We’re approaching the 25th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death in a horrific car crash at the entrance to the Pont de l’Alma tunnel, when the paparazzi were pursuing Diana’s car and Diana’s driver, Henri Paul, crashed into a wall.

The 36-year-old Princess of Wales was arguably the most famous and most photographed woman in the world in 1997, and her story has been told again and again and again—and we’ll no doubt see an avalanche of retrospectives in the coming weeks.
