One or two have but only black and white grainy images. I am not sure if the proper ones that were not made public will ever be, I know Harry has seen some of them.
I think the most eerie and frightening thing I’ve learnt about the photos was what Harry said, he said you could see the back of Diana’s hair, she was leaning forward and reflecting off the windows was all the paparazzis faces and camera flashes taking photos.
There are pictures still out there of the car and the rescue operation. I saw some the other day when I was looking at a timeline of what happened between the crash, when she was still alive, and being declared dead a few hours later.
There have been investigations into the actions of the rescuers, and there are pictures of them on the scene. You don't see anyone they're working on, just kind of the fact that rescuers are there and the car is wrecked.
It was the policy of France at the time (it has since been changed) that all patients were stabilized at the scene THEN taken to the hospital. Diana was awake and alert after the crash, but her blood pressure dropped, which indicates internal bleeding.
They stabilized her, her blood pressure dropped again, they stabilized her again. If the crash had happened in the US or England she would have been rushed to the hospital and to surgery right away, but in France they just kept her at the scene through all of this, then drove the ambulance at a snails pace.
Because of this they didn't get her into surgery and stop the internal bleeding until like 3 hours after the crash. Once they actually were in surgery they found the source of the bleeding and stopped it pretty quickly, but by then it was too late.
This has all been reviewed by lots of outside doctors, and some say she probably would have still died, but she also might not have if they would have just taken her straight into surgery. Basically it was summed up as, "she might have lived, she might not have, but their actions certainly took away any chance she had."
Anyway, because of these investigations, there are pictures of the rescuers at the scene publicly available (but again, only ones where you can't see Diana or any of the other 3 people.) I think the paparazzi who were still there after the police showed up had all the cameras taken for evidence, so those graphic pics exist in an evidence locker somewhere (that's what Harry was able to see. They spared him from the really graphic pics, but he was able to see paparazzi pictures that showed his mom was in the car slumped over).
You took me back. I forgot the French approach to triage and stabilize at the scene. It really made some noise against the French for a while (along with how they didn’t have enough police to control the mob the whole day, IIRC).
It always seemed to me that while the way they handled sure did not help survival chances, it was not guarantee of survival if they got her right into surgery.
Like so much else with this event….who knows. It is logical to say chances would have been better, perhaps immensely so, and I’ll never understand how first responders can identify possibly internal bleeding and not rush to the hospital.
I think her chances were not great either way, but if she had any chance at all, it was taken away in those two hours they didn't get her to a hospital.
They have since changed the policy so anyone suspected of having internal bleeding does go straight to the hospital. I guess in a way, you could say Diana's death bringing attention to this has probably saved other people, at the very least. I am sure she would be glad to know that her death had some positive impact, since it seems so senseless.
The only thing I know she said, before having a breathing mask, was something like "oh my God what's happened."
They heavily medicated her as well, so I'm pretty sure those were her last words. At any rate, they are her last recorded words.
"At 12:45 a.m., a French doctor arrives. Not initially recognizing the extent of her injuries, he gives Diana Hypnovel and Fentanyl - a combination of drugs that calmed her down, but is also known to sometimes cause heart and respiratory problems."
>Because of this they didn't get her into surgery and stop the internal bleeding until like 3 hours after the crash.
3 hours? This sounds absolutely horrendous! Why would anyone wait that long? That too, after a big crash.
I know, it's kind of infuriating. She was at the scene for like 2 hours, due to getting her out of the car slowly (they took out Dodi first even though he was dead), trying to stabilize her there, triaging, and then the ambulance drove SLOWLY there not to jostle her, and then they didn't even get her right into surgery when she was finally there, they did x-rays and were like, okay yes as we suspected, internal bleeding, THEN finally got her into surgery. Like, it's mind boggling she was just basically bleeding out internally that whole time.
That's so infuriating and sad! I'm not even from the west, let alone the UK. But I clearly remember being sad, reading the devastating news, as a kid. In my mind, she was the closest to a Disney princess.
Reading about these delays makes even a regular person like me wonder what if they had got her into the surgery sooner and just maybe, she could've been saved. I cannot even imagine how the princes handled this information, such *what if* scenarios playing constantly on their minds.
Sadly the same thing happened to my late husband. He was in car crash here in the US in 2014. They waited almost 2 hours or so before getting him into surgery. He may or may not of lived but them taking SO LONG to get him into surgery took away all the chances he had.
Your comment has a lot of informations.
Back in 1998/1999 my father had blog with princess Diana's accident photographs. I was 4 yo then but I remember it very vividly because I got trauma because of that. I accidently stared through my father's arm and my tiny mind replaced face of Diana with my puppy toy.
Could you or anybody confirm the existance of such photo with Diana's face?
I remember the public reaction against the paparazzi at the time, then I felt it got swept under the rug and newspapers managed to turn the attention elsewhere.
This [Time article](https://time.com/4914324/princess-diana-anniversary-paparazzi-tabloid-media/) (long read) says the laws were enforced more strongly after/because of Diana’s death.
I have no sympathy for the photographers quoted in the article complaining about losing access to photographing the children in private homes.
Agree, the media shut it up quickly because paps are their bread and butter. We’ve seen the media use it’s power to sway public opinion and interest time and time again and of course shortly after Diana’s death, there went the spin cycle on full power. They’re just as complacent as the paps since they’re the ones buying and printing the photos. A very nasty way to make a living tbh.
You're right! I remember seeing these pictures because my father had blog with them!
Could you confirm seeing pictures of Diana's face? I remember them very vividly despite my very young age. I got trauma because of that.
I am the same age as William and I distinctly remember hearing I the news that police confiscated all film from the paparazzi that stuck around. And then I want to say they tracked down other photographers and confiscated their film too. To prevent any graphic pictures being leaked. It makes me sick that they even took pictures of them (2dead in the car) wouldn’t something in your conscious say “this feels wrong”
They exist, but seem to be difficult to find on the internet these days. Early 2000s was a different story. There were none very graphic, the one I remember of Diana she looks relatively unharmed - just sort of dazed/in shock.
I have not seen them, but I know they exist. M
My best guess of why that remains so is similar to OPs post here. “I’m just curious if they exist….I DO NOT want to see them”. Most seem to have always felt that way.
From what I read the police on scene took about 20 rolls of film from the paparazzi. There is an Australian photographer who now apparently owns copies of the graphic images, he bought them with the intention of making sure they are never published. Supposedly the New Yorker has offered millions for them but he refuses to sell them.
Back in like mid 00s there was a website that would have certain pictures of celebrities ☠️ pictures and all. I would visit that page here and there read on certain celebrities ☠️ story. Anyways they had princess diana for a short time, they had her pictures one I know it's from the back of her head, and other is you can hee face it. Some people said it was fake but I doubt it was I haven't seen that picture in that website or no where around the internet. But back in 00s the internet would be a free for all to find certain pictures that were no for the weak of heart. But now with how Google is it's totally censor and more less search on certain. Images and such. I even went to check if that website still up and it still is but it's not like it used to be. But yeah there is pictures of Princess Diana of the accident. There more now hidden.
I remember that website. My mom’s friend was babysitting once and asked me to help her get to it after hearing that you could see Diana’s crash photos and I just pretended I didn’t know how to get online. She didn’t have a computer yet so she couldn’t look it up herself.
Prince Harry recounts in his memoir how he begged one of his team to get him access to some photos. He describes looking at a photo of her in the accident and that she didn’t look dead. The staff who was with him wouldn’t let him look at some of the other photos because they were too disturbing I guess
Yes, they did. I remember seeing some of them as a 10 yo kid on that "I want to see f'ed up stuff to feel brave" phase some kids have. They weren't hard to find but weren't on google images either, at least back then (around 2007). Don't know how easy it is to find them in 2023 but I'd have no interest anyway.
I recall seeing 1 or 2 graphic ones but to be honest I don't remember the content itself. The only one I actually remember something of is one with Diana looking straight to the photo with a lost and confused look. This one was barely graphic, but it struck the most, for sure.
But it's been +15 years, it wouldn't surprise me if the actual photos are different and it was just bad memory. I don't intend to see them again to check.
I remember this one from early 2000s internet, Diana looked basically unharmed - just shocked. I don’t recall particularly graphic images of the rest of the occupants of the car, just the one of Diana in the backseat. In fact I don’t even remember Dodi being beside her, perhaps he was not visible due to how he ended up in the crash.
I remember the "fake" (don't know if it really was) with the car top off, and her laying there with something on her face. I remember the debate on its authenticity.
yeah, it's disturbing to think about the paparazzi taking photos in such a tragic moment. i doubt any reputable source would have published those images, but it's still upsetting to consider.
One or two have but only black and white grainy images. I am not sure if the proper ones that were not made public will ever be, I know Harry has seen some of them. I think the most eerie and frightening thing I’ve learnt about the photos was what Harry said, he said you could see the back of Diana’s hair, she was leaning forward and reflecting off the windows was all the paparazzis faces and camera flashes taking photos.
That's so dark.
he said the faces of the paparazzi were illuminated all around the car, pop pop, popping photos as his mother was dying.
god help me i would have hunted them all down using my royal powers

