Diana's anniversary will be 'traumatic' for William and Harry, says royal expert
ok.co.ukThe 25th anniversary of Princess Diana's death will be "traumatic" for her sons Prince William and Prince Harry, a royal expert has claimed.
Wednesday marks quarter of a century since Diana, her partner Dodi Fayed, and the driver of their car Henri Paul died following a crash in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris.
