Princess Diana's tragic death at age 36 on August 31, 1997 has stayed fresh in many fans' minds, even after all these years. Many investigations have been launched into the night and the final moments of the storied royal's life. According to the BBC, Princess Diana was fatally injured in a Paris car crash that happened as her driver was trying to flee a horde of paparazzi chasing them into a tunnel.
As much as the world has mourned the death of Princess Diana, no one has been as affected by her fatal car accident in 1997 as her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.

Princess Diana's statue has been unveiled in Kensington Palace's Sunken Garden on July 1, on what would have been her 60th birthday.

More than 20 years later, the world is still mourning the shocking death of Princess Diana, who was only 37 years old at the time of the fatal car crash in Paris in 1997.

Richard Kay, Diana's final phone call and a close personal friend, revealed in a new documentary what had been at the top of her to-do list.
