1997-08-31 - BBC Radio 1 - First Princess Diana Newsbeat Reports 

Diana had already died when that last update happened - and I think it was right around then that the media actually found out, under an embargo (which got broken around 4:40am by the Press Association). They were able to find out as soon as they did because a royal death abroad is a Foreign Office concern officially, and the Foreign Secretary happened to be on diplomatic business in East Asia, where it was already daytime. Indeed, his scheduled flight out of Manila got delayed, and his was the first official confirmation IIRC, along with the French minister Chevenement mentioned in the second bulletin as being in the hospital.

That French guy in the beginning sounded like a usual British guy with a awful french accent, if that guy really wasn't a real french person, he could have caused a lot of problems with the media during that night when Diana was killed

So some French guy just happened to be looking out of his window, in the middle of the night, at the few second gap that they drove past to see a crash that happened in a tunnel? Yeah, I smell something here and it isn't garlic bread.

We ask governments in all countries to unite the bridge pillars as high as one or two meters so that if a car hits a bridge support, it can still slide not as badly as a car crashes into a bridge pillar so that an accident hitting a pillar like what happened to Princess Diana does not happen again,

She was murdered!
