The British heir to the throne, Prince Charles, brought Princess Diana home for the last time on Sunday, escorting the body of his former bride back to a shocked and grieving nation.
The princess was killed when her car, pursued by paparazzi photographers, crashed in a Paris traffic tunnel in the early hours of Sunday.
The grim-faced prince and the flag-draped coffin were flown in from France to a Royal Air Force base outside London, just 16 hours after Princess Diana succumbed to her fatal injuries.
The coffin bearing the body of Princess Diana, who was killed in a fatal car crash in Paris, was flown back home to Britain on Sunday night.
The nation's leaders, including Prime Minister Tony Blair, were at the Northolt Air Force base for a sombre ceremony marking the nation's tragic loss.
The Prince of Wales had flown to Paris on Sunday afternoon with Diana's two sisters, Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale, to bring back the remains of the woman he divorced last year after 15 years of marriage.
Diana died from injuries suffered when her automobile, pursued by paparazzi photographers, crashed in a Paris traffic tunnel.
The accident also claimed the lives of the 36-year-old princess's boyfriend, millionaire film producer Dodi Fayed, and their chauffeur.
The couple's bodyguard survived the crash. he's in hospital and doctors say his injuries are not life-threatening.
After the jet bearing Princess Diana's body landed under grey skies at the Northolt air base, a Royal Air Force honour guard carried the coffin, draped in the multicolored Royal Standard, to a waiting hearse.
Seven photographers who were detained immediately after the crash, which occurred in a tunnel at the Pont de l'Alma, just north of the Eiffel Tower, were placed in formal custody on Sunday afternoon.
French police said the accident investigation would be handled by a special unit usually assigned to high-priority terrorism cases.
Diana often had complained of being plagued by the paparazzi - the commercial photographers who had trailed her since she entered the public eye as a shy young woman.
Following the honour guard ceremony at the air force base, Princess Diana's grieving sisters accompanied her coffin back to London and to a private mortuary.
Prince Charles reboarded the plane following the ceremony and flew on to Balmoral, to comfort his two grieving sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.

All these years and it still breaks my heart 💔. She was such a beautiful, graceful lady.
Yeah and prince Charles is so stubborn to cheat on her with camilla. Diana was such a nice woman, but everything fell apart bcoz of him.
She's in a better place now
true
Mine too....I still feel like crying when I see this.....
Yes Diana s unfair death proves that God dorys not exist !...
The best thing that came out of the royal family. She lives on in her sons.
For luxery life
Diana will live in infamy in our hearts. So many years later and I still get teary eyed.
@@ladypaul7932 do you know what infamy means?
Every time I watch this, it brings tears to my eyes, because I lived in London at the time and know how profoundly and deeply people felt Diana's loss... It will never go away....RIP... Queen of the hearts
I was thinking while watching this that all these years have passed and I still cry....I've never been to London but please know our hearts break as Diana was the world's Princess!! Such a horrible loss for the world!!
Yeah me too. Its so sad. She helped so many people. RIP Queen of Hearts!
Charles accompanied the body because she is the mother of his boys and she is the mother of a future monarch
A real decent and honourable thing he did. Real gentleman.
But I still think that he is a bit stubborn. That's bcoz he cheated on her with camilla. Diana is such a nice woman, many men on earth during that time would die to marry her. Charles is the lucky one but blew it away. RIP Diana, your legacy lives on in your son.

Yep the day b4 she was banging with dodi
@@yahyakrisna2358 are you a nut or something,
It’s been two decades ago since Princess Diana’s tragic death but it’s still bringing tears in to my eyes, She was a beauty and grace as we all remembered her.
Queen of hearts. Her Royal highness. The mother of future king. Farewell.
Diana lost the HRH title, she was no longer married so wasn't entitled to it
Everyone remembers where they were the day Diana died. Still makes me sad.
I will never forget hearing of her passing. So shocking and terribly sad.
I was at home having a cup of tea when I heard it and a few hours later me and my daughter were on our way to Kensington palace to put some flowers down.x😰
I wasn't even born yet, but this is extremely sad.
@@colinaskey3733 same here
I was 2 when it happened
Diana was British treasure. Now the country's heritage.
