At the time of her death, Princess Diana was one of the most photographed ladies in the world. During the 1980s and 1990s, she appeared to be followed by paparazzi everywhere she went. When she died, the entire world cried for her loss. Many blame the madness of tabloid culture for this.

Look at these photos of Diana taken right before her death, which show a different side of her:
