#1

Father Yves Clochard-Bossuet, who had worked for Air France until he joined the priesthood just five years earlier, had been trying to come to terms with that realization for hours. When he was called to the hospital, he thought someone was playing a joke.

#2

Father Clochard-Bossuet, who had been sent to administer the Last Rites to Diana, was a Roman Catholic priest. The decision to have him do so raised eyebrows back in England. Diana was a Protestant, and her son William would one day be the titular head of the Anglican Church.

#3

Father Clochard-Bossuet, the priest who had been with Diana at the hospital, prayed for her soul. It would be the last time he gave anyone the Last Rites.

#4

The body was kept cool with a air conditioner, and the nurses made sure to keep it that way. The body was not embalmed, and every effort was made to make it presentable to the many dignitaries who would come to pay their respects.

#5

The couple from the funeral home applied lipstick and styled and restyled Diana’s hair to match the photo in Paris Match. They had nothing to dress her in, except for a single gold earring. The Queen wanted the Royal Family’s jewelry returned, but there was none.

#6

The hunt for a suitable dress continued for nearly two hours. Finally, Sylvia Jay, the wife of Ambassador Jay, offered one of her own. The dress came down just below the knee, had long sleeves, and was belted at the waist.

#7

Burrell was Diana’s rock, the only person she could trust. He was devastated when he saw her, and began to cry. The other visitors were overwhelmed and kept saying it was impossible.

#8

The funeral procession was to leave the hospital via the main entrance, but media outlets reported that the paparazzi were to blame for the crash. The crowd outside the hospital shouted Bastards! assassins! murderers! at the pool of six reporters and six photographers allowed in.

#9

The British Royal Squadron BAe 146 carrying Charles and Diana’s sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, landed at Villacoublay at 5 P. M. The trio emerged from the car, and Charles wore a double-breasted dark blue suit. He and his sisters-in-law bowed their heads in prayer.

#10

Charles was extremely kind and caring towards Diana’s sisters. He stayed with them for half an hour, asking them questions about the circumstances surrounding Diana’s arrival at the hospital and how she was treated.

#11

The Princess’s body was carried down the main staircase by four pallbearers hired by the funeral home. The casket was draped with the royal standard, which had accompanied the Prince of Wales’s party on the plane.

#1

Diana had a difficult childhood, and was always unwanted. She grew up in a cocoon of wealth and privilege, which she later came to believe was due to her being protected by her paternal grandmother, Countess Spencer.
