We are a few days away from the 25th anniversary of one of the saddest days of memory. It is inevitable that every August 31st we imagine the figure of Lady Di. It was that day in 1997 when the princess was killed in a traffic accident on the Puente de l’Alma in Paris. Her lover, Dodi Al Fayed, who also died on the spot, traveled with her. The story of how the fateful event unfolded has been told on several occasions, but what had not been revealed until now were the British woman’s last words before she died.

The firefighter took Diana of Wales’s hand to comfort her and keep her calm. It was then that Prince Charles’s ex told him: “Oh my god, what happened?”.

Diana regained consciousness and was taken by ambulance to a hospital in the French capital. Along the way, however, he fell into a coma from which he would never wake up and the rest is history.

The result was a tragedy that even the man who attended her did not expect: “To be honest I thought I would live. As far as I knew she was alive when she was in the ambulance and I expected she would still be alive. But then I found out that he had died in the hospital. It was very sad,” the firefighter recalls.
