“Every strong woman in history has had to walk down a similar path.  

It’s the strength that causes the fear. Why is she strong? Where does she get it from?  Where is she taking it? Where is she going to use it?

I’ll fight till the end.” - Princess Diana

Diana’s very sudden, tragic, untimely death rocked the world and the monarchy to its core. It’s such a milestone event that people still remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. How could Princess Diana die in a car accident in a Paris tunnel on August 31, 1997? 

​

What happened that fateful night changed the world forever.

Never seen before – the last dress Diana tried on during a fitting with designer Jacques Azagury the day she left for Paris in August 1997. The pins are still pinned on the back straps, awaiting Diana’s return for one last fitting; however, sadly, she didn’t make it.
