This is my swan song too.
I'm not here to
Bang on about Diana.
This is my final word, celebration of her, and I will step off into the sunset now and not be available for comment.
Well, I was living in South Africa at the time, in Cape Town, and I got a call in the middle of the night, and it was my sister, Jane, and she said, don't worry, Diana's been in a car crash, but it's not too serious.
And I thought, okay, well, even if it's not serious, I can probably find out what's happening on the news.
And then through the night, I watched the TV news unfurling, and then I kept getting more and more distressing calls from home from my sister.
And then it escalated after a few hours to, I heard my brother-in-law in the background, who Robert Fellows used to work for the Queen as her private secretary.
And I heard him go, oh no.
And then my sister Jane said, I'm afraid she's died.
So that's how.
So it started in my life in that night as a little prang.
And then it became a broken leg, perhaps a head injury, and then death.
It was really heartbreaking.
I was alone in the house with my four children, who were very small at the time, and my three little girls came tumbling through into the kitchen.
And Diana had just been staying with us a few months earlier in Cape Town.
So when I said, I'm afraid I've got this terrible news, and they just looked up at me, and I said, yes, I'm afraid Aunt Diana's died.
And that's what Eliza said, not in real life, Daddy.
Utterly heartbreaking.
Well, I was rushing around the house, preparing the children and all of that sort of thing for the day ahead.
