@fabrisgassmoney: Princess Diana Had a Closed Coffin at Her Funeral — and the Reason Why Is Both Medical and Heartbreaking On 6 September 1997, six days after her death in Paris, Princess Diana's coffin moved through central London on a carriage drawn by six black horses of the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery. It was closed. The million people lining the streets would not see her, and neither would the estimated 2.5 billion watching around the world. The decision was medically sensible and also entirely conventional, and understanding it requires a gentle look at the circumstances rather than a dramatic one. She had sustained severe internal injuries, severe enough that a closed coffin was the appropriate choice on medical grounds alone. That was reinforced by British practice, which has had essentially no tradition of open-coffin ceremonies for well over a century — unlike in parts of Europe and the United States, where it remains common. The former royal butler Paul Burrell has said he placed photographs of her sons inside the coffin, taken from beneath her dressing table at Kensington Palace — the ones, by his account, that she looked at every morning, and which he felt ought to travel with her. A rosary that Mother Teresa had given her was placed in her hands. There is a strange symmetry in that detail: Mother Teresa died on 5 September, the day before the funeral, so the two of them were being mourned in the same week by much of the world. She was dressed in a long-sleeved black Catherine Walker gown, in a coffin lined with lead according to royal practice. She was buried on the island in the lake at Althorp, surrounded by water, which was chosen specifically so that no visitor could reach it. The family's reasoning was that the grave at a parish church would never have been left alone. Thirty years on, that judgement looks correct.

I remember that day the awful news of Princess Diana car accident and death my heart literally broke 💔 and then Mother Theresa's death broke my heart again. I watched Princess Diana's funeral and was late for work that day, I told my boss that i was mourning her death because i loved her and admired her and there will never be another Princess Diana. May she continues to Rest in Peace 🙏 She will forever be remembered 😢
