I Have ‘Very Secret’ Princess Diana Paris Car Crash Photos, Says Paparazzo
I stash of “very secret” photos from her fatal car crash 21 years ago in Paris will never be published, a celebrity snapper has revealed.
Veteran paparazzo Darryn Lyons said that he owns some pictures of the Princess of Wales that were taken from the crash and were never published before.
While speaking with Talk Radio host Saira Khan, Lyons said, “They’re kept very, very secret. It’s a long time since I’ve seen the pictures, although it’s imprinted on your brain. I remember ringing up when she’d had the accident in Paris, and three very successful tabloid editors wouldn’t believe me. I was probably one of the first five or ten people in the world that knew what had happened.”
“We just thought the princess was concussed with a broken arm at the time. It will be remembered as one of the most momentous news events in history, since JFK. She was a great lady, and she loved manipulating and using us guys in the media, and she knew the power of media. She was the first pop princess, and there won’t be anyone who comes anywhere near her,” he added (via Express).
Princess Diana and her boyfriend, Dodi al Fayed, died in the car crash in Paris on Aug. 31, 1997. Their driver, Henri Paul, also passed away at that time. It was, later on, revealed that the Princess of Wales passed away due to Paul’s gross negligence.
Years after her death, the mom of two’s legacy continues. Prince Harry recently continued his mom’s HIV legacy by attending the International AIDS Conference. Prince William’s promise to Princess Diana was also recently earlier this week.
In Paul Burrel’s book, “A Royal Duty,” Prince William reportedly vowed to reclaim his mom’s title.
“Don’t worry mommy, I will give it back to you one day when I am king,” a teenaged Prince William told Princess Diana three years before her death.
But the Duke of Cambridge was unable to fulfill his pact because Princess Diana died years later.
