It was the early hours of August 31, 1997, in a tunnel in Paris, when the life of the so-called “people’s princess” came to an end. She left behind two children, 15-year-old William and 12-year-old Harry, and millions of people who mourned her as if they had lost someone close.

Her funeral, six days later, was watched by more than 2.000 billion people around the planet.

Her brother Charles Spencer, who delivered the speech at that farewell, confessed that every August 31 remains his most difficult day of the year.

Now he is preparing a book to tell the story of who his sister really was: a woman with doubts, charisma, and an enormous capacity for love, who, despite leaving this world young, left it better than she found it. 💐
