In 1997, Princess Diana was killed in horrific road crash in Paris, nearly three decades later Prince Harry and Meghan find new home in U.K. close to family residence of late mother, far away from Britain Royal family estate

On August 31, 1997, Princess of Wales Diana was killed after the car she was riding in crashed in Paris; her partner Dodi Fayed and driver Henri Paul also died. Princess Diana's shocking 1997 death in a Paris tunnel in a car speeding away from paparazzi sparked a public backlash in Britain that rocked the monarchy and the media.

After Diana was killed in a Paris car crash in August 1997, her brother Charles Spencer gave an emotional eulogy at her funeral in Westminster Abbey, London, vowing to always look out for her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. Thirty years on, Diana remains an iconic figure, but Harry and William, now heir to the UK throne, are no longer speaking amid a major rift in the royal family. And the husband Diana divorced is now the UK's King Charles III and married to his former mistress, Queen Camilla since 2005.
