20 years ago today i was an 8 year old who saw my mum cry for the first time, she loved Princess Diana .
kay brown lmao
Don't understand why that is funny. My mum met her at a charity event in 1995.
Don't worry, he's probably one of those 12 year olds who doesn't even understand.
My mom loved her too
kay marich Just ignore that comment, the rest of us are.
I was 16 when this news broke. I cried like a baby. The world mourned.
Jennifer McMillian not everyone
I was born a year later
No one died no one got hurt
Jennifer McMillian she died on my birthday
The world has it's own problems. A death is always sad, but we are programmed not to really care outside of our circle.
I was 21 and in downtown Toronto with a few friends. We were walking down the street and saw a crowd of people in front of a window of TVs all playing the news. People were crying. A homeless woman told me Diana had died in a car accident. We cried together - I tried to buy her dinner but she wouldn't let me and opted for a tube of hand cream and a hug. I'll never forget that. The fact that a woman who was struggling so terribly was still devastated that Princess Diana had died. The power of her presence in the world was staggering.
The news would have been announced around 11pm Toronto time. Did they just leave TVs running all night in that window?
@@JimDownWell Yep. 24hrs a day that was on. We were downtown by the Eaton Center. It was the end of summer - places were always lit up at all hours.
@@SandiByrd no wonder television’s are so expensive then. Leaving them on all night, they have to recoup the energy bills somehow - namely, from the customer.
But surely, with numerous sets on, in a big department store all night, there must be some sizeable risk of electrical fires.
@@oleggorky906 Yea I guess. I have no idea - that's just how it was back in the day. I don't hang out downtown much anymore so I'm not sure how it looks these days late at night/early morn.
@@SandiByrd No worries. I only thought on after I posted, I expect that nowadays they just automatically switch onto standby mode after a while, anyway! 🤣🤣
The best people always pass away too soon
aly only the good die young
aly
She wasn't one of the best people
She did not pass away, she was assassinated!
aly They certainly do. I’m expecting to go imminently.
True
The whole world grieved , I still cry to this day
@@iamthe1whowillbringpeace316 creep
Why?
Bit weird
Grow up, Diana was an overrated clothes horse.
I don’t
I will never forget how someone I never met broke my heart the day she died !
Oh for crying out loud.

I remember watching itvs announcement of her passing when I was 4 years old. It was really a devastating moment. My dad took me to a hillside where I was able to throw flowers amongst other mourners whilst her hearse drove by. I remember him commenting on how it was such a shame to even die that young. He was the same age as her and sadly passed away himself a year later.
Sending much love
🥺😢🫡💕💕💕
Sorry for your loss
My condolences 🙏
I'm so sorry your dad passed away so soon
My own mother had succumbed to ovarian cancer, 2 days prior to Princess Diana's untimely departure... I was totally crushed. Absolutely devastated.
I was only 11 years old, but I remember my mother (a Filipino housewife of a farmer in rural South Australia) was very saddened when hearing the news. This goes to show the impact Princess Diana had, that a lady from such a demographic and location could still be touched by Diana's passing. It really speaks volumes of the influence of Diana and the legacy of her kind nature.
I was returning home from a wedding when the news broke. I was 20. I slide down the wall and listened to the news in sheer horror and disbelief. It's still haunting to this day. That woman was such a lovely creature and powerful force. The world shifted that day😔🕊
I remember sitting at home late in the evening when the news came on about Diana's accident. I was so upset and stayed up several hours watching the different news reports, people were unclear about what her condition was, and I finally went to bed when she had arrived at the hospital. The next morning I woke up and went to get the morning paper in my driveway. I looked down at it, and I could see the headline that Diana had died. I broke down sobbing right there in the middle of the driveway. The day of her funeral, I stayed all day in the bedroom watching her funeral and sobbing. I've never broken down over someone I've never met, until Diana. Her death tore me up completely.
😢
Rip English Rose still can't believe it's been 20 years. The people's princess forever more xxx
25 years now
Most popular royal ever probably
So true, she was and will still be the peoples princess always ❤
Not my princess
What a shame ! Wish she was here to see her sons weddings and births of her grandchildren
MIKILI MAKAMBO I keep thinking the same thing with the birth of each of her grandchildren and now Harry's wedding. She was a beautiful person. 😇
Ree McLaughlin indeed she was wonderful woman
After all this time i still think of Diana and wish she could still be here and be able to have seen her sons grow up and now her grandchildren
If she were here, her sons wouldn’t be royalty. They would have abandoned the thrown like their mother did. They were probably beat and tortured after Diana’s death to keep them in line.
