Princess Diana died on 31 August 1997 August 30, 2019 - 20:03 BST Jenni McKnight Royal fans have already started paying tribute to Princess Diana on the eve of the anniversary of her death. Saturday 31 August marks 22 years since she was killed after a horrific car crash in Paris that also claimed the life of her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, along with the driver, Henri Paul.
A large banner including photos of Diana throughout the years was pinned to the gates, with a message that read: "Diana, Princess of Wales, forever in our hearts. Your good work continues through your sons." The photos are a regular feature on the palace gates for Diana's birthday and the anniversary of her death every year.MORE: A definitive guide to Kate Middleton's style
This year’s anniversary is likely to hold special meaning for Harry, who welcomed his first child, Archie Harrison, with Duchess Meghan in May. William – who lives at the Palace with the Duchess of Cambridge and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – has reportedly invited his brother to the Palace for lunch or dinner. According to Us Weekly, they will discuss what their mother taught them and reminisce about how important she was in their lives.
Diana would have celebrated her 58th birthday this year if she had survived the crash. William was 15 years old and Harry just 12 when their mother was killed. The royal brothers have already planned their own permanent memorial to their mother. Sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley was chosen by William and Harry to create a statue of Diana. The design for the artwork has been chosen and will be erected in the grounds of Kensington Palace.

I remember hearing the news on the radio & rushing to put the TV on. It's also been 22 years since my dad passed away, in May of 1997, he would have been 73.

Killed is right. She knew too much about the pedophilia running rampant under the Queen's nose ! ! ! Know what I mean ?
Shocking that it has been so many years since that tragic day. She was a beautiful human being ❤️
NatriceR Can't believe it's been 22 years! What a tragic and needless loss. She'd be so proud of her boys🇨🇦
Princess Diana would have been so proud of her oldest son and loved his family to pieces. She would have been disgusted by Meghan markle and her destructiveness and harry turned out. megxit

She wasn't called Princess Diana
And i bet she’s turning in her grave because of her precious little Harry.
It was a tragic day. The boys have done her proud Diana22 PrincessDiana
I think the word you are looking for is murdered, killed implies it was an accident.
Murdered in Paris you mean.
Still miss her. I wish she was here to hug her boys. X