Her name's brining the money...still
Gone but never forgotten
@@brettanymichellelawson-top5197... Harry and Williams are the most famous Prince, because of their mom.
after all these years, i still cry when i see documentaries of Diana, she was not only a gift to Britain but to the whole world. what a beautiful wonderful special human being she was and absolutely gorgeous in every sense of the word.
this scene is still heartbreaking and unbelievable 20 years later :(
Now 22years later....
@@thepinkyprincesspoetc.a.5767 bf
Yeaj
The most heartbreaking😪 ever so far and now 23yrs. later. The funeral service and the 3 caskets of Shannan Rzucek and her 2 little girls in North Carolina 2018.😞😪
@@dahlialady4131 that was a terrible tragedy. damn that chris watts to hell and back🤬🤬
2019 August - this (still ) breaks my heart... so sad .. 💔
It was unreal then and still is 25 years later. Unbelievable.
It was very decent from Charles to bring Diana home. A gesture of reconciliation with her as parents of the boys then. Very touching.
She was too good for them!
I really felt for the boys back then. Especially little Harry. Diana would be proud of both her boys for the men that they’ve become .
This was a sad day the world over. If I live to be 100, I shall *never* forget! Rest in peace sweet lady ♥️
I cried after seeing this. I wasnt born when this happened but my mom always talked about Lady Diana. Diana is a very beautiful angel, god bless her always❤
My daughter and I will never forget the people's princess, Diana.
Goodbye princes diana ...remember you always 💓🙏
This proved the people hold the power this was probably the only time where whole Uk was actually untied and made queen break so many protocols
United
Apart from the flag, what protocols were broken?
It's Altamash i'm British and not the whole of the UK felt the same, it was appalling, there were Adults
saying our Queen should be in London with them, NO SHE SHOULDN'T! her grandsons needed her
and demanding that the Union Jack be flown above Buckingham Palace was ridiculous
the only flag that was ever flown above Buckingham Palace has been the Royal Standard
to show when the Monarch is in residence
Diana was not even royal when she died
Nobody talking about that super smooth landing? That was butter.
I noticed that
I keep watching Lady Diana's documentaries..my mind knows but my heart doesn't believe she is no-more...such a beautiful, lively, lovely, graceful, human being she was!!
That frog didn’t deserve her
So correct
Ikr
The only good thing that came out of the marriage of Prince Charles & Princess Diana is their sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.
@@maryhlad5277 True that
He deserved better than a woman who took ten lovers during her marriage but ranted and raved about his one love!
Such a very "tough" day for Jane and Sarah to fly to Paris (with Charles) and then help dress and prepare Dianna's body before then having to make the return journey. I am sure that their mother would have appreciated the love and care that they gave their baby sister.
dont be silly. she was prepared by undertakers
She had already been bathed, hair washed and styled, and made up, then dressed in a borrowed dress. Dodi's father had already had all her possessions flown back to Lonsdale.
Oh my I nvr saw the coffin being delivered before...I was a 17/18yo child then, damn this is heart wrenching...so sad! You can see #PrinceCharles' agony too...God bless them all
The unforgettable Diana the Queen of Heart..RIP God Loves You 😇🙏❤🌹
The World knows it was no "Accident"
Agreed
Oh definitely.
Not an ounce that I even have an idea of "accident" it's more like a way high class people shut people's mouth
Yes
Easier to believe in fantasy than the truth I guess?
Still a Princess in our minds and lives on in our hearts.
Diana was never a Princess, hers was only a courtesy title, she wasn't a Princess by birth
I will never forget this moment. It was horrendous. X
Rumour is that the young princes were on board that flight to Paris to accompany their mother home and then flew back to Balmoral with their father...but did not exit the aircraft. After all these years it is still terribly sad.
I hope they were not. It would have been too much to ask of those children.
@@Jelly-hq7ug but walking behind their mother's coffin in front of thousands and thousands fo people through the streets of London is not??
@@nuriaroach-casares6923 oh so you're saying they should have done that plus go and collect the body? What's the point here? 🤔
@@Jelly-hq7ug my point being, out of the two options, surely a private moment onboard a flight shared by few over a public one shared by millions is better for a grieving child.
no they were not on the plane
Still brings me to tears.
Hasta siempre adorable princesa Diana 💌
Our Princess coming home.🇬🇧❤⚘
I was working at RAF Northolt on a massive RAF Network program in 97 when her body arrived at the airfield....so so sad
Dirty royals had her killed. I will always believe that. I still miss her.
