NEW YORK POST: FROM AUG. 30, 1997

“DIANA IS DEAD,” read The Post’s headline as we reported: “Princess Diana was killed today in a horrific Paris car crash – a swift and tragic end for a queen of the people’s hearts. She was 36. Her new love, Dodi Fayed, 42, was also killed in the high-speed smash-up, which took place as their blue Mercedes was being chased by motorcycle-riding photographers. Diana – whose stunning beauty and quiet grace entranced her millions of admirers – succumbed to massive internal bleeding from chest and lung injuries at a Paris hospital. When her death was confirmed, the BBC played ‘God Save the Queen’ – a fitting tribute to a woman who once said she aspired to be ‘a queen in people’s hearts.'”
