As Dodi Fayed was preparing to propose to Kate Middleton's mother-in-law, the news reached the media and a lot of paparazzi came over. The press that had been following Prince William's mom doubled in size that Princess Diana and her lover didn't expect.
Hence, Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed decided to avoid the paparazzi so they took the back exit of Hôtel Ritz Paris and rode a Mercedes Benz. After only five minutes of travel, their car hit the 13th pillar of the Alma tunnel and Prince William and Kate Middleton's mother was trapped inside. After 30 minutes, she got freed but suffered a heart attack that caused her life.
