Twenty-five years later, no one has forgotten her.
The aura of Lady Diana, timeless fashion icon and people's princess, has transcended generations.
In fact, the world never really recovered from his passing.
The mother of Princes Harry and William, who lost her life at the age of 36 in a tragic car accident, still fascinates.
The general public never tires of (re)discovering the story of her life, from her magical and infernal romance with Prince Charles to her dissensions with the royal family, including her silent war against Camilla Parker Bowles.
Scandals, Lady Diana: the broken destiny of an icon
LISTEN TO THE PODCAST
Its existence continues to inspire directors of all persuasions.
Witness the recent release of the biopic
Spencer
, by Pablo Larraín, starring Kristen Stewart.
But also that of
The Princess,
a critically acclaimed documentary.
And then of course, season 5 of
The Crown
, dedicated to the end of her relationship with Charles.
However, barely this new burst of episodes unveiled, season 6 is already at the heart of the controversy.
Members of the production even revolted, wondering if it was very reasonable to stage the death of the princess in the show.
Why so much reluctance, where we have shown much less respect for other celebrities?
Why does Diana still intrigue, years after her death, and even though her life as a princess was a thousand leagues from ours?
What image does it now have with the general public?

Scandals
, journalist Chloé Friedmann returns with Erin Vanderhoof, reporter for the American edition of
Vanity Fair
, to the tragic disappearance of the princess of hearts, and wonders why her death remains such a sensitive subject, 25 years old later.
