Twenty-eight years after the passing of Princess Diana, the public still speculates about the exact cause that led to the tragic accident.

The truth is that ever since the world learned of her, Lady Di was under the spotlight. The paparazzi followed her every move, and according to many, pushed her to her death.

She lost her life after she and her partner Dodi Fayed, the son of Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed, her driver Henri Paul, and her bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones crashed the Mercedes in the Pont de I’Alma tunnel in Paris while trying to escape the paparazzi.

Xavier Gourmelon was one of the first responders who came to the scene after the tragic crash. He spoke of the day and revealed what the Princess’ final words were.

As reported by The Independent, Gourmelon said: “The car was in a mess and we just dealt with it like any road accident.

He then continued, “For me this was simply a banal traffic accident, one of many that emergency services have to deal with and it was the usual causes, speed and a drunk driver…

“I could see she had a slight injury to her right shoulder but, other than that, there was nothing significant. There was no blood on her at all. I held her hand and told her to be calm and keep still, I said I was there to help and reassured her.”
