On a bright afternoon on August 30, 1997, Princess Diana and her partner Dodi Al Fayed boarded a private jet at Le Bourget Airport in Paris after a week-long vacation in the Mediterranean. The intention was to spend some time alone in Paris.
But as soon as she stepped foot at the airport, the violence of the photojournalists or `paparazzi` began. A group of camera-hunters, riding motorcycles, surrounded Diana with cameras in hand.