Lumber Todd your grammar skills are non-existent.
I was 6 years old, I remember my family being extremely shocked about the news and I remember being scared everytime my mom drove through a tunnel. It's a grief that will still forever.
I was 10 years old. I'm from South Africa. My mother cried when she heard the news. Princess Diana was the same age as my mum. Still a huge loss
I was 12 years old and had just lost my grandfather in a car accident a month prior when this happened. Candle in the Wind, the version for Diana always take me back to that sad time. I never think of her loss without thinking of my sweet grandfather too.
I was a teenager and l still feel what l fell at that time. I burst in tears.
I was 8, I lived in Peru, and I cried, I was so sad and so was my mom. That’s how much impact she had all over the world.
My brother and I were up early while my parents were still in bed and I remember seeing the headline on teletext. I had no idea who she was, but a princess dying seemed exciting so my brother and I ran into my parents room to tell them. I remember being shocked at my mother's reaction when she shot up in bed and made me repeat it, then was just baffled why my parents were taking this so seriously. I understand more now I'm older, of course.
I was at my girlfriend's house when the news reported it here in the States. She was pretty upset but one of my best friends was devastated. She's captivated by the royal family. My wife, who was my girlfriend at the time, and I just arranged for my lifelong friend to get an original video of the Queen's coronation.
I was a 7 year old girl in Brazil when heard the news coming back from a trip in the coutryside and I remembered society being shocked like no other royal event did. Yes, this woman hit every corner in the world.
Still gives me chills
I was 21 when this happened... I'm now 45 and those words still go through me like a knife. Shocking.
To be fair to Kay Burley, she stayed composed in making this devastating announcement. I remember watching the news on Irish TV and a news reader was in tears.
Because she’s a heartless robot
@@gazman6536was about to comment the same till I saw yours
Who knows... she might have cried right after she delivered the news. Journalists are taught to be objective and emotionless during these moments.
I bet she loved every minute of it.
I was stationed in Turkey and on vacation in Alanya when a merchant told us Diana was gone. Disbelief, grief, tears, tears, tears. The world paused upon her death. A true tragedy.
I am from Turkey as well my mother cried so hard when she saw the news. Princess suffered so much in the royal family.
Remember this as a five-year-old. Was up early and my dad was watching the news and he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Then Mum woke up and came down and he told her. Tragic incident.
Was no accident
@@zack3706 any proof?
@@DRM1891 do a lot of research
@@marieadams8895 research into what?
I was in Marine Corps basic training as an American in San Diego, California. I read about the news in the September 7th, 1997 Sunday edition of the USA Today in the days that followed. I was absolutely shocked. I literally had just been in training for a week...the Sunday before she, Henri Paul and Dodi El Fayed were killed. It made what I was going through feel a little bit heavier...like the world is going on and something as earth shattering as Princess Diana dying not being something I knew about for a week...it really made the isolation hit home.
I was 7-years old walking into my mother’s room as she cried at the foot of her bed. I had never seen my mother cry over a celebrity or someone she didn’t know nor have I seen her do so since
I still can't believe it. I love her so much
I remember this like it was yesterday. A beautiful lady with a beautiful heart. R.I.P Princess Diana
I was a few months old when Diana died. As I grew up, I learned more about her and I loved her personality. She was a really beautiful woman and a great mother. Rest in peace to the Queen we would've had.
She would never have been queen though. She wasn't even a Royal at the time of her death. She remained 'Princess' Diana purely out of admiration for all the good charity work she did and how much the public loved her.
I don't know why good people die so quickly??!!!😭😭
The world doesn’t deserve to have good people like her, and Paul Walker as another example, to walk on it. 😢
They think they're too good to wear seatbelts?
@@andriylashchyk8007 Cite? She was the only one not wearing one.
@@lucykirkham1647 Paul Walker was a pido. Not a good guy
Because there are people who envy them and therefore do not wish them well.
I’m only 13, even so, it still brings a tear to my eye
She died 4 days before I was born/brought into this world on Thursday, September 4th, 1997. R.I.P, Princess Diana.
