On August 30, 1997, Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed were photographed leaving The Ritz-Carlton in Paris, just hours before the crash that would shock the world. Their relationship, which began circa summer 1997 aboard Mohamed Al-Fayed’s yacht in the Mediterranean, had captivated global attention. That night’s final journey from Place Vendôme toward Pont de l’Alma ended tragically, cementing Diana’s legacy as the “People’s Princess” and forever altering the course of modern royal history #fblife
