Princess Diana's untimely death in 1997 shocked the whole world — but could it be that she
predicted what was going to happen?
And exactly who did she point the finger at?
Keep watching for all the answers.
Diana died on August 31st, 1997, at the age of 36.
At the time of the accident, Prince William was only 15 years old, while his little brother
Prince Harry was just 12.
As recently as May of 2022, William has said that he still lives with the grief of having
lost his mother.
Harry has also admitted to experiencing "trauma" over the loss.
"I wish she could have met Meghan.
I wish she was around for Archie."
While much is known about the princess' death, not many people are aware that she reportedly
predicted it was going to happen — and she was spookily accurate on the details, too.
In fact, Princess Diana was so convinced she would die young that she actually wrote down
what she believed would happen.
Her butler, Paul Burrell, wrote in his book A Royal Duty that Diana wrote him a letter
just months before she died.
Burrell claims it said:
"This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous — my husband is planning 'an accident'
in my car, brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for
him to marry Tiggy.
Camilla is nothing but a decoy, so we are all being used by the man in every sense of
the word."
"Tiggy" is Tiggy Legge-Bourke, a nanny for William and Harry with whom Princess Diana
allegedly thought Prince Charles was having an affair.
Clearly this note was taken seriously, too.
Lord Stevens, former head of Scotland Yard, once told the Daily Mail that he had questioned
Prince Charles in 2005 over the contents of Diana's note to Burrell.
Apparently, a handwriting expert confirmed to the police that the note had indeed been
written by Diana.
According to Lord Stevens, Charles was unable to explain what had spurred Diana into writing
it.
But this was not the only proof that Diana had a premonition about her untimely death.
Another piece of evidence suggests she somehow knew what would lie ahead for her.
Rather than her royal butler, however, this one has to do with her sons — who are still
dealing with the effects of losing their mother all these years later.
Reportedly, Princess Diana was convinced she would not survive to see her sons grow up
— so much so, in fact, that she created audio tapes for Prince William and Prince
Harry to listen to after she died.
Each of them apparently offered up advice for the princes.
A source told OK Magazine:
"She told me she made the tapes for the day she wouldn't be around to help guide her boys.
As incredible as it was, Diana knew she was going to die young."
Perhaps more spuriously, the same source claimed the philanthropic mother of two was keyed
into "the spirit world and psychic events" – and her longtime astrologer has even turned
up to back up those claims.
In addition to revealing the letter she wrote to him, Paul Burrell has said that Diana met
with an astrologer — one who may have convinced her that a tragedy would end her life.
But this is not exactly what happened, at least according to Princess Diana's astrologer,
Debbie Frank.
In 2017, she spoke to a British tabloid about her last encounter with the princess.
According to Frank, her famous royal client requested consultations up to three times
every day.
During their final conversation, Frank revealed:
"We were looking at her chart and I said to Diana, 'Oh there's an eclipse.'
Significant things happened to her when there was an eclipse — like the separation announcement
from Charles and the birth of William."
Given those examples, Frank claims the upcoming eclipse seemed to indicate a happy event was
ahead — but unthinkably, Diana died, an outcome that the astrologer insisted she could
not have seen coming.
To her mind, even with what the princess may have felt in her gut about her life being
cut short, her shocking passing was simply a matter of "tragic fate."