Who’s here after Queen Elizabeth’s death?
The flowers at Diana's death outnumbered the Queen's by tens of thousands...
“Princess Diana has in fact been in killed in that car accident”. Anyone who watched this back then must have been really shocked at hearing those words. RIP Diana ❤️
We were shocked. And we didn't believe it was an accident.
@@naillijseer I was born in 2002 so I don't know the full story but from what I've heard I have to believe that it might be possible it wasn't an accident. Not planned by the royal family though. But then again, I don't think it is right for me to think that as she seemed such a lovely woman and was adored by the whole country and I don't want to feel like I am insulting her memory by think it is possible someone wanted her dead.
I cried a lot when that happened. I still remember me leaning on the front door and crying. I was 11 years old. I loved her so much. I really miss her
That was the day I knew she existed, since then I been fascinated about royals. I do know everything about any royal family since early years, it’s like a hobby for me. I cried so much and didn’t even knew of her before
the way she trailed off at the end, when she kinda sighed and said 'diana, princess of wales, is dead"
“Princess of Wales is dead” as if she hasn’t made that clear, she had to break more hearts saying that.
I was 6 and in Paris at the time with my Dad. I remember getting a book about her for Christmas the year before. So very sad.
Remember being up late at night as usual and watching the breaking news of the car crash and the announcement. Still stunning 25 years on.
I was 5 year old and we had a party in the house with relatives when the news came out I still remember when everything stopped to watch the news and the sadness on everyone’s face :(
Toronto resident here. I was 30 at the time. My Mom and I watched live tv reports, until this announcement and than both of us sobbed like an immediate family member had passed. I loved and admired this woman. This was just awful; I’m tearing up as I type this…😢
I can’t image the state of the world after this. I was born when Princess Margaret passed away.
I replay this again and again
I remember being 5 and my teacher broke down crying. I didn’t understand then but now I get it
It's a bit late.

Died about a hundred years ago
Great song by Queen. Ironically on the News of the World album, named after a paper that constantly had Diana in it!
This was recorded in 1997 and he uploaded it in 2017
xentoro plays it was a joke...
RIP Diana 1961-1997
May god rest your soul
Rip Her Majesty Queen 🥺 Elizabeth 2
I remember being ten, just starting fifth grade and both Princess Diana and Mother Theresa dying in the same month. Watching William and Harry walk behind their mothers casket killed me. I felt so bad for them.
Anyone old enough will surely remember what we’re doing on that exact day. It’s always a sudden tragedy that sticks with us and makes us remember.
Clement Lee I don’t remember.
I was lying in, in my flat in London, when my Mother rang to say Diana was dead. The week which followed in London was the most surreal period I can ever recall. We were all in a trance.
Yep. I was 22 and raving in London in Vauxhall. A stranger came up to me and said ‘dodi is dead and Diana injured’! I then got back from the club at about 8am, turned the TV on and reporters talking about Diana in the past tense. A big come down from partying! Phone my mum back home to tell her to turn the TV on. Was really strange travelling back out of London that day.
I remember thinking this didn’t feel real. I was a young teen. We stayed up all night in New York watching the news. My older sisters were sobbing.
Loads of unexplained things about that night
I was 3 when this happened but I know my mom cried
I was 14 when she died and i was heartbroken
How she looked into the camera when she said "Diana princess of Wales, is dead" is so terrifying
I remember watching Princess Diana’s funeral with my mom when I was six. It’s funny how we all remember this, no matter how young we were
I was 7. My mom cried. She liked her so much 😢❤️
she was 1 years older then I am. And I was gutted when this happened. Was glued to the television the entire week and it really felt like I lost someone I knew and loved.
I was 20 at the time, staying up way too late when at about 1am the news broke on TV. I ran upstairs to tell my parents. My mother went back to sleep but my father got up and we both watched the news for hours together until dawn broke.
I remember this. I was fourteen at the time. I talked to my mom and she said that she used up an entire box of tissues in an hour crying. She came from Belgium and she said she remembered stopping on the train in London and this man gave her this doll which she lost on the train. I wish that she hadn't lost it because I would have loved to have had it. But anyway, I remember when this happened and it was a shock even at such a young age. May she rest in peace.
me, 21, who never met or lived at the same time as diana, still loved her the very moment i knew about her. crying each time i see something abt her death or laughing every time where i see her iconic moments or how real she was as a mother.
