Sergeant Xavier Gourmelon told the Daily Mail that when he arrived at the crash site in August 1997, Diana was still moving and talking.

She spoke in English and said: God, what happened? ) I could understand, so I tried to calm him down. I was holding my hand,” said Gourmelon, who made statements to the police, but never before spoke to the press.

The crash on a subpass immediately left driver Henry Paul dead as well as Diane's new boyfriend, Dody Fayed.

Diana, however, looked physically good in addition to a damaged shoulder, recalls Gourmelon, who had no idea he was trying to save a princess.

Only after Lady Diana was taken with an ambulance did he discover who was from a captain at the scene.

He told me who she was. Yes, I knew him, but at that moment I didn't recognize him,” he said about the picture.

One of the first persons to try to help the princess was the outside doctor, Frederick Mailliaz, who passed through the accident scene while returning home from a party.

He saw two people apparently dead and two others including Diane's bodyguard who were seriously injured but still alive. He first helped Diane, who was in the back of the car.

I discovered that she was a beautiful woman and there was no [serious] damage to her face. She wasn't bleeding, but she was almost unconscious and had trouble breathing. She looked good in the first few minutes,” he remembers. So I started speaking English to her, saying I was a doctor and that the ambulance was coming and everything was going to be okay. And so I left the scene without knowing who I was dealing with. ”

News of Princess Diana's death shocked the whole world.