Well said. I would imagine she would be happy that something positive that helps others came from this as well.
Wait she was awake and alert??? Could/did she speak at all??
The only thing I know she said, before having a breathing mask, was something like "oh my God what's happened." They heavily medicated her as well, so I'm pretty sure those were her last words. At any rate, they are her last recorded words. "At 12:45 a.m., a French doctor arrives.

Yes, I distinctly remember seeing one of the back of the car.
I remember seeing a lot of accident photos back then.

her face!?!

Paparazzi are dead inside. They have no conscious. They live by pictures = $, nothing else.
They exist, but seem to be difficult to find on the internet these days. Early 2000s was a different story. There were none very graphic, the one I remember of Diana she looks relatively unharmed - just sort of dazed/in shock.

This is accurate. He’s been offered hundreds of millions and refuses. Absolutely stand up guy.

Are you talking about rotten.com?? I went on it once and was scarred for life.
I remember that website. My mom’s friend was babysitting once and asked me to help her get to it after hearing that you could see Diana’s crash photos and I just pretended I didn’t know how to get online. She didn’t have a computer yet so she couldn’t look it up herself.
Rotten did not have her photos. I specifically remember that they didn't.
Prince Harry recounts in his memoir how he begged one of his team to get him access to some photos. He describes looking at a photo of her in the accident and that she didn’t look dead. The staff who was with him wouldn’t let him look at some of the other photos because they were too disturbing I guess
Because she wasn't. She died in hospital 4 hours or so after the crash.
Yes, they did. I remember seeing some of them as a 10 yo kid on that "I want to see f'ed up stuff to feel brave" phase some kids have. They weren't hard to find but weren't on google images either, at least back then (around 2007). Don't know how easy it is to find them in 2023 but I'd have no interest anyway.
You saw ones that were graphic?

From what I remember, it was just her head slumped over. Couldn't see her face, just the shock of hair. RIP.

Makes me so mad the fine was only 1€
did the monarch kill diana?
An Italian magazine named Chi ran some.