Diana's Elder Brother In Law Was Queen's Private Secretary , Remember
One Of Working Closed Queen's
and?
The beauty of my eye lady Diana 🙂☺️
LOL! Charles did this collecting of her body because he didn't want to appear as the aweful Husband he had been depicted to the press, nothing more. Even the Queen felt it wasn't their responsibilty after all she was no longer Royal! Even her Statement to the people was forced from Tony Blair the Prime minister. Not because they wanted too, or because they felt they should, it was out of fear the Monarchy might crumble if they didn't respond! People in the streets were angry that even in death Diana was still treated like trash! She represented the British people as far as the world was concern. And the Monarchy just couldn't stand the attention was off of them. As they say Karma has a way of coming back to bite you, I await that moment for them. People loving someone other then their Queen! Diana just wanted to be loved. She didn't care by whom, she had hoped her Husband Charles would love her. But she deserved to be happy, and not critized for not meeting Royal traditions. And maybe if you could've not chose her for just bearing children, and actually loved her she would've been everything she wanted to be for the house of Windsor!
Yow. So wrong. To many look at this as some kind of plot. It is not. The Princess died in a car crash. Full stop. No murder, no plot, it was an accident. Full stop people. I thing after all this time, give it up. You do not know more than those investigating, really? Fine tooth comb. People will always second guess and think they know better. That is what they want. So, of course they think they are right. Not being there, not seeing what happened.
@@MsShoosh1 no you have zero clue Diana wrote thing's about her husband plotting to kill her, in a car crash. We believe her, over anyone else.
@@PatriciaWalton Well said Patricia. Such a waste of a life. Diana will never be forgotten.x She will always be our Queen of Hearts.x
@@MsShoosh1 yeah shoosh!
I read that Charles over ruled the Queen. He knew what had to be done and was thinking of his sons. I had the same thing happen with my estranged late husband. He was the father of my son. My feelings for my husband did not matter in that time of crisis. Those that have children know.
"I promise to love and comfort you, honour and keep you, and forsaking all others, I will be yours alone as long as we both shall live."
... I wonder what happened to the "forsaking all others" bit?
You would think that Diana's Mother might have tripped up to see her Daughter being brought home, but no, she sent the cavalry, wonder what Charles was thinking that day, he's so closed off to emotions and feelings. I remember Liz and Phil came back from being away for 6 months in Africa or somewhere, Charles was about Three or Four. As the train arrived, Liz got out and shook hands with this tiny weeny child, her Son, this was in the late 50s or so,I thought what's that about, he never changed, insular, guarded and cold, just like his mum. Diana knew she would die in a car crash, how did she know, and Charlie boy married Camilla, that was a bad day for me and millions of other people. Princess Grace, Sarah Fergusons Mother, they died in car crashes too, how ironic. Feel so sorry for Mohammed Fayad, and would could have been.
Looks like Charlie was having a laugh and joke with Blair.the man has no feelings and is the biggest Hippocrate I have ever known
Anybody else miss somebody. They never knew personally or ever met?
I miss England’s Rose like she was my mother.
if Charles only had loved Diana ....this would never happend 😢
We don't know that, maybe with love between them, marriage would colapse
A very sad day indeed
A beauty and a beauty inside as well
Очень жалко принцессу Диану. Очень жалко... и даже сейчас, спустя много лет очень жалко.
charles was never upset or showed any emotion when diana died.. that should tell you something
that is nonsense. he looked very grieved and upset when he went to Paris.
Charles had to take care of her to make everything look good because I really honestly believe that the British monarch arrangement her death and I honestly believe that it was a set up for a lot of reasons in the tooth is just now coming out and that’s why Camilla knows so much and is asking for so much money in her divorce it’s turning into a Chaotic nightmare the saddest part is that the boys are going to find out the truth
kirsten sainz wait?!? He’s getting divorced again. You’re right he did. She is the mother of a future monarch
Oh please. After investigations by France, Britain, and the US (and I still can’t figure out why the US got involved) not to mention a million or so journalists, you still think the Queen or the Government had anything to do with her death? Why would they want to kill her? Diana wasn’t going to marry Dodi and even if she was, so? She was involved with that doctor for years and the Royal Family didn’t care. Diana (nor Charles, for that matter) was not the legal guardian of the boys, the Queen was. Diana wasn’t likely to leave England for good without the boys and she couldn’t take them if she did . And she knew that. Actually they probably would have been thrilled if she’d married again because they wouldn’t have had to keep paying her and watching her manipulate the press. Diana did a lot of good things but she also had a lot of issues and she did use the press for her own purposes.
