Diana, the Princess of Wales's death on August 31, 1997 in a car crash in Paris sent shockwaves around the world. In the seven days between her death and her funeral, an estimated 60 million bunches of flowers were left outside the likes of Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace in her memory.
Diana died from her injuries at the Pitié-Salpêtrière University Hospital after doctors worked tirelessly to try and save her. After her death, The Prince of Wales and Diana's two sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes flew out to Paris to bring her body home. However, the decision to bring Prince William and Prince Harry's mother home on a royal flight was something that allegedly provoked a debate between Prince Charles and The Queen.
