@cbssundaymorning: Aug. 31, 2025, marks 28 years since the death of Princess Diana. In a story first broadcast on “CBS Sunday Morning” on Aug. 31, 1997, Martha Teichner reported on Diana’s tragic death while being pursued by paparazzi.
Honestly- looking back now as a woman and now a mom- the fact that she was NINETEEN is absolutely wild. She was a child, he was in his 30’s. It was ridiculous. She was mature and beautiful and obviously an exceptional human being but the fact no one was even talking about this is so sad to me. Her frontal lobe wasn’t developed and she was dealing with ALL of that. SO sad.

The similarities between Diana and Meghan are so clear. Meghan, though, has to deal with social media and all the trolls. It's really no wonder Harry did what he did. He didn't want history to repeat itself.

She was hunted mercifully. The stories about her now sugar coat the reality of the paparazzi and how they pursued her relentlessly. She deserved better

It’s crazy how unethical the paparazzi was in the 90s and 2000s. There should still be more laws to protect folks from them.

I was just going to record her funeral because it was at 4 AM here, but I spontaneously woke up at 4 anyway. I figured watching was the least I could do for a woman who did so much for people. R.I.P., Diana. You are still so loved and missed.

Charles was having an affair with camellia, and Diana found out that’s when Diana strayed.

With each anniversary, we don’t count the years, we count the flame that Diana ignited and that still burns. She is no longer a memory, but the faithful heart of the world that beats on.

I heard the news from TV while sitting at the end of a bed in a hotel in Pawtucket, RI, there for Labor Day weekend minor league baseball games. It’s one of those moments when you’ll always remember where you were.