The US was involved because our president at that time had Princess Diana’s phone bugged. It was over the land mines. That’s how the US got involved. I don’t know for sure what happened that night nor does anyone else who wasn’t involved. But when someone, anyone, tells people that they are going to be killed and how it will happen and then it happens I think you have to go with murder. She told at least 3 people what was going to happen.
She died because of a drunk driver going at a high rate of speed. Ask why they didn’t stay where they were?
@@suekelley2109... Well not to many wronged People will stay passive. Diana was very Young and she found her way to retallied.
Rest In Pieces Princess Diana you always Remember
Gone too soon a real tragedy if it only could have been different for her. So sad
He got two sons out of it and Diana got fame, money, clothes, cars, palaces and a Royal connection.
R.I.P Lady Diana 🌹🌹🌹
25 years later, and it is still so unbelievable.
😪😓
This event stopped the world to take a look at who really is Princess Diana.
I was in gradeschool, and idk her. I was so young inside the classroom, the news broke out. I was like. A princess died? So there exists princesses? Mom told me she is a beautiful woman.
Bonsoir je suis désolée de m exprimer en Français, mais mon Anglais n est pas assez correct,, la mort de Lady Diana à été un choc terrible pour les Français, j étais à Paris je n ai pas cessé de pleurer,ce jour là, nous avons été nombreux à déposer des fleurs, quel jour horrible!! Bien sur le prince Charles,est venu récupérer le corps cela était normal,décent, pour les petits princes, ,il a semblé ému,,,il a peut être mesuré, combien,la pauvreDiana avait souffert par sa faute,,à ce moment précis,,,,,la Princesse Diana à été la victime,de cet horrible mariage, ou ils étaient trois,,,,la Reine n a pas été à la hauteur de cet événement tragique,et à montré de l indifférence, ,ce qui m a beaucoup choquée. Pauvre Lady Diana,sacrifiée,,elle manque à l humanité,,,ces 2 magnifiques fils,ne l oublient pas,,William et Harry,,,et comme elle serait heureuse des adorables petits enfants, qu' elle repose en paix,,,et si elle a été volontairement,tuée,,,que ses assassins soient punis par Dieu,car la justice n a rien prouvé,,,
I was 2 years old, I remember watching the news when I heard about the tragedy...
🥺😓😭 Hermosa Diana! 🌹
🇬🇧PRINCESS DIANA was our Princess too, of all the world. I'm not BRITISH. ♥️She is a very very good lady. ♥️She loves all people of all religion, or differente culture...♥️She is not rascist. You miss us BEAUTY PRINCESS PEOPLE.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
What time did the shift go?
after all these it still breaks my heart to see this and i still cant believe she is dead but she is
I will allways be thankfull to Charles to go and fetch princess Dianas body. Her last flight with the father of her children. Never thought its going to end up this way. She will allways be remembered as the queen of peoples hearts. Just cant get over her! Its to difficult!! Will allways ĺove and remember her even shes no more!!! 🤴🤴🤴🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤
Yes
Queen of hearts
Him and the queen are so guilty... Can't stand either of them, they did this, wake up people....
Amen!
I actually thought it would have been Prince Philip
I read that the Queen was adamant at first that nobody from the Royal family pick up Diana's body, as she was no longer a member of the family. (Never mind Diana was the mother of a future King). The Queen was adamant to such a point that one of her aides asked, "Ma'am, would you rather she come back in a Harrod's van?". That was the one and only time that Prince Charles stood up to his mother and insisted that he would be the the one to bring Diana's body home. Odd, isn't it, that in death Charles showed Diana more love and respect than in her life. If he had, maybe they would never have divorced, and Diana would still be with us, and how she would just LOVE her grandchildren! But she is no longer with us, and Charles gets to enjoy his grandchildren. That is SO unfair to Diana, and it makes me angry when I see Charles and Camilla enjoying the good life.
Princess Diana brought a modern style for the royal family, I suppose Kate has some very small similar qualities, she needs a tiara.
