After returning from holiday with her boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed, Diana was ready to take a step back from the public eye. She wanted to focus on herself for a change, and after all of her charity work she deserved it. On the night of August 30, 1997, she and Fayed enjoyed a late dinner at the Ritz's L’Espadon restaurant before trying to lose the photographers who followed her every movement.

The couple slipped into a black Mercedes S 280 driven by Henri Paul, the hotel's assistant director of security and made their way down the Seine. When their car made it to the Place de l'Alma they were circled by seven cameramen on five motorcycles, then came the crash. A waiter named Jerome Laumonier who was near the entrance of the bridge told People:

There was this huge, violent, terrifying crash followed by the lone sound of a car horn.

Fayed died on the scene, Diana held on until 4:57 a.m. and the world was shaken forever.
