Princess Diana. Yes, she is injured.'" Reasonable,But that night, the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. The news of the death of the Princess of Wales slowly spread to reporters, and was finally confirmed by Buckingham Palace. Veteran reporter Connolly said that his report on Diana's death was the most memorable moment in his career.
He added: In my working life, people ask me the most about this. "I have reported on the fall of the Berlin Wall at , but few people ask me about these things. People are still fascinated by Princess Diana. By the way, this strange light has been extinguished so shockingly, nothing Warning. I think if she dies of a certain disease, our memory of her will be different, or the trauma will be less."