Our princess rest in peace we love you thank you for the love you gave
Diana levantaba muchas envidias por el don de gentes y el aura de buena persona que transmitía, era humana sencilla y alegre...cosa que otras personas de su familia política no transmiten
It’s sad to see this 😢
What make of vehicle is that Royal hearse? It's not a Rolls or a Bentley, is it? I'm usually good making all car kinds, American and foreign. But I can't this one!
Daimler Jag 420 based
Rest in peace DIana. We love you xxx
I remember the night the news came over that she was in a serious accident and had broken her arm ...I knew she had died ...later on the news announced her death
Same. I heard it on the radio on the way from work that she was in car crash and broke her arm. Later I heard Dodi died. I had the gut wrenching feeling she going to pass.
Just still and will always be very sad a moment in history.
So much respect 💔
Painful moment
2 years, 8 months and 3 years before i was born
🌷🥀🥀🌷😓
At least here they carried her straight and above their shoulders
Thank you
Charles was not a flawless husband. But he was devastated when she passed. He may not have been in love with her. But he did love her. They developed a friendship after some time. And they were co-parenting. And despite his mistakes as a husband, he's been a good father.
Muito triste rever estes momentos. 😥
So sad
May Princess Jasmine forever rest in peace British family can't hurt you no more lady
ZERO RESPECT FOR CHARLES. HIS Fault!
Mary Aliece Hope more like the paparazzi
@@vjamison2 I agree.
I understand the paparazzi, but too much has come out about how Charles despised her. Sorry, but I cant overcome that.
Diana is a whore!
@@julianchua6643 you are SO WRONG...
Die Welt stand still , als Diana im Sarg aus dem Krankenhaus getragen wurde, völlig unfaßbar , denn keiner weiß die Stunde...
So much respect ✊
Off topic: this is the weirdest looking passenger plane i ever saw and it is beyond me why such a small jet needs 4 engines like the giants Boeing 747 and Airbus A380.
So sad. She was supposed to be on a flight that day but it was meant to be her retuning bk to the UK to see her boys hug them instead she flew bk in a coffin never getting to see her boys again 😭 Nearly 26yrs on its just as devasting!
Elle restera dans nos cœurs à jamais 🙏🙏🙏
We shared the same birthdate! A Lady, after mine on 💖 heart of hearts
One Sister constantly holding her mouth to keep her screams of shock and grief inside her.
Wow
Charles look sad but May be inside him is happiness
... I had read that he was genuinely devastated. No one wants anybody death.
So sad. Thought it odd though that her ExHusband would collect her body And NOT Lord Spencer. as Head of the Spencer Family Was it I wonder because of there Son's
dont be silly. Charles Spencer was in S AFrica nad could not get to Paris immediately. So Charles escorted the 2 sisters
Cat de nefericita a fost frumoasa,superba si inegalabila printesa Diana.......😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤
We will never know the real reason as long as her sons are alive. So many theories. Only God knows.
People slam Charles for how he treated Diana during their marriage, and rightfully so, but legally, he didn't have to go to France and bring her body home. They were divorced, so it was her family's responsibility. However, out of respect and because she was the mother of his children, he went. Which says a lot. Neither of them was blameless in the dissolution of their marriage, and I think people forget that. She screwed around as much as he did. At the end of the day though, he still loved her (in whatever way he could love her), and did what he felt was morally right even if legally it wasn't his job.
Pauvre diana elle ne méritais pas de mourrir une si belle femme simple d ,une gentillesse toujours le sourire et ses pauvres enfants mourrir comme ca 😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤🌷🌷
Today is her death anniversary,may her soul rest in peace .
He should have never been allowed to go and bring her back. He didn't respect her from day one let along in her death. It is because of him she is dead. Had he been a husband to her and not screwing around with the ugliest woman possible she would have been in the Palace not being followed by paparazzi. It would have been a palace driver...not some drunk rental car driver.
i've thought the same thing over the years. if sh had been in a happy marriage with a husband that loved her, she wouldn't have been in that tunnel that night. she would have been with charles and their boys at balmoral.
She is dead because she got into a car with a drunk driver who was speeding through a tunnel and wasn't wearing her seatbelt!
@@lisabradford8180 if she had worn her seat belt and used her PPOs, she would be alive
Es aprendido que nada tiene valor, ni dinero, belleza, rango, juventud etcétera , porque la vida depende de las manos en quién esté para ser duradera. Es muy triste.
VIOLEUR,DIANA.
Such a sad homecoming. At least the reception and pallbearers were more gentle and respectful then the ones in Paris.