I'll never forget, I cried so much, felt like a close family member had died. Never in my life have I come across a person like Diana. RiP.
No one died full hexcraft it lives at Windsor as a man to this day its David
2020 and still couldn't believe. 💔
Same here 😥💔
@@ann-mariebaker118 hays 😔
I was 3. I just about remember seeing the BBC coverage on TV as my mum and dad were watching
I dont remember vividly but rather vaguely. I was just 3.I watched in the television with my family. Oh Diana..... Our Princess.
I remember the newscasters all crying that day.
😔😔💔. Remember this like yesterday smh 😫🙏🏽
My heart still breaks to this day.
Wow this makes me want to cry all over again...
this news never gets easy. Such a great Lady
i was on a golfing weekend with friends at bransford golf club when my brother woke me up to tell me that diana had been killed,we spent lots of the early hours watching tv news reports about the accident{aggregate intimidation/murder} of the Princess by papparazzi, the following day the weather was unbelievably bad and our last round was rained off.our return home on the motorway was so sureal as all the radioi stations were just playing a sad mix of instrumental songs,very very sad day i will never ever forget it.R.I.P Diana a stunning person & peoples champion
And now Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has died.
I was 4 when she died but when I was a teenager in 2007 when I was watching the news about the 10th anniversary ofher death my mom told me all about Princess Di. I started to read everything I could about her. The world is still mourning
Beautiful lady x x :/ rip Angel
I think everyone remembers where they were when this tragic news broke. I was 18 and lying on my parents sofa with tonsillitis. I turned on the tv and thought this was some very bad prank, until I realised she had in fact died. Watching Harry’s wedding recently, Diana would have been so very proud of her boy!
Rip❤
I was young when she died. What a beautiful lady.
The worst day! I was in a state of shock and shaking! I blacked out! Then I broke down at work and we all cried together! RIP
I was 13 years old at the time and I was in Ghana on holiday and my sister, my mum and I wept like a baby. We were getting ready to go on a road trip and I didn't want to get into the car, the accident freaked me out, I was scared something might happen to us. 25 years later the Queen has died and I am in Ghana again.
I don't think there ever was or has been someone that was as universally loved as princess diana. I was only 3 when this happened so don't remember the fallout of it all but my mum still talks about it whenever diana is mentioned on TV
So sad that Diana had her life cut short by such terrible events . She will always be missed. RIP English Rose 🌹
I still remember that day , hello from Miami , FL
I was ten when this happened. On holiday.
Princess Diana is my most loved person, to this day and until the day I die.
I remeber the day of her funeral I was like 6 years old and we were watching her funeral on TV. RIP.
I’m crying now :/
Lady Diana forever ❤
Princess of people’s heart
**murdered
Jessica Ayo YES!
Why?
Prove it.
Matthew Diana would have been a ‘disgrace’ to the royal family if she had married an Egyptian man who was a Muslim. No matter how many people adored her, the royal family killed her.
Lauryn-Kassadee Cornwell that doesn't make sense. Are they going to kill Harry for marrying an American now?
I was 16 years of age at the time. It was afternoon in Australia. I was in my room when my brother came up and said, "Princess Diana has died". I ran downstairs and looked at the TV, and it was live footage of the wreckage of her car being removed from the tunnel. I went outside to tell my dad who was at his car. He'd heard it on the radio, and he didn't seem to care.
haha well that ended unexpectedly.
I was 14 with a group of friends, our car died and we were waiting on the sidewalk for the tow truck. I got a yet from my mom saying Diana died, we were all shocked and heartbroken.
I was 2 y.o. when I saw this heartbreaking news. I was such a fan of her. She was my role model..and still is.
The beginnings of the emotional incontinence that has plagued the UK ever since.
Yep. Pathetic outcrying of national emotion that was ridiculous for a woman that while did some good work was as manipulating as others in her circle. Would the outcry of emotion been as much if she was not as good looking? I think not.
How's the North doing by the way? Your mate Trump might need a place to stay soon 😉
@@chiselcheswick5673 He's going to be my ambassador to Russia!

I was 13 when I saw this news...so sad. Forever the Queen of Hearts 💕
