I've just seen this on AOL News. :(


Pictures of a dying Diana, Princess of Wales are due to be broadcast on television in the US.

The photographs, never seen before, will show the stricken princess moments after the 1997 car crash in Paris, which led to her death hours later.

The pictures will be shown on the US network CBS, which said it had attained a copy of the confidential French investigation report into the crash.

The 48 Hours programme has obtained thousands of pages of confidential documents, including the forensic analysis and post-mortem examination of the driver Henri Paul and analysis of the car.

A programme spokeswoman said the show would also include images of Diana at the scene after the crash.

The programme will also look at persistent rumours that the Princess was pregnant when she died.

According to CBS, the report says Mr Paul was receiving money from an unknown source.

Diana's former protection officer Ken Wharfe and Patrick Jephson, her chief of staff, are interviewed on the show.

They tell of the great lengths they went to to hide Diana's marriage difficulties, and how she conducted extra marital affairs.

Clarence House declined to comment on the matter.

The images will no doubt bring further distress to Princes William and Harry, who have faced continued conspiracy theories.

They have also had to contend with old video footage of the princess talking about her life being aired on US TV recently.

Diana and Dodi Fayed were killed in the crash, which also claimed the life of driver Mr Paul.

A spokesman for Mohamed al Fayed said Dodi's father was waiting to see what the broadcast contained but that the use of photographs of Diana in the aftermath of the crash would be "distressing and distasteful".

Chester Stern said: "I know he would be upset by this."

He added: "All we know of is the stills which appeared in newspaper offices that night in Britain which were not published by the editors.

"We have always believed that was the correct decision. It would be distressing and distasteful."

Mr al Fayed has staged a lengthy legal battle against paparazzi photographers who were following Diana and Dodi that night for invasion of privacy.
 
Why can't they just let the poor lady rest in peace? This is ridiculous IMO and I definitely won't be watching. :mad:
 
I feel bad for William and Harry. Poor boys. :(
 
I'm sure a lot of people will tune in out of morbid curiousity. :(

I just feel bad for William and Harry. I can't imagine what it would be like for them to see those pictures. :(
 

When we were in Paris last month we went to "the underpass." There are lots of grafitti tributes to Di and Dodi..I just stood there and thought, "What an unnecessary death..."
 
I think this is so distasteful :( She spent her whole life hiding from paparazzi and even when she passed away she couldn't get rid of them. I can't tell you how ticked off I was when I saw that picture of her in the car accident on the news....leave the poor lady alone!
 
When will they ever let her rest in peace & let her memory live on, how we remember her:(
 
I just saw a 1-second preview of the black and white photocopy of photos on CBS. Very blurry. But I can clearly see her eyes closed. I dont' know.....I don't feel good about this. On one hand I wanted to see it because of curiosity, on the other hand, I felt so guilty knowing the image is out there for me to see.

I think I'll be turning off my TV tonight. I feel so bad for her sons. What a tragedy.

Makes me think.... when we were young, we were all told these fairy tale stories... we all hope to be the princess. Not any more. If I have daughters, I don't think I ever will feed that hope. Nothing is that simple anymore.

:(
 
I just saw the headlines online as well. What a nasty course of events seems to be turning up regarding Diana lately.What with her audiotapes and NBC specials detailing all the problems in the marriage. I have to agree that the boys are the big losers.
Is it just me or are we Americans the ones digging up this stuff instead of letting it stay buried? Is this the only way to TV ratings?

So sad, so sad.:(
 
Wow even the brit rags wouldn't publish them -- that is amazing.
 
Such a shame. There's no reason to show those photos. I just hope not many people tune in to watch.
 
On CBS this Morning, they had an interview with her "body guard" stating she had an "affair" with her gym instructer......WHO CARES!!!! SHE IS DEAD LEAVE HER ALONE!!!:mad: She will always be a princess: in my eyes.:o
 
Her death was a true tragedy. I will forever feel as though the Queen had something to do with her death....but that's just a personal opinion. I however don't believe that the media should be publishing these photos. They only thing it's going to do is further sadden her two sons. :(
 
I watched this tonight and the blurry black and white photo is the only one they showed. Just as it was seen in the preview.

The disproved the pregnancy angle and presented the men she was involved with in a very neutral manner. I was surprised/impressed that it was not full of sensational material, IMHO.

That said, they need to leave this family go on with their lives and have their memories of her intact.
