TIL Princess Diana's Last Words were "My God, what’s happened?"
I remember watching the coverage of this. In a surreal night, the strangest thing was during one of the live update conferences, a guy in a suit stepped forward unannounced and said something along the lines of "I'd just like to assure Lord #name forgotten# that everything is under control". Then stepped back from view. There were a bunch of us watching at the time and as one we said "what the fuck was that!" I've never been able to find the footage again. I'd very much like to know who the bloke was. More on reddit.com

If the Queen did not express sadness over Diana's death
Yep, I honestly think it would have ended the monarchy. They did a lot of PR to rehab the monarchys image after Diana, but that the time people hated the Queen. Like on the verge of rioting in the streets. If they didn’t give her a proper funeral and at least pretend the mourn her they were absolutely done for. More on reddit.com
